Veuve Clicquot Champagne House

Behind one of the most renowned Champagne houses stands one of the first female entrepreneurs of the modern era. After the premature passing of her husband, Barbe Nicole Ponsardin, Madame Clicquot, took over the family business. With boldness and a visionary approach to her craft, she revolutionized Champagne-making, introducing innovations that reshaped the industry. She transformed the process of creating rosé Champagne, a brilliant invention that soon became widely adopted by other Champagne houses. Veuve's Champagnes embody excellence since their creation, just as she defined it: "Only one quality, the very first."

As part of your visit to the Maison, enjoy a guided tour led by a specialist in a small group of 9 to 19 participants. Step into the world of Madame Clicquot and uncover her enduring legacy, vision, and uncompromising pursuit of excellence. Explore the UNESCO-listed chalk cellars while learning about the Maison’s centuries-old craftsmanship and spirit of innovation. The experience concludes with a guided tasting of several cuvées (typically between 2 and 4, depending on the visit and availability), offering a refined introduction to the distinctive style and character of Veuve Clicquot. Depending on the format selected, the visit generally lasts between 1 and 1.5 hours.
