Winemaker Notes
"The champagne is composed of 50% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier, and 30% Chardonnay. The predominance of Pinot Noir provides structure, while Meunier rounds out the blend and Chardonnay adds elegance and finesse. Up to 45% of the blend consists of reserve wines, which are aged up to 30 years. This ensures consistency and quality across vintages
About Winery
Veuve Clicquot, now one of the largest Champagne Houses, was founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot under the label "Clicquot". After establishing the brand throughout Europe, Russia and the United States, Philippe was joined by his son, François Clicquot, at the head of the House in 1798. Seven years later, following his untimely death, François’ young widow, Barbe Ponsardin, took over the family business at just 27 years old. The House would subsequently be renamed in her honor: ‘Veuve Clicquot’ means ‘The Widow Clicquot.’
