NV Veuve Clicquot 'Yellow Label' Brut Champagne
Crafted from a symphony of 50-60 crus, Veuve Cliquot's cuvee marries the strength of Pinot Noir, the freshness of Chardonnay, and the fruit of Meunier. Founded in 1772 by a visionary woman, Barbe Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin, this Champagne house embodies innovation and excellence. Indulge in the legacy of fine winemaking, where each sip tells a tale of tradition and quality.
The world-renowned Champagne house Veuve Clicquot was founded in 1772 by the son of a well-to-do French banking family. Ironically though, it was not Philippe, nor his son François whom would make theirs a household name, but François' widow [Veuve] Barbe Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin. At the tender young age of 27 (in 1805) she became one of the first business women in modern times. She would prove to be a great asset to the world of winemaking; marketing and selling wines as far as Russia, inventing the first riddling table to make her wines crystal clear and setting the tone of innovation at the house of Clicquot that prevails today. Honoring their motto, "Only one quality, the finest" they've employed a short lineage of merely 10 Cellar Masters through the ages in their quest to maintain the utmost quality and a style that is uniquely Clicquot.
