MADAME CLICQUOT AND THE HAPPINESS OF CHAMPAGNE

  • A wonderfully atmospheric novel – as sparkling as a glass of champagne!
  • A great setting in the French champagne city Reims.

Between self-realisation and love: the story of the woman behind the famous champagne brand Veuve Clicquot.  

The French champagne city Reims in 1805: despite resistance from her family, young widow Barbe-Nicole Clicquot takes over the champagne and wine production from her late husband - and turns out to be a talented winemaker. But it is the time of the Napoleonic Wars and business is not going well.

Supported by her employee Louis Bohne and the German accountant Christian Kessler, Barbe-Nicole nevertheless manages to get her company started, develops a new production process and thus gives champagne its seductive tingle.

Enchanted by her esprit, both men develop feelings for her - but it is only as a widow that Barbe-Nicole can run the company under her name ...
