Iconic Brand 5 – Veuve Clicquot:
Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin is the original Champagne House, founded in 1772. Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin stands for innovation and excellence on every level. Madame Clicquot is credited with major breakthroughs, creating the first known vintage champagne in 1810, and inventing the riddling table process to clarify champagne in 1816. Her legacy lives on today through Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin’s creation of fine wines that are always unique, relevant, and with an undeniable French touch.
The yellow label began appearing on bottles in 1876. The house pasted a yellow label on its bottles to distinguish dry champagne from sweet on the British market. In 1897, the yellow label was chosen for “brut” champagne, which is made entirely from grapes that are picked before they are ripe, and therefore contain minimal sugar.
Now it is time for you to make your brand shine with labels that stand the test of time.
