The modern-day Maison of Veuve Clicquot possesses one of the finest champagne vineyards, both in terms of its size and the quality of its vines.
This exceptional heritage was built up over the centuries, founded upon the parcels first established by the founder, and added to by subsequent vineyard directors. Veuve Clicquot bears the fortuitous territorial mark of Madame Clicquot. While the latter only represents a quarter of the total surface of vines in the entirety of the Champagne region. Each plot’s grape variety is determined by assessing its soil, climate and exposure. The Veuve Clicquot vineyard is comprised of 47% Chardonnay grapes, 36% Pinot Noir and 17% Pinot Meunier. The Clicquot vines are mostly situated on gentle sloping hills allowing the vines to benefit from shallow soil and a maximum exposure to sunlight. Since its foundation, the Maison of Veuve Clicquot has also established a strong partnership with its fellow winegrowers in Champagne. These providers of grapes and white wines help ensure the consistent quality of the Veuve Clicquot wines.
The fruit aromas in Veuve Clicquot RICH and RICH ROSE has been boosted to sensational new levels. Veuve Clicquot signature Pinot Noir is given a new versatility with the higher dosage, while the greater presence of Meunier emphasises fresh, fruity, gourmand notes. As Veuve Clicquot Cellar Master shares, Sugar in champagne is like spices in a recipe: used correctly it can bring out specific aromas and play with flavours.
