Assouline Veuve Clicquot

Who doesn't like champagne?

For over 250 years, Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin has been redefining champagne excellence, pioneering new ideas and collaborations that reinvigorate the brand's heritage. From the creation of rosé champagne in 1775 to more recent partnerships with innovators such as Andrée Putman and the Campana brothers, the brand continues to push its own boundaries. When Madame Clicquot, the famous "veuve" (widow), inherited the house in 1805, she established a reputation for quality and innovation, introducing the first vintage champagne and the riddling rack. Her motto, "Only one quality, the finest", still guides Veuve Clicquot's dedication to creating champagne that goes beyond taste to become a lifestyle.

The brand's commitment to art, design and culture is exemplified by its renovated headquarters, the Hôtel du Marc in Reims, which reopened in 2010 under the vision of interior designer Bruno Moinard. Now a masterpiece of eighteenth-century elegance and contemporary artistry, the space features works by icons such as Yayoi Kusama and Pablo Reinoso, and brings together wine, design and gastronomy. Veuve Clicquot Champagne has become the toast of global events - from the Goodwood Circuit in the spring to New York's polo lawns in the summer and Rio's Carnival in the winter - cementing its status as a true icon.

In recent years, Veuve Clicquot has deepened its commitment to sustainability and exclusivity. In 2013, a partnership with Michelin-starred chef Joël Robuchon placed its champagne in his twenty-three restaurants worldwide, while in 2014, a collaboration with Ferrari led to the release of the limited-edition Veuve Clicquot Maranello collection. True to its heritage, the brand introduced 'Naturally Clicquot' eco-friendly packaging made from grape pulp - a first in sustainable luxury. Blending tradition with modernity, Veuve Clicquot continues to embody a life of refined taste, authenticity and timeless sophistication.
