Champagne Heidsieck & Co. Monopole "Blue Top" Brut...
Homage to the historic region of Reims, in the heart of Champagne. We are talking about Monopole Blu Top, proposed here by Heidsieck. It originates in Reims, located in the Champagne-Ardenne region, an area famous for its unique terroir, characterised by chalky soils that allow the roots of the vines to penetrate deeply, giving the wines minerality and freshness. The climate, on the other hand, is continental with oceanic influences, ideal for the slow ripening of the grapes, guaranteeing perfect acidity and great aromatic complexity. Champagne Monopole Blu Top is a blend of the region's three classic grape varieties: 70% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Meunier. Produced (of course) according to the Champenoise method, this champagne matures in contact with the yeasts in the bottle for a full 36 months. This long period of maturation gives it complexity and depth, with notes of toast, butter and spices. The dosage is Brut, thus maintaining a perfect balance between acidity and...

Moet & Chandon holds the charm of Champagne history. There is virtually no corner of the world where the brand is not known and appreciated.

Veuve Clicquot Champagne "Cuvée Saint...
The name Cuvée Saint-Petersbourg evokes a famous episode in the life of Madame Clicquot, who in 1814, despite the blockade that immobilized trade in Europe, managed to export bottles of Champagne to Russia, making them arrive safe and sound at the court of St. Petersburg. It was a memorable success and this event consecrated the fortune of the maison within the rich Russian nobility. Veuve Clicquot's Brut Saint-Petersbourg comes from the same blend as the ever-pleasing Yellow Label, the company's most iconic Champagne. Pinot Noir in the majority, with a judicious addition of Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. The result is a Champagne of beautiful complexity that rests on the lees for about 48 months before disgorgement and put on the market. Notes of vanilla, pastry and bread crust well marked on the nose, great finesse and balance in the mouth.
Champagne Veuve Clicquot Rosé - Country: Italy -...
The story goes that it was Madame Clicquot who created the first Rosé champagne by blending in history. It was 1818 and "the widow" added a percentage of red wine to her Brut. The result was this Veuve Clicquot Rosé, pleasant and fruity, typical of the house's style, the child of blending some 50-60 different crus. The body of the Cuvée is based on the traditional style of Brut Yellow Label, consisting of 44-48% Pinot Noir, 13-18% Meunier and 25-29% Chardonnay. In addition, the blend includes a particularly high percentage of reserve wines from numerous vintages, guaranteeing the consistency of the Maison's style. These wines, some with more than 9 years of aging, are stored individually, respecting the origin of the crus and the vintages of production. The delicate and unmistakable color is guaranteed, today as in its origins, by the addition of a small percentage, about 12 percent, of red wines from different areas and selected to give the rosé a perfect balance. A coppery orange...
Champagne Veuve Clicquot "Rich" Rosé Demi-Sec -...
Maison Veuve Clicquot, renowned for its bold and innovative spirit, has always sought to push the boundaries of tradition. And a few years ago, it introduced another revolutionary creation, the Veuve Clicquot Rich Rosé, a cuvée designed specifically for mixology.

This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature to preserve freshness and varietal characteristics. Then the base wines are blended, the 'liqueur de dosage' is added, and the second fermentation is carried out in the bottle. This is...

For those seeking in every way to stand out, this is the right Champagne to choose. Without a doubt. Ice Impérial, in fact, is the first Champagne created specifically to be served with ice, that is, "on the rocks." A small heresy for the most staunch upholders of tradition. But also a new experience that encompasses fun, freshness and freedom for Moët & Chandon's indefatigable anti-conformists who, from the height of its long history, can afford to let their imaginations run wild. From a blend that includes mostly Pinot Noir, vinous and edgy, and characterized by an intensely fruity flavor, with Meunier, full and fleshy, and Chardonnay, used in a proportion of between 10 and 20 percent for its refreshing touch. The dosage in this case is definitely important, touching 45 grams of sugar per liter, resulting in a deliciously smooth and drinkable wine, especially suitable for consumption away from the table. After all, this is Champagne born for the party.
