Veuve Clicquot Rich on Ice + 2 free glasses

Champagne on the rocks? Yes, absolutely – provided it’s been made specifically for that. RICH brings a wonderfully relaxed way of enjoying champagne to your glass and feels just as at home on the terrace as it does at a lively garden party. And because the right glass is essential, this set comes with two matching Sun Club glasses free of charge.

The nose immediately reveals plenty of exotic fruit. Ripe pineapple and mango meet juicy pear, lemongrass and fresh herbal notes. On the palate, the champagne is round, fruit-forward and deliberately balanced to be slightly sweeter. Thanks to the very cold serving temperature and the ice, it nevertheless remains wonderfully refreshing and uncomplicated.

The cuvée is based on 50 per cent Pinot Noir, 30 per cent Meunier and 20 per cent Chardonnay, complemented by a high proportion of reserve wines to achieve the house’s signature style. For the perfect serving ritual, the two Sun Club glasses included, each with a 56 cl capacity, are just right: fill the glass halfway, add a large ice cube – and you’re done. Alternatively, you can of course enjoy the champagne in the traditional way, without ice, at around four degrees.

This champagne pairs particularly well with mango, pineapple, spicy vegetable curries or dishes that combine sweet and savoury flavours. A complete set for anyone who likes to enjoy champagne in a more relaxed way – glasses included.
