The Women of Champagne
The Women of Champagne
Wine often feels very much like a mans world, but historically speaking, women are no stranger to the being at the helm of Champagne houses. Barbe-Nicole Clicquot-Ponsardin famously was the first woman to ever run a Champagne house, additionally she made advancements to the winemaking process such as the creation of the riddling table or A-rack, which is still used today over 200 years later! At a time when women couldn’t vote, she paved the way for many to follow with great success. The 19th century was a shining time for women in the region and I believe you can see that same energy today. In honor of the arrival of Hélène Charbaut’s newest release, and International Women's Day just next week, I have selected a few of my favorite female winemakers from Champagne to highlight today!
