Ros? by Piper Heidsieck from Champagne, France - regions. A lively, generous and intense wine. Its freshness is expressed by the slight tartness of red fruit, which then mellows with the aromas of macerated fruit and red plums. The final sensation is exuberant and warm. With no dosage, this is a very dry wine that has benefited from some good bottle aging. It is also darker in color than some roses, which gives the wine considerable body and richness. -Wine Enthusiast Very concentrated and vibrant, this Champagne delivers cherry, cranberry and spice notes on a broad swath of cashmerelike texture. The structure emerges on the finish, but it remains focused and balanced throughout. Drink now. -Wine Spectator

Ros? by Veuve Clicquot from Champagne, France - regions. Our non-vintage rose is the end result of a desire to create a rose champagne with a delightfully luscious, fruit-based charm. Jacques Peters, the cellarmaster, and his team wanted a champagne that would be accessible and naturally engaging while conserving Veuve Clicquot's essential values in terms of style. Made using 50 to 60 different crus, the cuvee is based on Brut Yellow Label's traditional blend: 50 to 55% Pinot Noir, 15 to 20% Pinot Meunier, and 28 to 33% Chardonnay. The blend includes a particularly high percentage (25-35%, sometimes 40%) of reserve wines originating from several harvests (usually 5 or 6), which ensures the consistency of the house style. The reserve wines, some of which are 9 years old, are kept separately depending on the origin of the crus and the years in which the wines were produced. This blend is completed with 12% of red wines using red grapes especially raised and selected to give a marvellous balance to this rose.
