The Champagne house Veuve Clicquot was founded in 1772. Its success is owed to an extraordinary woman and true pioneer of the industry, whose dedication and personality profoundly shaped the history of this brand and Champagne itself: Madame Barbe-Nicole Clicquot, née Ponsardin.
Veuve Clicquot adheres to the motto of its founder: «Only one quality – the finest». Veuve Clicquot, the world's second-largest Champagne house, is based in Reims (France) and offers various non-vintage Champagnes of rare consistency – Brut, Extra-Brut, Rosé, Demi-Sec, and Doux – as well as vintage Champagnes in Blanc and Rosé. Since 1972, the year the Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Awards were created, it has also offered the excellent Prestige Cuvée «La Grande Dame».
Incidentally, the first international delivery from the House of Clicquot went to Switzerland in 1773, to a hotel in Bern. Swiss customers have remained loyal to the brand ever since. Even today, the Swiss market is one of the house's ten most important export markets.
