Champagne Widows: First Woman of Champagne, Veuve Clicquot (Champagne Widows Novels)

Reims, France, 1800s. Young widow Barbe-Nicole Clicquot has an extraordinary gift: an exquisite sense of smell vital for crafting the world’s finest champagne. Despite her grief and the strict laws preventing women from owning businesses, Barbe-Nicole negotiates a way of taking over her late husband’s struggling winery. Shackled with business restrictions from Napoleon’s Code, an economy strangled by war, and obstructions from competitors, Barbe-Nicole defiantly confronts the prejudice and the Emperor himself. Amidst the chaos, love throws a curveball in the shape of a passionate connection with her sales manager. But marrying will mean forfeiting the winery, forcing her to choose between love and her life’s calling. Can Barbe-Nicole defy the odds to become the first female champagne mogul, or will her dream be crushed by Napoleon himself?
