Founded in 1772, the Veuve Clicquot house is a global benchmark in the world of champagne. Based in Reims, it owes its fame to the visionary audacity of Madame Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin, known as Veuve Clicquot. A pioneer of innovation, she notably invented the riddling table, revolutionizing champagne production. Veuve Clicquot’s style is characterized by its perfect balance of power and finesse, with a predominance of Pinot Noir in its blends.
The Veuve Clicquot house was founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot-Muiron, who aimed to develop an export business for wines, particularly champagne. However, it was his daughter-in-law, Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin, who, widowed at just 27, took over the business in 1805.
Under her leadership, the house experienced remarkable growth thanks to her innovative spirit. She invented the riddling table, a process that clarifies wines and produces crystal-clear champagnes. Veuve Clicquot was also among the first houses to export its champagnes across Europe, especially to Russia, where it gained favor with royal courts.
