Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label in a carton
Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin is a French champagne house based in Reims, specializing in premium products. The company was founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot-Muiron. Veuve Clicquot plays an important role in creating champagne as a favorite drink of the bourgeoisie and the nobility throughout Europe. In 1811, Veuve Clicquot was considered to be the first truly "modern" champagne due to an innovative remuage technique (shaking of sediment formed during secondary fermentation in bottles towards the neck of the bottle; the sediment is then removed by sludge removal). Veuve Clicquot Brut is a dry champagne, combined from the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grape varieties, originating in the Champagne region.
