a nod to excellence : veuve clicquot champagne
Enhancing the Alpine ambiance is the inclusion of Veuve Clicquot champagne, a name synonymous with quality and refinement since its inception in 1772. Ocean House’s choice to feature Veuve Clicquot pays homage to the remarkable journey of Madame Clicquot, a young widow who, in the face of personal tragedy, took control of the family business with an unwavering commitment to excellence. Her legacy of quality, innovation, and strength lives on in the champagne that bears her name, making it a fitting accompaniment to an experience steeped in sophistication.
The storied history of Veuve Clicquot, marked by its mythical wines and a dedication to unparalleled quality, mirrors the essence of the dining experience at Ocean House. With a lineage of only 10 Cellar Masters over its history, Veuve Clicquot’s style—strength combined with complexity—complements the ambiance and offering at Ocean House, elevating each meal to a celebration of culinary and vinicultural artistry.
