Description
After Moet & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot is the most consumed champagne brut in the world. The champagne has considerable strength and good finesse and is therefore a wine that can be used excellently gastronomically, but is of course also an excellent aperitif. These refined bubbles are an absolute must for those who love a good glass of sparkling wine!
The Veuve Clicquot Rich has a silver coating with the Veuve Clicquot logo stamped into it and this is a champagne made to make a great cocktail, so in terms of style: Doux on the rocks Champagne. Inspired by a fresh new vision for modern drinking, Veuve Clicquot has collaborated with professional mixologists and shared their expertise to create an entirely new wine for a new era. According to Veuve Clicquot cellar master Dominique Demarville, “sugar in champagne is like spices in a recipe; When sugar is used correctly, it brings specific aromas and plays with the taste.”
Veuve Clicquot Rich takes fruit to an exciting and new level. The Veuve Clicquot Pinot Noir signature provides a new versatility with a higher dosage, while the strong presence of Meunier emphasizes the fresh, fruity and gourmand notes. The flavors of citrus fruit and floral notes are balanced with the dynamic freshness and creamy aftertaste, which is very characteristic of Veuve Clicquot champagne. (Blend: Pinot noir 45% / Meunier 40% / Chardonnay 15%)
Veuve Clicquot Rich champagne has been specially created for combining with a selection of ingredients. And it brings out the mixologist – no, the Clicquologist – in everyone. Together with the mixologists, Veuve Clicquot has selected ingredients that add a unique twist to the champagne. The signature notes of the wine are enhanced by the presence of selected ingredients: pineapple, grapefruit zest, cucumber, pepper or tea, combined with plenty of ice. Veuve Clicquot Rich champagne is an exciting and new way to present the So Clicquot twist, with the aim of discovering versatility and creating your own tasting experience.

James Suckling
Some oyster shell, berry biscuits, fresh strawberries and gently toasty brioche here. Lots to like. The palate is plump and flavorsome with plenty of berries and citrus intertwined. Good depth here. Grapefruit finish. Drink now.

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.
