Brut Rosé | Magnum 150cl

Description

The Brut Rosé in magnum from the house of Veuve Clicquot is the expression of the know-how of this iconic house. Indeed, it was Madame Clicquot who invented rosé champagne! This large format reveals the perfect encounter between freshness, fruitiness, and refinement. With its vibrant notes and subtle balance, it perfectly accompanies both an aperitif and a fruity dessert.

The Making of Veuve Clicquot Brut Rosé in Magnum

The magnum of Brut Rosé draws its structure and character from a rigorous blend of 50 to 60 carefully selected crus. Inspired by the iconic style of the Brut Carte Jaune, this cuvée combines 44 to 48% Pinot Noir, 25 to 29% Chardonnay, and 13 to 18% Meunier. Reserve wines, from 5 to 6 different harvests, are integrated at a rate of 25 to 35%, or even up to 40%, to maintain a certain consistency. These reserve wines, sometimes kept for up to 9 years, bring a unique aromatic depth. Finally, the addition of 12% red wines from Champagne gives this rosé its brilliant color and distinct aromatic profile. The ensemble is completed with a dosage of 10 g/l for a perfectly balanced final touch.

The Advantages of the Magnum

The magnum offers undeniable advantages for the preservation and tasting of champagne. Thanks to a reduced air-to-wine ratio, aging in magnum is slower and more harmonious, allowing the freshness to be preserved while enhancing the complexity of the aromas. This generous format is ideal for moments of sharing and grand celebrations. It allows serving approximately 15 flutes.
