When the widowed Madame Clicquot took over her family’s winery, becoming the first woman in history to helm a champagne house, the naysayers likely said she wouldn’t see out the year – let alone the century. Yet, 250 years later, Veuve Clicquot (veuve means widow in French) is celebrating a momentous anniversary and a remarkable history which has seen it become one of the largest, most famous and highly coveted champagne houses in the world.
Credited with both resuscitating her family’s ailing vineyards from the depression of the Napoleonic Wars and spreading the word about fine wines from Champagne across the globe, for many wine experts Madame Clicquot is the woman we have to thank for the modern champagne industry. And, as far as we’re concerned, that’s something to raise a glass to.
In honour of this remarkable woman, and Veuve Clicquot’s very special anniversary, Moët Hennessy online wine and spirits platform Clos19 is offering an array of limited edition and personalisable bottles of Veuve Clicquot, as well as some special collaborations no wine lover should miss out on.
Plus, order before 13 October 2022 using code LLVEUVE22 and you’ll receive two complimentary Veuve Clicquot Champagne glasses for every £100 spent. Chin chin!
Veuve Cliquot Fridge x Smeg
Everyone loves a good collaboration and when we heard that Veuve Clicquot was teaming up with Smeg we instantly knew the results would be great. After all, is there a more perfect pairing that the world’s chicest champagne and its most coveted fridge? Available in both Yellow Label and Rosé versions, each bottle is presented in a mini 1950s-style Smeg fridge gift box which is fully sustainable, infinitely reusable and will keep champagne cold for up to two hours.

Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Personalisable City Arrow
Another fantastic gifting idea – particularly for loved ones who are moving home or even overseas – Veuve Clicquot’s personalisable City Arrow box features a detachable arrow finished with your chosen destination and its distance from Reims, the unofficial capital of the Champagne region. Simply choose any town, village or city of up to 15 letters and Veuve Clicquot will do the maths for you.

Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Ice Jacket
There is perhaps no greater crime against fine champagne than allowing a perfectly chilled bottle to grow warm while you’re drinking. Handily, then, Veuve Clicquot has created a chic yellow ice jacket that wraps around its bottles to keep them perfectly chilled for up to two hours. Created from 100 per cent recycled plastic using a waste-free 3D knitting technology, we think Madame Clicquot would heartily approve.

Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Ice Box
The sunshine-yellow Veuve Clicquot label is a hue as iconic as Tiffany blue or Barbie pink so it follows that the house should capitalise on this for its special anniversary. This limited edition bottle of its classic Yellow Label comes in an ingenious gift box which folds out into an ice bucket that can be reused time and again.

Veuve Clicquot Stripe Retro Chic Tape Box
Champagne is always a good gift – and when it comes in one of Veuve Clicquot’s retro-style tape gift boxes it’s just that much more fun and memorable. This reusable striped tape tin, inspired by the aesthetics of the 1960s, contains a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label champagne, which was first trademarked in 1877 and created for a British market that desired drier, crisper sparkling wines.
