Champagne Doux 'Rich' Veuve Clicquot

The “Rich” Champagne embodies the pioneering spirit and audacity that have always distinguished the famous and historic maison Veuve Clicquot. It is in fact a Champagne Doux created specifically for mixology , that is, to be tasted with the addition of ice and other ingredients such as ginger, cucumber, citrus fruits and exotic fruit. This is an innovation that revolutionizes the way of drinking and conceiving French bubbles but which finds inspiration in tradition and history. In fact, the cuvées of wines that Veuve Clicquot used for the production of sweet Champagne were once called Rich, like those found in a ship sunk over 200 years ago in the Baltic Sea, perfectly preserved and equipped with a significant residual sugar . Furthermore, in Russia it has always been customary to sweeten Champagne to your liking.

Veuve Clicquot's “Rich” is a Champagne versatile, rich and concentrated , a harmonious fusion between the structure of Pinot Noir, the intense fruity aromas of Pinot Meunier and the freshness of Chardonnay. The abundant sugar content of 60 g/l makes it sweet and is aimed at enhancing the exotic, citrus and fruity aromas . The cellar master Dominique Demaville explained: “sugar in Champagne is like spices in a recipe; if used correctly, it can bring out the different aromas and enhance them”. All this to allow anyone to express their creativity in creating eccentric and original tasting experiences, but always in the wake of that elegance, that quality and that link with history and tradition that characterizes the maison Veuve Clicquot, from its foundation in 1772 until today.
