WINE MAKING PROCESS
Veuve Clicquot Rich Rosé is a Non-Vintage Champagne produced using a blend of Pinot Noir, Meunier, and Chardonnay. The winemaking process involves primary fermentation of the base wines, followed by secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its signature bubbles. A significant characteristic is its higher dosage, contributing to a medium-sweet profile. Still red wine is incorporated for color and flavor. The wine is aged on its lees for a minimum of three years, contributing to its texture and complexity. Reserve wines, often comprising 20-45% of the blend, are utilized to ensure consistency across vintages.
