The Clicquot champagne house was founded in Reims in 1772. In October 1805, under the First Empire of Napoleon I, Barbe-Nicole Clicquot née Ponsardin lost her husband at the age of 27.

She replaces him at the head of the house and names his house: Veuve Clicquot-Ponsardin. She then made 100,000 bottles per year. She would make 750,000 when she died in 1866. The house today belongs to the LVMH Group.
