In 19th-century France, women werent even allowed to have bank accounts. So it’s extraordinary that twenty-something Madame Clicquot turned her late husbands business into the must-have Champagne of several European courts. Take a sip of their signature Brut and youll see exactly why. This is aged for twice the time legally required. The extra ageing brings biscuity and toasty flavour. It’s rich but balanced by ripe and zingy notes of citrus. Refreshing. Decadent.
