Founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot, Maison Veuve Clicquot was later taken over by his widow Madame Clicquot at the age of 27 in 1810. Produced in Champagne, a small wine-producing region in the northeast of France. Maison Veuve Clicquot is located in Reims, the largest city in the Champagne province. The House style distinguishes itself through the dominance of Pinot Noir which gives strength, complexity, and elegance to their wines. Through determination, intuition, and acumen Madame Clicquot not only created the first recorded vintage in the champagne region in 1818 but also built up the Veuve Clicquot property to make it one of the foremost vineyards in all [of Champagne.

Veuve du Vernay’s large collection of exotic wines include Brut, Rosé, Demi-Sec, Chardonnay, Ice, and Ice Rosé are produced in Bordeaux and exported to more than forty countries worldwide.

Veuve du Vernay Ice is a classic sparkling wine from Bordeaux with a good serving of sweetness. This wine has numerous, fine, sparkling bubbles with beautiful, light pink colour. The bouquet is fruity with prominent notes of wild berries, honeydew, fresh pineapple, and orange. The taste is well-balanced and full-bodied with good fruit and fine acid in the aftertaste, which gives a lovely freshness.

Veuve du Vernay Ice Brut is designed to be enjoyed over ice with even some roughly chopped fruit and garnish. A delightful, semi-sweet sparkling wine, perfect for any festive occasion. It’s great as an aperitif but also pairs well with tapas and light dishes. Enjoyed well chilled, or serve with ice cubes in an extra refreshing taste.
