Champagne Veuve Clicquot
Already a vineyard owner, Philippe Clicquot founded the eponymous wine trading company in 1772. His goal was already to sell beyond the country's borders. His son François joined him in 1798.
When François died in 1805, his widow, Barbe Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin, decided to take over the family business, becoming one of the first female entrepreneurs in modern history. A visionary and innovator, she Veuve Clicquot produced the first known vintage in Champagne in 1810. She also invented the riddling rack, a tool that is still used today.
Until 1877, bottles were recognizable by a seal affixed to the cork. The yellow Veuve Clicquot Ponsardinlabel then became a distinctive feature of the Champagne house.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Veuve Clicquot Ponsardinimplemented new production techniques and improved the quality of its vintages, thanks in particular to important discoveries in the field of oenology. The purchase of more than 400 chalk cellars around Reims contributed to improving the aging of the wines.
In 1986, Veuve Clicquot joined the LVMH group.
