On March 28th, Veuve Cliquot held the 39th annual Veuve Cliquot Awards ceremony dedicated to celebrating the most successful business women of the UK with the strong commitment towards environmental and societal issues. This year, the first award went to Michelle McDowell MBE, a civil engineer who was responsible for the £70m re-development of the Royal Albert Hall. Aside from the grand prize, Ms. McDowell was also granted a title ‘Veuve Clicquot Business Woman of the Year’.

Almost each season, Perrier-Jouët collaborates with renowned artists and celebrities to create another project to mirror the nature of the refined champagne. This fall, the brand unveiled a series of watercolour illustrations by Kareem Iliya, who dedicated his visuals to the theme of the Dandy Ball. Now, ahead of Christmas celebrations and exquisite parties, the brand presents a nice follow-up, “a lavish leather bag containing a bottle of Perrier-Jouët Fleur de Champagne, two glasses and a notebook on the art of drinking champagne,” which is sure to add to the festive spirit.

For 38 consecutive years, the Veuve Clicquot Champagne brand, founded by Nicole Ponsardin, the famous widow Madame Clicquot, is saluting the UK business women for their grand achievements in work as well as dedication for providing positive changes in the social and health care spheres. Now, the brand is encouraging female leaders to send applications for a chance to receive 2011 The Veuve Clicquot Business Woman of the Year Award.

Perrier-Jouët, the iconic French champagne brand, which famous for its dedication to art, is paying homage to its Belle Epoque cuvee with a new creative collaboration. This time, the brand’s aesthetic nature was highlighted by American artist Kareem Iliya, who created a series of seven illustrations in ink under the theme of “The Dandy Ball” to celebrate the brand’s luxurious and extravagant spirit.
