The champagne house was founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot, a fabric merchant in Reims. When his son, François Clicquot, died suddenly in 1805, François’s 27-year-old widow, Barbe Nicole Ponsardin Clicquot, took over the company – no small feat for this bold and audacious 19th-century woman. At a time when women had few rights, this young woman was determined “to depend on no one”. Driven by her uncompromising vision and her inventive spirit, Madame Clicquot created the first known vintage champagne in 1810. A few years later, in 1816, she developed the riddling table, and in 1818 produced the first known blended rosé champagne.
Veuve Clicquot is defined by its quest for excellence, love of the finest grape variety Pinot Noir, and mastery of the art of ageing.
From harvest to shipment, and at every step of the process, Veuve Clicquot is mindful of Madame Clicquot’s words: “Our wines must be flattering both to the palate and to the eye.”
She left the House with a legacy of optimism, and striving for excellence, audacity and innovation, which continues to inspire us today.
"Full and deliciously fruity, with intense flavours of ripe, juicy strawberries and cherries, Veuve Clicquot Rosé is an expression of the brilliant and daring spirit of Madame Clicquot. In 1818, Madame Clicquot created the first rosé champagne by adding red wine to white champagne. Over the following centuries, it was perfected into the naturally original rosé it is today."

"The third blend of the Extra Brut Extra Old is composed of eight of the house's most prestigious reserve wines from the following vintages: 1990, 1998, 1999, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2013 and 2014. Each vintage brings its own unique qualities and flavours; together they offer an incomparable complexity and depth. The Extra Brut cuvée illustrates a drier, more experimental style: the expression of champagne in its purest form. With less dosage, it reveals all the natural flavours and aromas of its blend."
