The creation of Veuve Clicquot's Rich champagne

The Rich cuvée is inspired by Veuve Clicquot's historical heritage, where the term "Rich" once referred to sweet champagnes intended for the British market. Reviving this concept, Veuve Clicquot revisits tradition with a modern and festive cuvée that stands out for its sweetness and exotic aromas.

This champagne is based on 50% Pinot Noir, which provides structure and a characteristic Veuve Clicquot base. Chardonnay (20%) offers finesse and elegance, while Pinot Meunier (30%) adds a pleasant roundness. The Rich cuvée also benefits from the presence of 40 to 45% reserve wines, carefully aged in the House's Crayères. These reserve wines bring a unique aromatic complexity. With a dosage of 55 g/L, it ranks among the sweet champagnes, highlighting a fruity and floral aromatic palette.
