Veuve Clicquot was founded in Reims, France in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot. In 1798, his son François Clicquot became a partner in the business, which was renamed Clicquot-Muiron et Fils. In 1805, four years after the elder Clicquot retired, François suddenly became ill and died, leaving the company to his widow, Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin. Under her leadership, the champagne house became internationally famous, and both she and the brand began to be known as Veuve Clicquot (“the widow Clicquot”).

In 1841, the widow retired, and Edouard Werlé took over the enterprise. His grandson-in-law Bertrand de Mun became a partner in 1902, and he was succeeded by his son-in-law Bertrand de Vogüé in 1932. In 1963 the company became a joint-stock company, and in 1987 it was acquired by LVMH.
