Veuve Clicquot

Pinot Noir The Pinot Noir predominance in our blend is a true signature which reveals the strength of our wines. Reserve Wines Each non vintage champagne contains 20 to 40% of reserve wines, aged up to 20 years for more intensity. Terroir The freshness of our wines comes from the purity of our soil and the specific climate in Champagne. Ageing The ageing of our wines in our cellars called "Crayères" gives our champagnes their silkiness.

Founded in Reims in 1772, the House of Veuve Clicquot remains true to its motto: “Only one quality, the finest.” In 1805, Madame Clicquot took the reins of the House and became one of the first businesswomen of modern times, acquiring the epithet “la grande dame of  Champagne.” Her visionary spirit and innate sense of French “art de vivre” live on today. Her iconic cuvée, Brut Carte Jaune, is synonymous with more than two centuries of know-how and an exceptional heritage. The colour of the sun, it symbolizes the values of audacity and optimism that the House has carried for 250 years.
