Description
After Moet & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot is the most consumed champagne brut in the world. In 1805, the 27-year-old widow Clicquot took over the management of the house founded in Reims in 1772 and became one of the first businesswomen in history. This brave and far-sighted woman introduced the world to her champagne. Know-how & craftsmanship: for more than 200 years, the house has adhered to its own motto: 'There is only one quality, the best'.
A consistent style: complex & powerful with mainly Pinot Noir. With a unique yellow corporate identity, Veuve Clicquot radiates elegant liveliness with an edge. An ideal gift. Makes parties and special occasions even more special.
A Demi-Sec is a (semi) sweet champagne. The Veuve Cliquot is a blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. The Veuve Clicquot Demi-Sec has a refined balance between sweet and fruity flavors and is remarkably fresh. Ideal as an accompaniment to a fruity dessert. The wine is a beautiful yellow with deep golden highlights and fine, even bubbles. Rich in scents of ripe fruit (candied fruit, berry liqueur) with hints of toasted bread and brioche. The wine feels soft and round and is wonderfully fresh thanks to the mild acidity. With pronounced aromas of ripe fruit.
Because its taste tends towards sweet and fruity flavors, Veuve Clicquot Demi-Sec goes particularly well with fruit-based desserts: pear tart, gratin aux return, charlotte with apricots. But also îles flottantes, crêpes Suzette, crème brûlée, nougat glacé or a traditional French Epiphany bread are ideal partners for this great champagne. After additional time in the cellar (two or three years or even longer under the right conditions), Demi-Sec develops even richer notes of praline or toasted bread. Then the Champagne goes perfectly with desserts based on caramel or praline: Paris-Brest, tarte tatin, pears with caramel.

Champagne with a story that never gets old. Veuve Clicquot is so much more than a yellow label.
History of Veuve Clicquot
The story starts in 1772, when Philippe Clicquot founded his champagne house in Reims. But true fame came later, thanks to Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin. She married François Clicquot, who sadly passed away at a young age. At just 27 years old, she took control of the house. In an era where women rarely ran businesses, she made her mark. She became known as “La Veuve Clicquot” – the Widow Clicquot – and grew into an icon of the champagne world.
Under her leadership, the modern method of making champagne bright and sparkling was refined. She introduced the technique of remuage, where bottles are slowly turned so that the sediment collects in the neck. A simple yet brilliant idea that made champagne famous around the world.
Vineyards and location
Veuve Clicquot owns more than 390 hectares of vineyards in Champagne. That’s special, as many houses buy most of their grapes. The vineyards are spread across the best cru villages, including Bouzy, Verzenay and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier are the main grapes here. Together they shape the house style: powerful, fresh and structured.
Most of the vineyards are planted with Pinot Noir. It gives the wines their recognizable depth and character. Chardonnay adds freshness and finesse, while Meunier brings a touch of fruitiness.
Climate and terroir
Champagne sits in the north of France. Summers are cool, winters are mild, and the climate can be unpredictable. Perfect for grapes that shouldn’t get too ripe. The soil is mainly chalk and limestone, which offers great drainage and a mineral edge in the wines. Combined with the changing seasons, this results in grapes with tension and freshness – exactly what champagne needs.
Fun facts about Veuve Clicquot
- The famous “Yellow Label” was introduced in 1877 and became the instant signature of the house.
- Veuve Clicquot was the first champagne exported worldwide, from Russia to the United States.
- In 2010, 168 bottles of 19th century Veuve Clicquot were found in the Baltic Sea – still drinkable and remarkably fresh.
- The house owns one of the largest chalk cellars in Reims, endless tunnels where millions of bottles quietly age.
