On Tuesday, Veuve Clicquot revealed two new cuvées set to hit U.S. cabinets early this fall: RICH and RICH Rosé. Each glowing wines, every containing 55 grams of sugar per liter, are categorized as candy Champagnes and are designed to be loved chilled or over ice.
The cuvées’ names pay homage to the Maison’s conventional method of distinguishing its candy Champagne. Beginning as early as 1877, Veuve Clicquot has labeled its bottles of sweeter bubbly as “wealthy” to tell apart them from the model’s non-vintage yellow label Brut, which is at the moment made with 9 grams of sugar per liter.
Each candy wines start with a mix of fifty % Pinot Noir, 30 % Pinot Meunier, and 20 % Chardonnay, with 40 to 45 % of the liquid coming from reserve wines.
In response to the model, RICH highlights tropical and orchard fruit flavors like pineapple, mango, Mirabelle plum, and a contact of lemongrass. The Rosé is claimed to exude notes of strawberry, raspberry, and redcurrant with a touch of peppermint.
The Veuve Clicquot Polo Basic on October 5 in Los Angeles will function the official U.S. launch for each RICH and RICH Rosé. In early fall 2024, each candy Champagnes can be out there at prompt retailers in California and on-line nationwide at VeuveClicquot.com for a prompt retail worth of $68 and $72, respectively.
