Veuve Clicquot
Veuve Clicquot was founded in Reims in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot. The house was transformed in 1805 when Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin took over after the death of her husband, François Clicquot, becoming one of the most important figures in Champagne history. Under Madame Clicquot, the house introduced the first known vintage Champagne in 1810, developed the riddling table in 1816, and produced the first known blended rosé Champagne in 1818.
