About Veuve Clicquot
Veuve Clicquot was founded in 1772 in Reims, France, by Philippe Clicquot. The house rose to global prominence under Madame Clicquot Ponsardin, who took over after the death of her husband François in 1805. Widely regarded as the first businesswoman of the modern era, Madame Clicquot invented the riddling table, a process still used in Champagne production today, and produced the world's first rosé Champagne in 1818.
The Signature Yellow Label
The bold yellow-orange Yellow Label was introduced in 1877 and remains one of the most recognizable wine labels in the world. It represents Veuve Clicquot's signature Brut blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay, sourced from over 50 cru vineyards across the Champagne region.
