Champagne Veuve Clicquot

In 1805, Madame Barbe-Nicole Clicquot became head of the family Champagne House following the untimely death of her husband Philippe Clicquot. Now a widow, this strong-willed businesswoman transcended the codes of her time to become one of the greatest figures in the history of champagne. The Champagne House was later renamed Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin.

In 1772, Philippe Clicquot founded a Champagne wine merchant with the ambition of taking his wines beyond France’s borders. Over the decades, Maison Clicquot has established itself as the epitome of French refinement and art de vivre. Its long tradition of expertise and excellence makes it a key reference in the world of champagne.

That’s right, Champmarket offers you the chance to add a personalized note to your order, free of charge. All you have to do is write the message you want at the delivery address validation stage, just before proceeding to payment.

To make a lasting impression without offering a prestige cuvée, the Carte Jaune, Rosé or Vintage cuvées will delight your guests. If the occasion is exceptional, La cuvée la Grande Dame, a prestgie wine paying tribute to Madame Clicquot and pinot noir, is sure to leave a lasting impression on your guests.

A bottle of champagne usually serves 6 or 7 glasses, but does not allow guests to refill their glasses. For a reception for 12 people, we recommend 3 bottles of Veuve Clicquot Brut Carte Jaune or Rosé, for example. If the reception is a Champagne dinner, you’ll need to plan for about one bottle per person, so that you can serve glasses from the aperitif through to dessert.

The ideal temperature for tasting Veuve Clicquot Champagne is between 8 and 10 degrees. A temperature that allows the champagne to express all its aromatic nuances, subtly fruity and floral.

The Veuve Clicquot vineyard gives pride of place to the Pinot Noir grape variety, which is present in the majority of our cuvées. The predominance of Pinot Noir gives the wines the emblematic structure of Veuve Clicquot champagnes, while Chardonnay adds the elegance and finesse of a perfectly balanced wine.

The primary difference between Champagne Veuve Clicquot Brut and Rosé lies in the Champagne’s color: the former reveals a golden yellow hue, while the latter offers a sumptuous coppery-orange hue. In terms of taste and aroma, the Brut carte jaune is a great Champagne wine, powerful and structured, ideal for the aperitif, while the Rosé is a fresh, structured, gourmet Champagne that goes perfectly with fish.
