Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut Rose Vintage 2015
Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut Rose Vintage 2015
Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut Rosé Vintage 2015 is a bold and refined expression of the Maison’s historic expertise in crafting vintage and rosé cuvées. A tribute to Madame Clicquot’s pioneering spirit—who created the world’s first vintage champagne in 1810—this 67th declared vintage reflects the character of an exceptional harvest. The blend is driven by 50% Pinot Noir from Grand and Premier Cru vineyards, delivering structure and intensity, complemented by 30% Chardonnay for finesse and tension, and 20% Meunier for roundness. A precise addition of 13% still red Pinot Noir from Bouzy gives the wine its vivid color and depth of fruit. With 11% of the wines aged in large oak casks, Vintage Rosé 2015 gains a layered complexity and distinctive spicy, roasted notes. This is a champagne of sophistication, energy, and gastronomic versatility.

Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is a bottle for the person who treats a meal as an occasion. The 2015 vintage pours a deep rose with copper glints and a fine mousse, then opens on wild strawberry, raspberry and orange blossom before brioche, almond and a touch of saffron arrive. On the palate it is powerful and generous, with ripe strawberry, Morello cherry, apricot and dried dates carried by silky tannins, while a small share of oak-aged wine adds pepper and toasted notes. That structure makes it a thoughtful choice for an anniversary, a milestone birthday, a promotion or a romantic dinner. It is also a natural gift for a host who loves to cook, since it stands up to duck, lamb and saffron-laced seafood. Because the house frames it as a vintage to enjoy now or cellar for greater depth, it also suits the collector who likes to mark a year in their glass. Pour it slightly cool in a wide tulip glass and let it open.
Pairs well with
- Duck breast with cherry jus — The wine's Morello cherry and ripe strawberry flavors echo the sauce, while its silky tannins hold up to the richness of the duck.
- Scallops with saffron beurre blanc — The saffron and almond notes from the oak-aged portion meet the sauce, and the citrus lift keeps the butter in check.
- Anniversary or romantic dinner gift — Its deep rose color, red-berry fruit and long, elegant finish make it a celebratory centerpiece for a meaningful evening for two.
