About the producer

Barbe-Nicole Clicquot, nicknamed the "Grande Dame de Champagne", née Ponsardin was a businesswoman and the first woman to run a champagne house. Born on December 16, 1777 in Reims. She was 27 years old when her husband, François Clicquot, died. He left her a champagne house created 33 years earlier in 1772 and producing 100,000 bottles annually. Nicknamed "the Widow Clicquot" or "the Great Lady of Champagne", endowed with an uncommon strength of character, she knew how to run her company and at her death on July 29, 1866, the house sold 750,000 bottles throughout the world. She had the intelligence to acquire vines among the best vintages, in Bouzy, Verzy and Verzenay in the Montagne de Reims, thus constituting the exceptional heritage of the house of 286 hectares. She also designed the famous yellow label which, throughout the world, allows a bottle of Clicquot to be recognized at a glance.
