This is the 200th year since Madame Clicquot became the first to create a blended rosé from her finest Bouzy reds and her classic champagne. If the aromas of cranberry bagel, rising dough and cashew don’t woo you, then the long, generously-tempered mouthfeel, pinprick effervescence, creamy mousse and subtle raspberry notes on the finish will have your jaw on the floor for sure. In their seventh year of sponsorship of the NZ Polo Open (Sunday Feb 18, Clevedon), Clicquot is also introducing a ‘Colourama’ Marquee which will debut fantastic fusion of art, interactive elements, food and of course champagne, all brought to life by creative Kiwi women Karla Goodwin of Bluebells cakery, potter Yon Kavas and artist Jen Sievers.
