“PSA: There is a great book about her called The Widow Clicquot (veuve is French for widow, the brand name literally translates to “Widow Clicquot”). It recounts, among other things, her knack for marketing—that orange!—that was many decades ahead of her time. We stan two legends! https://t.co/qVn3Qld70p” (from X)
by Tilar J Mazzeo·You?
The Widow Clicquot is the New York Times bestselling business biography of the visionary young widow who built a champagne empire, became a legend in her tumultuous times, and showed the world how to live with style. Tilar J. Mazzeo brings to life the woman behind the label, Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin, in this utterly intoxicating book that is as much a fascinating journey through the process of making this temperamental wine as a biography of a uniquely tempered and fascinating woman.
