The house of Veuve Clicquot is among the most prestigious Champagne firms in the world. It has extensive vineyards, unparalleled for their size and quality, which stretch through the top rated areas of the region, many of which were originally purchased by Madame Clicquot herself. Veuve Clicquot is best known for its famous Yellow Label, a blend from several vintages. It is a lesser known fact, however, that Veuve Clicquot was also the first ever Champagne house to make cuvées composed entirely from a single, exceptional year.
