In Thomas Napper’s rousing WIDOW CLICQUOT, it is the early 1800s in France, and the young Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin Clicquot’s is in mourning after the untimely death of her beloved husband, winemaker François. Named Veuve (the French word for widow), Barbe-Nicole is determined to protect her family’s legacy and vineyard, despite the financial risk and the Napoleonic Code barring women from running businesses. Picking up where her husband left off, Widow Clicquot begins exploring revolutionary techniques in blending and bottling and takes a leap of faith with her own blend of sparkling wine. Led by the captivating Haley Bennett as Barbe-Nicole, WIDOW CLICQUOT is a rousing and inspiring biopic that equally celebrates the chemistry of wine and a true story of female entrepreneurship.
