STORY BEHIND THIS WINE

In 1818, the formidable Madame Clicquot, “La grande dame de la Champagne” invented this Rosé. Taken from a selected blend of 50-60 Crus from some of the most sought-after vineyards in the region, it is based on the House’s Yellow Label Cuvée.The structure is a blend of 50% pinot noir and 20% Meunier to provide youthfull fruitness and 30% chardonnay for finesse and elegance.
