A Visionary and Bold History
Founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot, Maison Veuve Clicquot owes its worldwide fame to an extraordinary woman: Madame Clicquot. Widowed at just 27 years old, Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin took over the house in 1805 and transformed it into a global icon. Known as “the grande dame of Champagne,” she revolutionized the industry by creating the first vintage Champagne in 1810 and inventing the riddling table in 1816, a technique that enhanced wine clarity. Her audacity and vision established Veuve Clicquot as a symbol of excellence and innovation.
An Exceptional Vineyard
Veuve Clicquot owns 390 hectares of vineyards, spread across 12 of Champagne’s 17 Grands Crus and 20 of its 44 Premiers Crus. This extensive terroir diversity enables the house to craft wines of great complexity. Pinot Noir, the signature grape of Veuve Clicquot, brings structure and intensity, while Chardonnay adds finesse, and Meunier contributes roundness and balance.
Iconic Cuvées
The Yellow Label Brut is the house’s most recognizable Champagne, with its signature bright yellow label. This cuvée perfectly balances freshness and complexity, revealing aromas of white fruits, citrus, and a delicate hint of brioche. Among the prestige cuvées, La Grande Dame, a tribute to Madame Clicquot, showcases the finest Grands Crus Pinot Noir, delivering elegance and depth.
Innovation and Modernity
True to its pioneering spirit, Veuve Clicquot introduced the RICH cuvée, designed for an unconventional tasting experience—served over ice and paired with fresh ingredients like ginger, cucumber, or pineapple. This bold approach reinvents Champagne enjoyment, appealing to a new generation of wine lovers. The house also embraces sustainability, gradually transitioning its vineyards toward more environmentally friendly viticulture.
A Legacy of Excellence with Global Influence
With over 250 years of history, Veuve Clicquot remains an essential reference in the world of Champagne. Its dedication to quality and innovation endures, guided by Madame Clicquot’s famous motto: “Only one quality, the very first.” Present on the finest tables worldwide, the house continues to craft timeless, elegant Champagnes, ensuring its legacy remains as vibrant as ever.
