Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin
Founded in Reims in 1772, the House of Veuve Clicquot remains true to its motto: Only one quality, the finest. In 1805, Madame Clicquot took the reins of the House and became one of the first businesswomen of modern times, acquiring the epithet la grande dame of Champagne. Her visionary spirit and innate sense of French art de vivre live on today. Her iconic cuve, Brut Carte Jaune, is synonymous with more than two centuries of know-how and an exceptional heritage. The colour of the sun, it symbolizes the values of audacity and optimism that the House has carried for 250 years.
