With her audacious vision of color, taste and aroma, Madame Clicquot created the first known blended rosé champagne in 1818. In 2018 Veuve Clicquot celebrates the 200th anniversary of Veuve Clicquot Rosé, a perfect expression of traditional savoir-faire.

In 1818 Madame Clicquot decided to blend her own red wine with her still white wines, introducing a new method for making rosé champagne. Once colored by a mixture made from elderberries, rosé champagne is now crafted by blending several wines. Crafted using 50 to 60 different crus, the Veuve Clicquot Brut Carte Jaune cuvée is based on the traditional blend and includes reserve wines. After blending, the wine is bottled and cellared for three years. By creating a new method for rosé champagne, Madame Clicquot ushered in intense flavors and an elegant coppery color.
