Description

Veuve Clicquot RICH is a vibrant and modern reinterpretation of Champagne—designed to be enjoyed chilled or over ice, it delivers ripe fruit, soft sweetness and refreshing versatility. It’s ideal for lively occasions, stylish cocktails, or simply elevating your summer afternoons. Origins & CraftsmanshipCreated by the prestigious Champagne house Veuve Clicquot in the Champagne region of France, RICH is blended with a higher dosage and a generous share of reserve wines to deliver a richer, fruit-forward character. The grape composition is approximately 45% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier and 15% Chardonnay. What sets it apart: it’s specifically crafted to be served on ice or with fresh ingredients, inviting playful mixology and leisure-driven consumption. The name “RICH” nods to historic sweeter-style Champagnes of the past, updated for modern enjoyment. Critics ReviewsAccording to commentators, RICH “boosts the fruit to a new level” with increased Meunier content and a higher sweetness dosage, producing “exotic fruit and floral aromas” and a “fresh, creamy finish.” One reviewer described it as “perfect for mixing or drinking on the rocks—designed with an unmistakable sense of fun and versatility.” Tasting Profile Nose: Bright and generous with fresh mango, white peach, citrus blossom and a hint of apricot-kernel. Palate: Smooth and generous—lush orchard fruit (ripe pear, white peach), pineapple hints and vanilla cream mingle with gentle citrus acidity and soft spice. The higher dosage brings a subtle sweetness without becoming cloying. Finish: Medium-long, with lingering soft stone-fruit and a fresh, clean minerality—inviting another sip rather than demanding it.
