Description

The house was founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot-Muiron. However it was his son`s widow, Mme Nicole-Barbe Ponsardin, who established the company as a supplier to the royal courts. The modern-day Maison is known for quality, with 390 hectares of which 95% are classified as Grands or Premier Crus. Since its foundation, the Maison of Veuve Clicquot has also established a strong partnership with its fellow winegrowers in Champagne, whose grapes help ensure the consistent quality of Veuve Clicquot wines.

The blend includes 30-45% reserve wines with grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different crus. The Pinot Noir predominance provides the structure that is so typically Veuve Clicquot, while Chardonnay adds the elegance and finesse essential in a perfectly balanced wine, and a touch of Meunier rounds out the blend. It has a fine, lively mousse, and silkiness from the 3 years ageing in Crayères. A perfect balance of intensity and freshness creates a pleasant nose and palate of apples and pears with vanilla and toasty brioche from oak ageing.

Producer: Veuve Clicquot
