LA GRANDE DAME IS A TRIBUTE TO MADAME CLICQUOT AND TO THE CREATIVE AND ELEGANT SOULS WHO HAVE FOLLOWED IN HER FOOTSTEPS
Known in her lifetime as "the Grande Dame of Champagne", Madame Clicquot was a woman ahead of her time. When her husband died in 1805, she took over the reins at just 27 years of age, at a time when women had no place in the world of business. She was a demanding creator, tirelessly searching for only one quality, the finest. Her tenacity and instinct led her to free herself from her charted destiny. A free and ambitious woman, she dared to say, "I wish my brand to rank first in New York like in Saint Petersburg". Today, her signature is recognized the world over as the seal of Veuve Clicquot.
This is the story of a Grande Dame, the story of a Grand Champagne.
