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.
WIDOW CLICQUOT is based on the New York Times bestselling biography, “The Widow Clicquot” by Tilar J. Mazzeo.
Shot entirely on location in France, most of the production took place in Burgundy at the historical Chateau de Beru, with its picturesque vineyards and large manoir, a substitute for the real Verzy, home of the Clicquots, where the world-famous Veuve Clicquot champagne was brought to life in the early 1800’s.
It stars Haley Bennett (Cyrano), Tom Sturridge (Far From The Madding Crowd), Sam Riley (Firebrand), Anson Boom (1917), Leo Suter (Vikings: Valhalla series), Ben Miles (Napoleon), and Natasha O'Keeffe (Peaky Blinders series).
It had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, 2023.
