Madame Clicquot known as the "Grand Dame of Champagne", was only 27 when she became a widow and took over her husband's wine business 200 + years ago!
Her riddling technique of placing bottles upside down and turning them is still used today.
This Champagne house has an annual production of approximately 18,000,000 bottles and they ranked number two by volume behind Moët & Chandon in Champagne kingdom.
Even the 'yellow label' NV is inimitable.
For such a large operation, the consistency of Veuve Clicquot is truly admirable.
Instead of showing up to a special event with flowers, why not bring a bottle of yellow level NV
VC? You can find this bottle for less than $ 50.00 at whole foods or Trader Joes.
I get mine from San Diego wine Co for just 42.00, in a beautiful metal box.
We love it so much we even buy a magnum to share with friends.
