After the death of her husband, Francios Clicquot, Barbe-Nicole Clicquot defied all expectations by continuing his dream of creating a new and unique wine. Her decision was met with disbelief from many, including her partner and father-in-law. However, she persevered, mastering the art of wine-making, overcoming financial challenges, and mourning the loss of her husband. This is the story of the champagne pioneer and the creator of Veuve Clicquot.

This is the story of a woman who defied the odds during an era where women were seldom taken seriously. She turned a failing vineyard into a global brand still on the shelves of local beer and wine shops worldwide. The story has a good mix of her personal life, the wine-making process, and the financials required to be successful in the business. The film elegantly blends the topics, allowing for it all to make sense without making it too long. This is a tremendous off-the-beaten-path film, especially for wine and champagne enthusiasts and French history connoisseurs.
