Christina Weiss Lurie

After her husband’s untimely death, Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin Clicquot flouts convention by assuming the reins of the fledgling wine business they had nurtured together. Steering the company through dizzying political and financial reversals, she defies her critics and revolutionizes the champagne industry to become one of the world’s first great businesswomen.

“Inspiring, rousing, and romantic, this biopic about a visionary young widow who built a champagne empire is a historical drama for wine lovers that’s best watched with a glass of bubbly in hand.” – Screen Zealots

“Bennett is superb here, and her unique look for the role makes it appear like she just stepped out of a vintage painting of the time.” – Deadline Hollywood Daily
