Veuve Clicquot

About Veuve Clicquot

Veuve Clicquot is one of the most iconic and prestigious Champagne houses in the world. Founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot, the house gained its name and reputation through the extraordinary vision of Barbe-Nicole Clicquot, who took the reins after her husband’s death in 1805. Known as “La Veuve” (The Widow), she revolutionised Champagne production and established Veuve Clicquot as a symbol of quality, innovation, and elegance.

Under her leadership, Veuve Clicquot pioneered many of the techniques still used in Champagne today, including the riddling table and the creation of the first vintage-dated rosé Champagne. These innovations helped transform Champagne from a regional wine into a global luxury icon.

Today, Veuve Clicquot remains celebrated for its vibrant, full-bodied style — most notably embodied in its flagship Yellow Label Brut. With a commitment to both tradition and bold creativity, Veuve Clicquot continues to produce Champagnes that are as distinctive as they are luxurious, enjoyed around the world for celebrations and special moments.
