The comet mentioned in Barbe Nicole’s letters and later used as inspiration for the name of his brand of Champagne is the Great Comet of 1811, officially known as C. /1811 F1.
But he actually died at the age of 88
It was visible to the naked eye for about 260 days that year. At the end of the film, it says that Barbe Nicole died at the age of 89.
The Widow Clicquot is an adaptation of the true story of Madame Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin Clicquot, who was to become famous as “the Grande Dame of Champagne”
Widowed after the suicide of her mentally ill husband, Barbe-Nicole must take on the male hierarchy in order to manage her deceased husband’s vineyard and in the process continue their quest to create something great in a time blocked by Napoleon. trade routes.
I have to say that she looks a lot like Jennifer Lawrence
Haley Bennet was great as Barbe-Nicole, you could feel her strength and grief. The whole cast was fantastic, if you like historical dramas about strong women, I highly recommend it.
