Based on the New York Times best-selling biography, and inspired by fact, comes the true story behind Veuve Clicquot and the champagne business the family started. Set in France during the late 18th century, we are introduced to Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin the Grande Dame of champagne, otherwise known as Veuve Clicquot. After her husband’s untimely death, she flouts convention by assuming the reigns of the fledging business they had nurtured together. She defies her critics and revolutionises the champagne industry to become one of the world’s great businesswomen.
