The Veuve Clicquot. Here is a very original and very curious name for a champagne house. In 1772, the Clicquot house was founded by Philippe Clicquot, from a family of bankers and textile merchants. His ambition is to cross borders for the production of his vines, which he markets through his business, whose brand is quite simply Clicquot. He will succeed in his bet and his first shipment of champagne is destined for Venice.
