With its eye-catching and distinctive yellow label, Veuve Clicquot is almost impossible to miss. But the champagne house is so much more than just “that champagne with the yellow bottle”.

Founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot-Muiron, it is one of the true pioneers of the champagne industry. It is credited as the producer of the first ever vintage champagne back in 1810, and also the first champagne house to produce rosé champagne.
