The production of Veuve Clicquot Brut Rosé in magnum
The Brut Rosé magnum draws its structure and character from a rigorous blend of 50 to 60 carefully selected crus. Inspired by the iconic style of the Brut Carte Jaune, this cuvée combines 44 to 48% Pinot Noir, 25 to 29% Chardonnay and 13 to 18% Meunier. Reserve wines from five to six different harvests are added in proportions ranging from 25% to 35%, and up to 40% to maintain consistency. These reserve wines, sometimes aged for up to nine years, contribute unique aromatic depth. Finally, the addition of 12% red Champagne wines gives this rosé its bright color and distinctive aromatic profile. The blend is completed with a dosage of 10 g/l for a perfectly balanced finish.
