The Making of Veuve Clicquot Rich Champagne

The Rich cuvée is inspired by a historical heritage of Veuve Clicquot, where the term "Rich" once referred to sweet champagnes intended for the British market. Reviving this concept, Veuve Clicquot revisits the tradition with a modern and festive cuvée, distinguished by its sweetness and exotic aromas.

This champagne is based on a dominant 50% Pinot Noir, which provides structure, a characteristic base of the Veuve Clicquot style. The Chardonnay (20%) offers finesse and elegance, while the Pinot Meunier (30%) adds a pleasant roundness. The Rich cuvée also benefits from the presence of 40 to 45% reserve wines, carefully aged in the House's Crayères. These reserve wines bring a unique aromatic complexity. With a dosage of 55 g/L, it is classified among sweet champagnes, highlighting a fruity and floral aromatic palette.
