A contemporary expression of the French art of living, Veuve Clicquot Brut Carte Jaune Rosé Ice Jacket invites a sensory experience that is both free and refined. This non-vintage Champagne AOP draws its character from the blend of the Brut Carte Jaune, enhanced by a carefully measured proportion of still red wines that add intensity and ripe fruit depth. The House’s renowned spirit unfolds here with ease—combining precision and indulgence—in a clear reading of its style: lively structure, silky texture and a clean finish. Conceived as a portable case, the Ice Jacket accompanies the tasting with flair, preserving the bottle’s chill for a chic picnic, a terrace aperitif or any impromptu moment. At the table or during celebrations, this cuvée delivers reliable balance, an instantly recognisable signature and the promise of unreserved pleasure. Served between 8 and 10°C, it gently reveals citrus vivacity, bright red fruit notes and a brioche-like roundedness that reflects the precision of the Champagne blend. Contains sulfites.

Blend and winemaking

In keeping with Champagne tradition, this rosé cuvée results from a precise blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, to which is added a measured proportion of still red wines from selected terroirs. The base, inspired by the Brut Carte Jaune, gives the whole a straight framework and a sought-after aromatic consistency. The second fermentation in bottle, followed by ageing on the lees, refines the texture and smooths the effervescence. The rosé option, achieved by adding red wines chosen for their pure fruit expression and fine tannins, brings fruity nuances, a delicate breadth on the palate and a distinctive aromatic colour. The non-vintage result aims for a stable style year after year, offering an experience faithful to the expectations of the House’s enthusiasts.

Tasting notes

• Appearance: Clear brilliance and a fine bead of bubbles, a sign of precise and persistent effervescence.
• Nose: An expressive bouquet of crunchy red fruits, supported by citrus accents, a discreet floral hint and a subtle brioche echo.
• Palate: Fresh, direct attack; a broad mid-palate where the fruity thread interweaves with a delicate texture. Clean finish driven by a mouthwatering tension and a sense of purity.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve this Champagne between 8 and 10°C in tulip glasses to preserve its freshness and to open its bouquet correctly. Pre-chill the bottle in the refrigerator, then slide it into the Ice Jacket to extend its chill for about two hours outdoors. Let the wine open in the glass for a few moments to reveal its fruity palette and delicate pastry note. Simple care in service enhances the precision of the blend and the sparkle of the effervescence.
