A Champagne that perfectly encapsulates the style of Veuve Clicquot.
THE MAISON
It all began in 1772 when Philippe Clicquot, a businessman and landowner, founded "un négoce de vin à l’enseigne Clicquot." A small operation that aspired to cross borders to introduce the new name of Champagne to the whole world. In 1798, François Clicquot, the son of the Maison's founder, married Barbe Nicole Ponsardin. It would be she who, after inheriting all the passion and expertise for the production and marketing of Champagne from her husband, would manage to grow the business into one of the most famous and renowned Maisons not only in the Reims area but in the entire Champagne region. Barbe Nicole Ponsardin, in fact, became a widow at just twenty-seven, and after her husband's death, she took firm control of the company, becoming one of the first great female entrepreneurs in modern history, known to all as the “widow Clicquot,” or “Veuve Clicquot,” from which the name of the Maison itself derives.
Under the guidance of the young widow, several insights benefited the entire denomination. From the first vintage Champagne, that of 1810, to the perfection of the remuage technique, and the development of the liqueur de tirage used for the second fermentation in the bottle, there is no aspect she did not personally oversee.
Not to mention her great commercial skill, through which Barbe Nicole Ponsardin managed in 1814 to overcome the continental blockade that immobilized Europe in trade exchanges, bringing her Champagne directly to Russia, to St Petersburg, with what is now known as the “cuvée Saint Petersbourg.”
In short, a story of excellence that continues today, under the auspices of the luxury group LVMH, which has owned the Maison since 1986, thanks to Champagne with a unique personality, always recognizable in their immediate elegance and extraordinary refinement.
