Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Champagne house founded in 1772. Its headquarters are in Reims. It belongs to the luxury group LVMH. Its production is 8 million bottles. It looks like a brand model, very involved in the viticulture. In search of excellence and innovation, in 1816 Madame Clicquot invented the riddling table wines in order to obtain more clear and quality previously unmatched. His contemporaries nicknamed him soon, "the Grande Dame Champagne", a tribute to his courage and determination. Parcel by parcel, Madame Clicquot has a patrimony exceptional wine: 515 hectares in the heart of the greatest vintages of Champagne. The Veuve Clicquot still embodied today in France and abroad, the values dear to Madame Clicquot, modernity and audacity coupled with a demand for quality and expertise unbeatable...
