The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Veuve Clicquot stands tall among the greatest Champagne houses, celebrated for its distinctly vinous style. As one of the most trusted and sought-after names in the appellation, each of its cuvées shines with a unique, unparalleled character.

With an exceptional vineyard portfolio featuring premier and grand cru sites, and state-of-the-art production that now includes barrel and foudre aging, Veuve Clicquot is especially renowned for its Carte Jaune cuvée—the best-selling Champagne in the United States.
Wine The Champagne Brut Carte Jaune is a wine of great depth—rich and balanced, predominantly driven by Pinot Noir, which imparts structure and intensity. It boasts a brioche character with a subtle toastiness from the reserve wines and a small portion aged in large barrels. This iconic cuvée features a distinctive vinous character, including up to 45% reserve wines, carefully selected to ensure the quality and consistency of the Veuve Clicquot style.

The Clicquot Ice Jacket, launched in 2004, represents the perfect balance of design and innovation. This functional sleeve keeps your champagne chilled, making it ideal for enjoying at any time and in any place!
Vinification Hand harvested, traditional Champagne vinification. Made from Pinot Noir (50%), Chardonnay (30%°) and Pinot Meunier (20%). Blend of Reserve wines: 30 to 45%, made from grapes from 50 to 60 different crus. Aged on laths for a minimum of 3 years in the chalk cellars.
Dosage: 9g/l.

The Ice Jacket is made from a single material: recycled plastic fibres.
