✨ Technical Specifications
This rare, commemorative cuvée was specially released by Veuve Clicquot to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 1977. Based on the exceptional 1970 vintage, this bottling highlights the historic house's long-standing relationship with the British Royal Family, who have honored Veuve Clicquot with a Royal Warrant since the 19th century. Built upon the house's signature Pinot Noir dominance from Grand and Premier Cru vineyards, balanced with Chardonnay, the wine underwent extended aging in the ancient chalk crayères of Reims. It stands as a legendary piece of Champagne history, offering a complex profile of toasted brioche, candied ginger, and preserved stone fruits.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot, Maison Veuve Clicquot attained legendary status under the stewardship of Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin, who was widowed in 1805. Madame Clicquot pioneered landmark innovations, creating the first recorded vintage Champagne in 1810, developing the riddling table (pupitre) in 1816, and formulating the modern blended rosé Champagne method in 1818. Today owned by LVMH, the house oversees roughly 390 hectares of estate vineyards—dominated by Grand and Premier Cru parcels across the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, and Vallée de la Marne—all certified under Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE 3) and Viticulture Durable en Champagne (VDC). Under Cellar Master Didier Mariotti, the winemaking philosophy remains anchored in Pinot Noir, imparting structure, breadth, and vinous intensity. Masterful reserve-wine blending and extended maturation inside Reims' UNESCO-listed Gallo-Roman chalk crayères define benchmark cuvées such as Yellow Label Brut, Extra Brut Extra Old, and the prestigious vintage cuvée, La Grande Dame.
