[ THE ART OF WINE ]

 

Veuve Clicquot has celebrated its first 250 years and is celebrating it by touring the world with its characteristic good taste, positivity and great attention to talented women. As the creators of the works 

 

THE GRANDE DAME DE LA CHAMPAGNE

Barbe-Nicole Ponsardine was one of the first female entrepreneurs in Europe at a time when women played no role in the business world. Widowed and only 27 years old, Madame Clicquot took the reins of the Maison and determinedly led the champagne production house, breaking the barriers for women of her time, and revolutionizing the world of Champagne.

Champagne is a legendary wine, the entire history of the Maison Veuve Clicquot is characterized by mythical wines. Madame Clicquot who, intrigued by the quality of the wine, perfected new production techniques, inventing the first Millésimé in 1810, the 'remuage' table in 1816 to purify the champagne from sediment and the first ever rosé champagne in 1818.

"Our wines must flatter the palate as well as the eye," says Madame Clicquot, convinced that appearance is as important as taste. Therefore, attention to design care and aesthetics have always been in Veuve Clicquot's DNA since its founding, a lesson that remains the cultural heritage of Veuve Clicquot, a house that has won several awards for its creative and innovative design over the years.
