VEUVE CLICQUOT - FRANCE (www.veuve-clicquot.com).
The International Butler Academy & Veuve
Clicquot
This is one amazing field trip. We travel to the
Champagne region in France and visit the Veuve
Clicquot Estate. Not only will we tour the
estate and the cellars, but we will be tasting
various wines and champagnes and we will enjoy a
marvelous dinner at this estate. We will also
spend the night at this estate.

This Field Trip is made
possible in part thanks to the support of the
LVHM group. The LVMH group
was founded in 1987 as a result of the merger
between Moët Hennessy and Louis Vuitton, which
served to create the world leader in luxury
goods.

LVMH inherited a long
history, and brings together noble professions,
with deeply-rooted traditions and a unique
combination of internationally renowned brands.

The companies which form part of the
champagne, spirits and leather goods
division are over a century old, and
some were established more than two
centuries ago. Moët & Chandon dates back to
1743, Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin to 1772, Hennessy
to 1765; Johan-Joseph Krug founded his
establishment in 1843, while Château d'Yquem and
its wines go as far back as 1593. The House of
Louis Vuitton was founded in 1854.

In perfumes and cosmetics and
in fashions, the companies, sometimes created
more recently, have cultivated their
international standing over a number of years.
Guerlain goes back to 1829, Christian Dior to
1947. Givenchy was founded in 1951, and launched
its perfumes in 1957. So in fact it was a
series of successive mergers, motivated by the
affinity of their core businesses, which led to
the establishment of the LVMH group. |
