I know it may seem silly, but I'm not sure!

Almost. The second name is easier to relay. It's clee coe, like the last name coe.
Veuve, which means "widow," is harder to explain. It's not a long o, it's a sound that does not exist in English, this French "eu." Try this: http://www.forvo.com/word/veuve_cliquot/ A votre sante! |

| It's not vof, the second v is not hard. |

| Vuhv Klee KO. (That's close at least!) |

| Yes, it is close, but it's not quite uh, either! |

It's pronounced "Veuve Clicquot." 
But really, you can't improve on Forvo (even if they spelled it wrong). |

| No it is NOT Vuhv! It's more the "u" from uhr. |
