Veuve Clicquot is one of the world's largest champagne houses. Founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot-Muiron, it played a key role in establishing champagne as a favorite among the European upper class and nobility. The premature death of François Clicquot in 1805 left his wife, Madame Clicquot Ponsardin, a widow at the young age of 27. Intelligent, resourceful, and energetic, she was a determined woman with the courage to face that challenge. At a time when women were excluded from business, she dared to take on the leadership of the company founded by her father-in-law, a role she carried out with passion and determination. Her creativity and quest for innovation led to several firsts in Champagne: the first known vintage champagne, the invention of the riddling table, and the first known blended rosé champagne. These three innovations revolutionized champagne production and were quickly adopted by all producers, laying the foundation for modern champagne production. Madame Clicquot transformed her name into a trademark of excellence and made it known throughout the world. Her enormous contribution earned her the nickname "the Grande Dame of Champagne." Inside, you can discover the 24 kilometers of cellars, the heritage of the house. www.veuveclicquot.com

Some of the buildings are monumental and an expression of capital - but even the small winemakers have very good champagnes to offer that are in no way inferior to the big houses!

A very beautiful metal installation that shows the activities of the winemaker.

In 2011[9], the idea for the current Museum of Champagne and Regional Archaeology was born. The project was approved by the French Ministry of Culture in 2014, and in 2016 the renovation work was entrusted to the architectural firm Frenak + Jullien. Work began in 2018, under the supervision of the chief architect of historical monuments Lionel Dubois. Château Perrier has now been restored and contains one of the most important archaeological exhibits in France, with some 80,000 regional artefacts (dating from the Paleolithic to the Early Middle Period) and 4,000 artefacts relating to the history of Champagne wine (since 1960).[10]

The Château Perrier, at number 13, was built from 1852 to 1857[9] by the architect Pierre-Eugène Cordier, in an eclectic Louis XIII style. In 1854[10], the couple Pierre-Nicolas Perrier, a cork manufacturer, and Adèle Jouët (the founders of the Perrier-Jouët champagne house), who had married in 1811, commissioned the construction of this castle. The four facades are inspired by the architecture of the French Renaissance, to the Parisian image of the Palais du Luxembourg, the Palais des Tuileries or the Lescot of the Louvre. The facades are a play of colours with materials such as brick, natural stone, slate and glass.
