Not everyone knows that, at the times of Madame Clicquot, Champagne was preferred with a higher sugar residue; even in Russia, it was common to add sugar in the glass, to give a more personal taste. A proof of this is the fact that some bottles recently found offshore the Aland Islands, bottles dating back to 1840, have a sugar residue of 150 grams per litre (just think that sugar content in a brut must be less than 12 grams per litre!). Inspired by this ancient custom, the Maison Clicquot, in 2015, created the 'Rich' version of its famous Champagne, a bold product designed for the world of mixing but in full Veuve style! The rosé will amaze you!
How to serve it?
Serve in a large coupe with 5 ice cubes and, depending on the taste to be obtained, one of these ingredients:
- grapefruit / pineapple for a fruity taste
- cucumber / celery for a refreshing taste
- tea for a refined taste
