Veuve Clicquot Champagne
Pinot Noir driven Champagne from Reims, poured in Commack since 1772.
The story behind Veuve Clicquot
Veuve Clicquot was founded in Reims in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot. In 1805 his son Francois died, and his 27 year old widow Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin took the house over. The name means Widow Clicquot, and she built it into a global empire. She is credited with the riddling table in 1816, the first recorded vintage Champagne in 1810, and the first blended rose in 1818.
The house style leans on Pinot Noir, roughly half the Yellow Label blend, with Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier filling it out. Up to 40 to 50 percent reserve wines from older harvests hold the flavor steady year to year, and the bottles rest on their lees in the chalk crayeres under Reims for 30 to 36 months, well past the legal 15.

Yellow Label is the workhorse. Rose, vintage and La Grande Dame show what the Pinot Noir backbone does with more time and more money.
