“Narrative history that fizzes with life and feeling.” — Benjamin Wallace, New York Times bestselling creator of The Billionaire’s Vinegar
The New York Times bestselling biography of the visionary young woman who built a champagne empire, was a legend, and showed the world tips on how to live with style
Veuve Clicquot champagne epitomizes glamour, style, and luxury. In The Widow Clicquot, Tilar J. Mazzeo brings to life—for the primary time—the fascinating woman in the back of the long-lasting yellow label: Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin, who, after her husband’s death, defied convention by assuming the reins of the fledgling wine business they’d nurtured together. Steering the company through dizzying political and financial reversals, she was probably the most world’s first great businesswomen and probably the most richest women of her time.
As much an interesting journey during the process of making this temperamental wine as a biography of a uniquely tempered woman, The Widow Clicquot is the captivating true story of a legend and a visionary.
