On Tuesday, Veuve Clicquot revealed two new cuvées set to hit U.S. shelves early this fall: RICH and RICH Rosé. Both sparkling wines, each containing 55 grams of sugar per liter, are classified as sweet Champagnes and are designed to be enjoyed chilled or over ice.
The cuvées’ names pay homage to the Maison’s traditional way of distinguishing its sweet Champagne. Starting as early as 1877, Veuve Clicquot has labeled its bottles of sweeter bubbly as “rich” to distinguish them from the brand’s non-vintage yellow label Brut, which is currently made with 9 grams of sugar per liter.
