MORE INFO The distinctive taste of Veuve Clicquot Brut comes from a strong mix of Pinot Noir grapes, a touch of oak from the wooden casks used to ferment the drink, and the 30 months of ageing allowed for the taste to develop. It has traditionally had a drier style than other, sweeter champagnes. To ensure that flavour is always optimised, the company has sought to reduce the amount of sulphur dioxide used during the wine making process. The result is a rich, classic champagne taste with a fruity, yeasty bouquet. Decades of clever marketing and placement of the brand in premium settings have resulted in a close association with luxury and refined taste. For example, Veuve Clicquot has been appointed by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to provide the royal family with champagne.

Over the course of her lifetime, Madame Clicquot (Barbe Ponsardin), developed three of the most important innovations in Champagne that are still practiced today. First, in 1810 Veuve Clicquot produced the first vintage wine in Champagne, which otherwise produced non-vintage blends. Second, in 1816 Madame Clicquot invented the riddling table to clarify Veuve Clicquot champagne, and by doing so, she improved both the quality and finesse of the wines. Riddling is now fundamental to ‘La Methode Traditionelle’ (the traditional Champagne production method) and is emulated around the world.Finally, in 1818 Madame Clicquot created the first rose champagne made through ‘assemblage’, a method where white wines are blended with red wines. During the Napoleonic Wars, Madame Clicquot made strides in establishing her wine in royal courts throughout Europe, notably that of Imperial Russia. [10] She played an important role in establishing Champagne as a favored drink of high society and nobility throughout Europe. As an adult, you should never drink or serve champagne that has aged beyond its prime. Champagne should be stored in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. When storing champagne, keep it at room temperature (about 65 degrees F or 18 degrees C) for a few minutes. Vintage and non-vintage champagne are the two types of champagne available. Vintage champagne is made from grapes from one vintage year and is blended with grapes from different harvests. Unopened sparkling wines are not necessarily less expensive than bottled sparkling wines, which are generally available for a few years after they are bottled. In other words, a decade ago you probably wouldn’t have used a bottle of Bollinger or Veuve Clicquot.
