Overview:Become a mixologist, or Clicquologist! and express your taste with Rich, the first Champagne created expressly to be combined with ice and a fresh ingredient.

In the history of Champagne, wines that were blended for greater sweetness were customarily described as Rich. In Russia, consumers would add sugar to their champagne, thus adding a personal touch to their wine.

The Rich blend is comprised of Pinot Noir (45%), the main pillar of Veuve Clicquots winemaking, which gives the champagne its fundamental structure. The large part of Meunier (40%) provides roundness to the blend and Chardonnay (15%) completes it with extra freshness. For Rich Ros, the blend is completed with 15% Pinot Noir red wine.
Richs uniqueness is in its dosage of 60 g/L, which enhances the blends aromas. As Veuve Clicquots Cellar Master shares, Sugar in champagne is like spices in a recipe: used correctly it can bring out specific aromas and play with flavors.

Tasting Notes: The fruit aromas in Veuve Clicquot RICH has been boosted to sensational new levels. Veuve Clicquots signature Pinot Noir is given a new versatility with the higher dosage, while the greater presence of Meunier emphasizes fresh, fruity, gourmand notes.

Pairing:Pineapple, grapefruit zest, cucumber, celery, peppers or tea all on the rocks.
