Clicquot In The Snow: A weekend of champagne and snow in Courmayeur with Veuve Clicquot

It started snowing really late in Italy this winter, and it has been like this for the past years. If you don't believe in climate change just talk to the tourism office anywhere in northern Italy. They'll explain, how the ski slopes resemble more to the green fields in the Heidi cartoon movie. But fortunately, I was lucky when visiting the QC Terme in Courmayeur as it had snowed previously. I found myself in a beautiful all white scenery ready to for a weekend of celebrations with Veuve Clicquot.  

If you check your Instagram feed you must have bumped into people celebrating on the snow while sipping the yellow label champagne. This is because #ClicquotInTheSnow is being celebrated all over the World right now, at least in the places where it is snowing.

The first celebration happened while tasting the new Veuve Clicquot Rich Rose. This new version of the Clicquot Rich that I got to know in Reims while visiting the Veuve Clicquot Maison. With this version of champagne for mixology the recommended mix must include lime, pineapple or Earl Grey tea. The Veuve Clicquot Rich Rose is aged a minimum of 3 years before release.

Veuve Clicquot Tasting Dinner

During the champagne tasting dinner, I also learned about the Rich Reserve Champagne that is released as a vintage wine.

Clicquot In The Snow

Finally, we visited the slopes but didn't ski because a snow storm was coming. So we ended up at the Super G mountain lodge for lunch and a Veuve Clicquot based party.

The hard life of a champagne ambassador requires watching a polo match that you had to google before knowing how many players are there in the field, and what the rules are. For me this was a first, and now I get all the excitement of horse sports and events. You get to dress up, have a luxurious picnic on the grass, sip champagne while following the game and understanding that Nacho Figueras is the man of polo.

Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic

The polo event is on its 9th year with more than 8000 people in attendance at Liberty State Park with stunning views of Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty as the event's backdrop. Guests lounged on white couches under orange Veuve Cliquot umbrellas and champagne flowed freely with it also some delicious finger food. For me it was an opportunity to meet again with some old friends from last's year long weekend in Reis discovering the house of Veuve Clicquot, and also to make some new ones as in 2016 new countries were added to the ambassadorship program.

One of the best moments of the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic is the  time-honored tradition of divot stomping.  During the polo game running horses tear up the ground and during the half-time the crowd is invited to help stomp the pieces of grass and soil back into the ground.  A moment that is celebrated by everyone as you feel like taking an active part in the game itself. It is also a moment of socialization as after the work is done, you stay on the field to chat with the people around you.
