In its medium salmon guise, this is \u003cspan\u003ean elegant, refined and pretty rosé, in an appealingly fruit-focused style of vibrant strawberries, red cherries and red apple. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePinot noir takes a confident lead in a fleshy and full mid-palate which coasts into a long finish of accurate line. The brioche, nougat and roast almond of lees maturity \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eare more prominent in the 2012 base than usual, beautifully supporting its fruit presence. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTannins are impeccably handled, leaving lively acidity to define the structure, uninterrupted by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewell-integrated dosage. The 2012 base represents a particularly distinguished Clicquot Rosé.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTyson Stelzer - The Champagne Guide 2018-2019\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the house\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArguably, the most recognisable champagne brand in the world. The yellow adorned on their labels – looks orange but is in fact the colour of the great Madame Clicquots’ favourite duck egg yolk. An established and major segment of the Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy stable, Monsieur Dominique Demarville, is only the 10\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e cellar master in 240 years at the great house. The non-vintage Clicquot has been a dinner party staple for many a year and brings with it an approachable style that has a dominance of pinot noir and meunier with a large proportion of reserve wines. Look out for the non-vintage rosé, which is identical in production to its NV brother but with the addition of 12% red wine from some of the best grand cru sites; Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzy and Verzenay. The rosé has been flying under the radar for too long and deserves your attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a summertime soiree wine which will wow your guests. Serve at your fabulous party with canapés. For something unique and sophisticated try a fig halved and topped with some prosciutto ham, mascarpone cheese and a dollop of strawberry puree. \u003c\/p\u003e"}
