They call it Clicquology.
Veuve Clicquot have brought a cocktail spirit to a Champagne House already known for audacity and innovation, Veuve Clicquot RICH is a new champagne dedicated to mixology. RICH invites you to experiment according to your own tastes and customize your champagne.
In the history of Champagne, wines that were blended for greater sweetness were customarily described as “rich”. Even the 1840s bottles of Veuve Clicquot found recently in the Aland Islands have over 150 grams per litre of sugar. Today Veuve Clicquot propels this tradition into the contemporary era with RICH, a champagne dedicated to mixology.
Veuve Clicquot RICH was created expressly to be combined with a selection of ingredients allowing the signature notes of the wine to be magnified by the presence of these ingredients: pineapple, grapefruit zest, cucumber, celery, peppers or tea, all on the rocks.
So what is the perfect serve? It is simple, and Veuve Clicquot have some great short videos to demonstrate Clicquology.
