Terroirs
La Grande Dame Rosé 2018 pays tribute to the historic "Clos Colin" parcel, located in Bouzy in Champagne. Acquired in 1741, it is the oldest parcel in the Veuve Clicquot vineyard. With a surface area of 1.3 hectares, this clay-limestone terroir with a sandy texture imposes a slight hydric stress on the vines, which is favorable to their balance. This remarkable parcel gives rise to the red Pinot Noir wine used in the blending of this champagne rosé, after a maceration lasting around seven days to extract color and delicate tannins.
About this house
The Veuve Clicquot estate covers 393 hectares of land, exclusively devoted to growing grapes to supply the house. The vineyards are well distributed throughout the finest crus, including 12 of the 17 Grands Crus and 18 of the 44 Premiers Crus.
Its viticultural characteristics and the quality of the grapes obtained have resulted in an exceptional average classification of almost 96%. Most of the vines are planted on hillsides, benefiting from shallow soil and optimal sunshine.
L'Accord Parfait
Between Champagne and its dish
Input
The structure of the pinot noir and the fine tannins of the champagne support the richness of the duck, while the acidity adds freshness and balances the fat.
Cheese
Champagne's liveliness and effervescence cleanse the palate and balance the creamy texture of the cheese.

The natural red fruit aromas of the champagne continue those of the dessert, creating a beautiful aromatic continuity.
