Nicole Barbe Ponsardin, the widow ('veuve' in French) of Clicquot, had to take over the flourishing business run by her husband in 1805, at the age of 27: the champagne house of François Clicquot, a textile entrepreneur who founded his winery in the Champagne region of France in 1772. Clicquot was a pioneer in a world ruled by men by taking over the winery, continuing the path of innovation paved by her husband's father, who in 1775 had created the first rosé champagne in history. Under Nicole's direction, the company was renamed Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin in 1810, and the house's first vintage champagne was produced. The German Antoine Müller joined the company as winemaker, perfecting the méthode champenoise and revolutionizing the Champagne wine market (advances such as 'remuage' were the work of Müller).

The winery's prestige has continued to grow, and today it is one of the most popular Champagne houses, with its unmistakable yellow-orange label and its flagship cuvée, La Grande Dame, one of the most complex and refined Champagnes. Currently part of the LVMH group of luxury brands, its wide distribution makes its wines easy to find on the market.

Veuve Clicquot controls some 400 hectares of vineyards, located between the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs. Its Brut Yellow Label is the best-known brand, to which it allocates the majority of its production. This Champagne comes from a blend of grapes from fifty different estates and is in high international demand. Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label is a perfect example of the harmony between delicacy and energy. Dominated by Pinot Noir, it has a firm structure, rounded with a touch of Pinot Meunier. Nearly a third of Chardonnay gives it the elegance and delicacy necessary for a perfect balance. A blend of fifty crus, mainly Grands and Premiers Crus, the quality is consistent due to 25 to 35% reserve wines.
