Champagne Doux 'Rich' Veuve Clicquot
The Rich by Veuve Clicquot is a Champagne Doux, that is sweet, conceived to be mixed with ice cubes, fruits and spices to create eccentric and modern cocktails. Its smooth, exuberant and fruity sweetness, the important aromatic richness and the balanced freshness make it very versatile: the protagonist of a new way to drink Champagne
The Champagne “Rich” embodies the pioneering spirit and boldness that have always characterized the famous and historic house of Veuve Clicquot. It is indeed a Champagne Doux specifically created for mixology, meant to be enjoyed with the addition of ice and other ingredients like ginger, cucumber, citrus, and exotic fruits. It represents innovation that revolutionizes the way to drink and conceive French bubbles, while drawing inspiration from tradition and history. In the past, the cuvées of wines that Veuve Clicquot used for the production of sweet Champagne were called Rich, like those recovered from a sunken ship over 200 years ago in the Baltic Sea, perfectly preserved and endowed with a significant sugar residue. Moreover, in Russia, it has always been customary to sweeten Champagne to one’s liking.
The “Rich” from Veuve Clicquot is a versatile, rich, and concentrated Champagne, a harmonious blend of the structure of Pinot Noir, the intense fruity aromas of Pinot Meunier, and the freshness of Chardonnay.The abundant sugar dosage of 60 g/l makes it sweet and is aimed at enhancing the exotic, citrus, and fruity aromas. The chef de cave Dominique Demaville explained: “sugar in Champagne is equivalent to spices in a recipe; when used correctly, it can bring out and enhance the different aromas.” All of this allows anyone to express their creativity in creating eccentric and original tasting experiences, while always adhering to the elegance, quality, and connection to history and tradition that characterizes the maison Veuve Clicquot, from its founding in 1772 to the present day.
