✨ wine.spec_sheet
Founded in 1772, Veuve Clicquot is defined by the legacy of Madame Clicquot, the 'Grande Dame of Champagne,' who took over the house at just 27 and revolutionized the region by inventing the riddling table to clarify sparkling wine. The house style is anchored by Pinot Noir, which provides structure and strength, complemented by Chardonnay for elegance and Meunier for roundness. Sourced from premier and grand cru vineyards across the chalky soils of Champagne, this wine incorporates a high proportion of reserve wines to maintain its signature complexity, rich toastiness, and vibrant yellow-fruit character year after year.
