Veuve Clicquot unveils its newest champagne expressions -- 'RICH' and 'RICH Rosé' -- just in time for summer celebrations. Crafted to be enjoyed over ice, these refreshing cuvées reflect the French Maison’s signature 'art de vivre,' making them a chic companion for sun-soaked moments, whether by the pool or atop a rooftop terrace. A fresh take on indulgent sipping, RICH delivers a vibrant balance of sweetness and effervescence.
Infused with flavors of pineapple, mango, mirabelle plum, lemongrass, and peppermint, both RICH and its rosé counterpart are composed primarily of Pinot Noir and designed to highlight their lush fruit character when chilled and poured over ice. Categorized as sweet champagnes, they invite a playful yet refined twist on traditional champagne service, ideal for summer leisure and warm-weather entertaining.
