The Champagne Brut Rosé “La Grande Dame Rosé 2015 x Paola Paronetto” - Veuve Clicquot is a prestige cuvée that embodies the best of Champagne art.

Vintage Details
The 2015 vintage in Champagne was marked by a warm and sunny climate, with a stable summer that ensured ripe and concentrated grapes. The high temperatures and scarce rainfall favored an early and perfectly balanced harvest, giving the wine a decisive structure and a deep aromatic profile.

How to best open and serve Champagne Brut Rosé “La Grande Dame Rosé 2015 x Paola Paronetto” - Veuve Clicquot
1. Bottle Positioning
Before opening the Champagne Brut Rosé “La Grande Dame Rosé 2015 x Paola Paronetto” - Veuve Clicquot, position the bottle horizontally or slightly tilted, in a cool place away from light or heat sources. If possible, let the bottle rest for a few hours so that any sediment settles at the bottom.
2. Ideal Serving Temperature
The serving temperature is crucial to enhance the complex aromas of this vintage Rosé Champagne. Chill the bottle to a temperature between 8°C and 10°C. Avoid the freezer; it is preferable to use an ice bucket with ice and water for about 20-30 minutes.
3. Opening the Bottle
Gently remove the foil, always keeping one hand on the cork. Loosen the wire cage without removing it completely. Hold the bottle tilted at approximately 45° and slowly rotate it at the base, keeping the cork still. Allow the gas to escape without an explosive sound, achieving a controlled and safe opening, ideal for preserving the fineness of the bubbles.
4. Inspection and First Taste
After opening, observe the color and perlage in the glass: a Champagne Brut Rosé “La Grande Dame Rosé 2015 x Paola Paronetto” - Veuve Clicquot exhibits coppery tones and a subtle, persistent effervescence. On the nose, you should perceive aromas of ripe red fruits, citrus, and floral notes. A first sip serves to assess its vibrancy, freshness, and harmony.
5. Decanting and Oxygenation
Although sparkling wines are rarely decanted, a vintage Champagne like this can benefit from a brief period of oxygenation. Gently pour the first part into a large glass or a Champagne decanter, allowing the wine to breathe for a few minutes. This allows the complex and tertiary aromas, developed through aging, to fully express themselves.
6. Serving
Use tulip or slightly flared glasses, which best allow the aromatic bouquet to be appreciated. Serve small quantities to maintain a constant temperature. Ideal as an accompaniment to high gastronomy dishes, such as:
- Tuna or salmon tartare
- Foie gras or shellfish
- Creamy risottos with seafood
- Aged and delicately blue cheeses

7. Storage after Opening
If not finished, re-seal the bottle with a specific Champagne stopper, capable of maintaining internal pressure. Store it in the refrigerator, in an upright position, and consume it within 24-48 hours to avoid losing the freshness of the bubbles and the fineness of the aromas. Avoid agitation or sudden temperature changes, which could alter the quality of this extraordinary Rosé Champagne.
