Veuve Clicquot Rich Rose
Veuve Clicquot Rich Rosé is a 750mL non-vintage Champagne created to be served on ice — a sweet-styled cuvee the house labels "Doux" at 55 g/L dosage, blended 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Meunier and 20% Chardonnay from 50–60 crus, with 15% red wine from a Bouzy parcel and up to 45% reserve wines. The house publishes no ABV for this bottling, so none is stated here. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Champagne, On the Rocks
The Rich range turns Champagne convention on its head: a high-dosage cuvee blended specifically to wake up over ice, where the cold and dilution bring the red fruit forward — the house suggests trying it on the rocks with ginger, pineapple, lime or tea. This rose version layers 15% Bouzy red wine into the current 50/30/20 Rich blend. Explore the house on the Veuve Clicquot vendor page or browse more Champagne and sparkling wine and rosé wine.
Tasting Notes
From the producer: a solar, opulent style — strawberry, raspberry and redcurrant sweetness with exotic notes and a lift of peppermint, the red fruit drawn out further when served over ice.
How to Enjoy
Fill a glass halfway and add ice — the house ritual uses an ice sphere — and serve most expressive at around 4°C; house pairings include smoked fish, spicy fruit salad and sweet potato or chicken yakitori skewers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why serve Rich Rose over ice? It was blended for it: at 55 g/L dosage the cuvee is deliberately sweet, and ice plus a fresh ingredient (ginger, pineapple, lime or tea, per the house) balances and aromatises it.
Is Rich Rose the same dosage as Rich? No — on the current official pages the white Rich is 60 g/L and this Rich Rose is 55 g/L, labelled "Doux" by the house.
How much red wine is in it? 15%, drawn from a Bouzy parcel of Pinot Noir, per the current official product page.
