Widow Clicquot is based on the true story behind the Veuve Clicquot champagne family and business that began in the late 18th century. After her husband‘s unti­mely death, Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin Clicquot flouts convention by assuming the reins of the fledgling wine business they had nurtured together. Steering the com­pany through dizzying political and financial reversals, she defies her critics and revolutionizes the champa­gne industry to become one of the world‘s first great entrepreneurs.
