About the winery · Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin ›

Veuve Clicquot is a historic Champagne house founded in 1772. Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin took charge of the family business as a young widow and became one of Champagne's defining figures. The house credits Madame Clicquot with major Champagne innovations, including the first known vintage Champagne, the riddling table and the first known blended rose Champagne. Veuve Clicquot emphasizes a house style built around strength, complexity and consistent quality.
