Veuve Clicquot Vintage Rosé 2012 75cl. - Case

PREPARATION

Grapes: Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Pinot Noir red wine from Bouzy.

In 2012, Veuve Clicquot declared the house's 66th vintage. With grapes exclusive to Grands and Premiers Crus, Pinot Noir dominates the blend (51%) and provides that structure so typical of Clicquot, followed by Chardonnay (34%) that adds a delicacy and elegance essential to any perfectly balanced wine and, finally, Meunier (15%) that rounds out the blend. The 2012 Vintage Rosé blend is made with 13% red wine, exclusively from Bouzy Pinot Noir. The uniqueness of Vintage Rosé 2012 lies in a contribution of 11% of wines aged in large wooden barrels ("foudres"), which provide strength and aromatic intensity. The barrel-aged wines act as spices for the blend, providing very soft aromas of wood, vanilla and toast.
