The wine

Named in honour of Madame Clicquot herself, this is the House’s prestigious cuvée that was first released in 1977 with the 1969 vintage, in commemoration of the company’s bicentenary year. Only produced in exceptional Champagne vintages and in limited amounts, the 1998 is highly acclaimed and has great potential for further ageing. Two-thirds Pinot Noir and one-third Chardonnay, the grapes are blended from eight Grand Crus vineyards situated in some of the most emblematic locations of the region: Ay, Bouzy, Verzenay, Verzy, Ambonnay, Avize, Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger.

Veuve Clicquot

Veuve Clicquot

Known as "La Grande Dame de la Champagne", Barbe Nicole Ponsardin, Madame Clicquot, raised the prestige of her winery to the highest echelons under the name of Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin. She was the wife of Philippe Clicquot-Muiron, but when she was widowed in 1805 at the age of 27, Madame Clicquot took up the reins of the family business and became its driving force, remaining true to her maxim "Only one quality, the finest".
