Veuve Clicquot is based in Reims, specializing in premium products. Founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot-Muiron, Veuve Clicquot played an important role in establishing champagne as a favoured drink of haute bourgeoisie and nobility throughout Europe. The 1811 comet vintage of Veuve Clicquot is theorized to have been the first truly “modern” Champagne due to the advancements in the mthode champenoise which Veuve Clicquot pioneered through the technique of remuage.

Grapes from 50 – 60 different crus, or growing area, are used to produce Veuve Cliquot Brut Yellow Label Champagne.

50 to 55% Pinot Noir ensures the structure so typical of the House wines.

15 to 20% Pinot Meunier rounds out the blend.

28 to 33% Chardonnay provides the elegance and sophistication essential to a perfectly balanced wine.

A high proportion of priceless reserve wines (between 25% to 40%) ensures the continuity of the House style.
