In 1772, Philippe Clicquot, from a family of bankers and textile merchants, already owns vinyards and decides to establish a wine business. From the very beginning, the House states its ambition of "crossing borders". In 1805, François Clicquot, the founder's son, dies, his widow is 27. It takes her only a few weeks to come to a decision. She becomes one of the first businesswomen of modern times. The ‘V.Clicquot P. Werlé’ Yellow label trademark is registered on 12 February 1877. Customers demand this distinctive, original label, which was to become one of the main distinguishing features of bottles produced by the House. This label is still in use today.

Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame (UNBOXED) 2018
12.5% abv
Vol- 75cl
Prestige cuvee from Veuve Clicquot. A hommage to Madame Cliquot, known in her lifetime as the Grande Dame de la Champagne
“The 2018 La Grande Dame is a very pretty wine that shows the contemporary style that is prevalent here these days. Floral overtones lift a core of citrus fruit, while marzipan, anise, mint, dried pear and spice open with a bit of coaxing. The 2018 is a delicate Grand Dame, as most Champagnes are in a vintage in which yields were exceptionally high. I especially admire the finesse here. Disgorged: September 2024.” 2026 – 2048
