Also is it true it means flowers of the widow-or widows flowers?
Many thanks-it is the only champagne I realy enjoy-bone dry like a chablis(how I dress!) but with added CO2
How do you say Veuve de Cliquot regarding the champagne?
The name means Widow Clicquot.
After Francois Clicquot dies at a young age, his widow Madame Clicquot took over the running of her husband's Champagne winery and made a great success of it. Among other things, she is credited with inventing the riddling rack -- the 'A' shaped wooden device with holes that Champagne bottles are placed in as part of the process of removing the dead yeast.
This produced clear Champagne, and with her focus on producing only the best high quality Champagne she gained the reputation even during her life of being the Great Lady of Champagne (Grande Dame de la Champagne). She died in 1866
The title of the company that owns the winery is now Veuve Clicquot Pommery and you can listen to that name correctly pronounced by a French man by clicking http://www.stratsplace.com/dict/d187.wav

There is no 'de'. It means 'The widow Cliquot' - Cliquot is her surname.
