Episode notes

In this episode, we dive into the life of Barbe-Nicole Clicquot, the woman who took over her husband’s wine business at just 27. In the middle of war, economic collapse, and a world that didn’t believe women belonged in business.

She went on to invent modern Champagne as we know it: from creating the riddling table, to exporting Champagne across enemy lines, to turning Veuve Clicquot into an international symbol of success.
