This Veuve Clicquot Vintage Rosé marks the 66th edition since the house's first vintage in 1810. Despite challenging weather conditions, the 2012 vintage is a result of an exceptional harvest. It is vinified and matured in oak tanks, giving it a powerful and intensely aromatic profile with delicate notes of grilled spices, wood, and vanilla. It pairs beautifully with refined dishes like lobster and duck.
