Its creation is contemporary like that of Nouvelle Cuisine. Similar to this lighter, purer way of preparing food, Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut appears without make-up, in its natural form.
Like a spring rose petal this wine has a remarkable golden-pink hue. It has beautifully delicate bubbles that caress the inside of the flute with undying finesse.
The Brut Reserve is renowned for its pale straw colour with a consistent and fine mousse. The nose is light and delicate with hints of biscuit and brioche.
Flavours are dominated by intense fresh citrus fruit which then give way to a much fuller, well-bodied and mellow taste with flavours reminiscent of white peaches in syrup.
After an extremely rude winter, followed by a very dry spring and summer, the 1996 harvest conditions were excellent. Never in the memory of Champagne had such a balance of maturity and freshness been seen before. The 1996 vintage is, without a doubt, one of the most vibrant, near-perfect expressions of La Grande Dame.
The term "Rich" first appeared in the Veuve Clicquot House archives in March 1876. It designated the wines that were to be shipped to the United Kingdom and distinguished them from "Dry" champagnes.
Following the magnificent year of 1999, the Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Cellar Master decided to select those wines produced from the 2002 harvests to create the very first trilogy of Veuve Clicquot champagnes in the 21st century.
The Veuve Clicquot Vintage Rosé is a true symphony of wine, orchestrated by Madame Clicquot in1818 when she blended, for the very first time in Champagne history, a selection of the finest black and white grapes.
Just three years following its foundation, the House of Clicquot began illustrating its innovative spirit in 1775 by signing the very first bottle of rosé in the history of Champagne.
