Ruinart had already produced a rosé Champagne by tinting Champagne with elderberry juice, but Veuve Clicquot was the first to produce rosé Champagne by adding still red wine to its sparkling.

Veuve Clicquot’s signature yellow label has adorned the bottle for over 180 years.Veuve Clicquot Champagne is available at The Champagne Company and bears the distinctive yellow label - one of the most easily and widely recognisable Champagne brands, world-famous for their innovative gift sets. In 1772 Philippe Clicquot established himself as a wine merchant under the name Clicquot and was the first Champagne House to ship Rosé Champagne . In 1810 the House took on the name, Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin and produced its very first Vintage Champagne. Nicole-Barbe Ponsardin, the widow of Philippe Clicquot's son François, developed the business both technically and commercially. The house believes that Pinot Noir adds strength and structure to its wines. The house’s prestige cuvée is ‘La Grande Dame.” The wine is then subjected to a blind tasting, and then a second fermentation is conducted. While not traditional in Champagne making, this second fermentation helps to reduce the acidity of the wine.

Most of us love any excuse to sip on the effervescent fizz, and it’s long been associated with noteworthy occasions. Weddings, graduations, anniversaries, and even promotions often call for the happily ostentatious opening of a luxurious bottle.

The penultimate step is dosing the wine (which remains very dry at this point) by adding a dosing liquor.

The unrivalled branding and cachet embodies elegance. A house that was built by Barbe-Nicol Ponsardin. Who at the age of just 27 years became the widow Clicquot. She single handily built the reputation of the house into what it is today. Deep in the cellars of the House of Clicquot in Reims, you’ll find a sea of bottles laid horizontally, still and peaceful, far away from light and disturbances.
