Books about Veuve Clicquot

January 1, 2013 by Fifi Flowers

First... Let me say HAPPY NEW YEAR... and then what goes better with NYE celebrations than Champagne... BOOKS and Champagne are a LOVELY combination as well...




You can see more about The Seasons of Veuve Clicquot when Reading is Fashionable shared the book's kick-off party HERE.


Veuve Clicquot champagne epitomizes glamour, style, and luxury. In The Widow Clicquot, Tilar J. Mazzeo brings to life—for the first time—the fascinating woman behind the iconic yellow label: Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin, who, after her husband's death, defied convention by assuming the reins of the fledgling wine business they had nurtured together. Steering the company through dizzying political and financial reversals, she became one of the world's first great businesswomen and one of the richest women of her time.
As much a fascinating journey through 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.
