More about this product
Veuve Clicquot
It was founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot, from a family of bankers and textile merchants who owned vineyards and decided to start producing champagne. Venice is the destination of his first shipment of champagne. In 1805, Madame Clicquot took over the business after their son, Francois Clicquot, died prematurely. She is only 27 years old, but she became one of the first business women of today. Five years later, she proved her innovative strength by creating the first vintage champagne ever made. Her business acumen continued to guide her and in 1814 overcame the continental blockade and delivered 10,550 bottles to St. Petersburg, Russia. Her champagne received a triumphant welcome and was sung by Pushkin, Chekhov and Gogol. 1818 marks the creation of the first "Rosé d'assemblage" - for the first time the tradition of adding elderberry-based colorant has been broken - instead Madame Clicquot blends some of her bouzy red wines with her champagne. The trademark "V.Clicquot P. Werlé" with a yellow label was registered on February 12, 1877. To this day, Veuve Clicquot dresses its bottles in a yellow label, an unusual color for the time. In 1972, to celebrate its 200th anniversary, the House launched its prestigious La Grande Dame cuvette vintage and created the Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award, in honor of Madame Clicquot's entrepreneurial spirit. In 1986 Louis Vuitton acquired Veuve Clicquot, and LVMH (Moët-Hennessy - Louis Vuitton) was founded the following year.
