Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin is a Champagne house founded in 1772 and headquartered in Reims. It belongs to the luxury group LVMH.
  
In 1772, Philippe Clicquot-Muiron founded a champagne house that would later become the Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin champagne house.
  
In 1775, the estate was the only one authorized to produce rosé champagne, and the champagne enjoyed growing success, not only in France but also throughout Europe.
  
Until 1798, the bottles bore no distinctive markings. Philippe Clicquot decided to mark the corks with an anchor, a symbol of hope and prosperity.
  
In 1796, Philippe Clicquot incorporated his son, François Marie, into his champagne house and married Barbe Nicole Ponsardin on June 10, 1798.
  
François died suddenly on October 23, 1805. Madame Clicquot was 27 years old at the time of his death. of her husband.
  
She thus took her destiny into her own hands, becoming one of the first modern entrepreneurs. At a time when women were excluded from business, she dared to take over the management of the company founded by her father-in-law in 1772, a position she carried out with passion and determination.
  
Her creativity and quest for innovation were at the origin of several firsts in Champagne: the first known vintage champagne, the invention of the riddling table, and the first known blended rosé champagne. Three innovations that revolutionized champagne making and were quickly adopted by producers, laying the foundations for modern champagne production.
  
Madame Clicquot made her name a hallmark of excellence and spread its influence throughout the world. Her remarkable contribution earned her the nickname "the Grande Dame of Champagne."
  
This champagne is Veuve Clicquot's signature. The Brut Carte Jaune is the expression of the style and quality of the House of Veuve Clicquot.
  
This cuvée is the result of a blend of grapes from 50 to 60 different vintages and is composed of up to 45% reserve wines.
  
Its extended aging, coupled with its special dosage liqueur, made from wines aged for 12 months in oak barrels, amplifies the aromatic intensity.
  
It reveals notes of white and yellow fruits (pear, apple, peach, etc.), citrus notes (mandarin, grapefruit), and finally aromas of pastries (brioche, croissant)."
