Palate profile

Producer

Veuve Clicquot, founded in 1772 in Reims, France, gained prominence under Madame Clicquot, who took over the business in 1805 at age 27. She pioneered several champagne-making innovations, including the invention of the riddling table in 1816, which revolutionized the production process by clarifying the wine. In 1818, she created the first known blended rosé champagne by adding still red wine to the sparkling white, a method still widely used today. The house's distinctive yellow label, introduced in 1877, became a symbol of quality and innovation in the champagne industry.
