Veuve Clicquot Champagne

Veuve Clicquot is the second largest champagne house after Moët & Chandon and, like Moët, now belongs to the luxury group LVMH. At the beginning of the 19th century, the young widow of the former owner François Clicquot, Nicole-Barbe Clicquot-Ponsardin, took over the family business and expanded it into an international company. The widow Clicquot-Ponsardin was a true champagne enthusiast and formative in the development of the champagne production! She invented the first rosé champagne, the first shaking desk and also contributed to the typical champagne disgorging process.
