Veuve Clicquot
Commonly known for its high quality and famous yellow-orange label, Maison Veuve Clicquot has never ceased to be daring since its founding in 1772, in the image of the woman who founded its fame.
She who was nicknamed the "Grande Dame of Champagne" will indeed have become one of the first businesswomen in history, but beyond that, she will have offered an international dimension to her Champagnes that she cherished so much.
What is the history of Maison Veuve Clicquot?
It was in 1772 that Philippe Clicquot founded his house of Champagne in Reims. He was succeeded by his son François, who married a certain Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin in 1798. When François died prematurely in 1805, Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin found herself at the head of the Champenoise house, and over time proved to be particularly gifted in business. She achieved the feat of maintaining an international distribution network, something very Rare for the time and a testament to her doggedness, and made her Champagnes known throughout Europe among the royal courts, including as far afield as that of the Tsars of Russia.
Success continued over the following centuries, and in 1987 Maison Veuve-Clicquot became part of the LVMH luxury goods group, making it the world's second best-selling Champagne. Veuve-Clicquot's Champagnes have thus never lost their timeless style and great finesse.
