"A smoky version, exhibiting light berry and watermelon notes. Quite firm, as much from the chalky sensation as from the lively acidity. Despite its lightness, this shows intensity and length. Drink now through 2011." (WS)
"Salmon skin color. Energetic, floral nose offers finely etched apple and pomegranate scents, along with delicate mineral and jasmine nuances. Dry, stony and fresh, with precise, fairly deep pear, rhubarb and subtle red berry flavors. Finishes on a dusty, mineral note, with very good length." (IWC)
"Here is a rich and rounded play on the Rosé theme, and it is one that shows a good deal of accessible fruit. It is nominally yeasty and moderately foamy with a softer touch as far as any obvious vinosity goes. It is dry and firm without being overly acidic, and its impressions of well-scrubbed smoothness and polish means that it will be as comfortable sipped alone as when teamed up with foods.

Winery Notes:
As the Rose expression of the Brut Yellow Label, the flagship of Veuve Clicquot's thrilling and vibrant style, Veuve Clicquot Rose is the instinctive choice for distinctive and romantic celebration. Its superb rose colour with coppery accents brings an additional touch of audacity, modernity and romanticism, so Clicquot!
The wine has a luminous colour with radiant rose accents. The nose is elegant and generous, with initial aromas of fresh red fruit (raspberry, wild strawberry, cherry and blackberry) leading to dried fruits and biscuit notes (almonds, apricots and brioche).
On the palate, the fresh first impression is followed by a fruity harmonious sensation. In line with the style of the Veuve Clicquot House, the wine is perfectly balanced and combines elegance and personality.The wine works its magic - this delectable champagne is beautifully ample and full of charm. It is a delicious wine in early bloom, a Rose with character, wonderful as an aperitif to be shared as a twosome or with dear friends. |
