Veuve Clicquot
Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin was founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot-Muiron. His son François married Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin, but died six years later leaving his widow, or veuve, in control of the business. Madame Clicquot is credited with the industrialisation of champagne production in the early 19th century. With the assistance of her cellar master, Antoine de Meller, Clicquot invented the riddling rack that allows the disgorgement of dead yeast and sediment from the wine - a process that continues today in Champagne houses across the region. Easily recognised by its distinctive bright yellow labels, Veuve Clicquot is one of the most widely consumed Champagnes in the world. Situated in Reims, Veuve Clicquot has been part of the Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy group of luxury brands since 1987.

What is it about Champagne? The first choice for celebrations of love, success and life's rites of passage for generations, the exclusive sparkling wines from the Champagne region of France hold a special place in the world of wine. The most northerly of France's wine regions, Champagne's history of sparkling wines dates back to 1668 when Dom Perignon, a local monk, is said to have created the method still used to produce Champagne today. The chalky soils of Champagne are home to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, all employed in a typical Champagne blend. The northerly location of the vineyards means that ripening can be a problem, so using a blend of grapes is critical. Most typically made in a brut, or dry style, non-vintage (NV) Champagne is a blend of wines from a number of years. Vintage champagnes, made only in the best years, are aged extensively before release, creating richer, biscuity flavours.

Champagne Blend
Champagne, one of the world’s most well-known wine styles, is typically made from a combination of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier wines. Simply, Pinot Noir adds structure, Chardonnay adds weight and Pinot Meunier backs them up while ripening early, ensuring growers can harvest some grapes while avoiding potential frosts. Each Champagne house has a different style, and proportionately uses the wines in order to emulate this. Blancs de Blancs, a commonly labelled style, is made from 100% Chardonnay.
