The spectacular saga of the first of France's "Champagne Widows", Barbe-Nicole Clicquot. With a rare gift known as "Le Nez" (The Nose), Barbe-Nicole is able to create incredible blends and smell "the stench of lies, or the fragrance of a pure heart. Or the heartbreaking scent of unfulfilled hope." In addition to this gift, she has the courage and self-confidence to overcome unimaginable difficulties during the Napoleonic Code, which left widows without property rights - and in Barbe-Nicole's case, without her winery, without her champagne. The plot, skillfully intertwined with Napoleon's historical letters, transports the reader to the height of the turbulent French life of the early 19th century, when Barbe-Nicole Clicquot-Ponsardin created her empire - the great empire of champagne.
