Veuve Clicquot Rich NV offers a deliberately different way to enjoy Champagne. Created specifically to be served extremely chilled or over ice, this sweeter, generously fruity cuvée combines the structure of Pinot Noir with rounded Meunier and fresh Chardonnay, producing an approachable Champagne packed with ripe, exotic fruit.
Pineapple, mango and pear are lifted by refreshing citrus and herbal notes, while its higher dosage gives Rich a soft, generous texture without losing freshness. Vibrant, unconventional and particularly suited to relaxed celebrations, summer drinking and cocktails, it is an excellent choice for anyone who prefers a fruitier, sweeter style of Champagne.
Generous and immediately fruity, with ripe pineapple, mango and pear accompanied by fresh citrus and delicate aromatic notes of lemongrass and verbena.
Rounded, generous and fruit-forward, with juicy tropical and white-fruit flavours balanced by lively freshness. The sweetness is clearly present but integrated into the wine's exuberant fruit character, while Pinot Noir provides enough structure to keep the palate defined.
Smooth and refreshing, with lingering tropical fruit, citrus and lightly aromatic herbal notes. Served very cold or over ice, the finish becomes particularly bright and refreshing.
Founded in Reims in 1772, Veuve Clicquot is one of Champagne's most recognised houses. Its history is inseparable from Madame Clicquot, who took control of the business in the early nineteenth century and became one of the pioneering figures of Champagne.
Blending lies at the heart of the Veuve Clicquot style, with Pinot Noir traditionally providing much of the structure and character of the house's wines. Rich takes that established expertise in a deliberately contemporary direction, creating a Champagne intended for a less formal and more playful style of drinking.
Winemaking: Veuve Clicquot Rich is blended from 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Meunier and 20% Chardonnay, with reserve wines accounting for approximately 40–45% of the blend. Pinot Noir provides structure, Meunier contributes roundness and fruit, while Chardonnay brings freshness and lift.
A dosage of 55 g/L gives Rich its distinctly sweeter, generous character. Rather than simply creating a sweeter version of a conventional Brut Champagne, the cuvée has been developed specifically to retain freshness and aromatic intensity when served extremely cold or over ice.
Vineyards: Rich brings together wines from approximately 50–60 crus across Champagne. This broad selection gives the winemaking team the components needed to maintain the recognisable Veuve Clicquot character while creating the particularly ripe, rounded and fruit-driven profile required for this distinctive cuvée.
Veuve Clicquot Rich is designed to be enjoyed extremely cold, ideally around 4°C, or served over a large ice cube. This makes it particularly well suited to warm-weather drinking, parties and relaxed celebrations where a traditional Champagne serve may feel too formal.
Its ripe fruit and sweetness pair particularly well with mango, pineapple and other fresh fruits, but Rich can also accompany sweet-and-savoury dishes and mildly spicy food. Try it with vegetable curry, Asian-inspired dishes or dishes combining fruit with gentle spice.
