Today, Krug's reputation has spread far and wide across the globe, making it one of the world's top Champagne houses with the most distinctive character.

3. Champagne Veuve Clicquot

The legend of Champagne Veuve Clicquot began in 1772, and the champagne produced by the house has been of outstanding quality since its inception. As an old Champagne brand, the development of the House was closely linked to a remarkable woman, Madame Clicquot, who took over the family business in 1805 at the age of 27, following the untimely death of Francois Clicquot, the second owner of the House. At the age of 27, Mrs. Clicquot took over the family business. Through tireless efforts, pioneering and innovation, Madame Clicquot has led Champagne Clicquot through an important period of development.

At the beginning of the 19th century, when Europe was under blockade by Napoleon, Madame Veuve Clicquot wisely broke the trade embargo and shipped large quantities of champagne to Russia, where it was sold as the "wine of luck", which boosted Veuve Clicquot's reputation. In 1816, Mrs. Veuve Clicquot invented the Riddling Table, a revolutionary invention that effectively removed the sediment from Champagne, making it clearer than ever before, and making it the most famous Champagne in the world. In addition, she also created the world's first rosé champagne, and in 1986, Veuve Clicquot was acquired by Louis Vuitton, and the LVMH group was founded the following year, under which Veuve Clicquot also came under the umbrella of Veuve Clicquot.

In addition to these stars of the sparkling wine world, LVMH also owns some of the finest sweet wine houses and the famous Still Wine brand.
