Madame Barbe-Nicole Clicquot
If you like champagne, then you must be thankful for this French heiress that invested her fortune in the strange invention – the fermentation method called riddling that led to creating the French bubbly! She once told her grandchildren:
“The world is in perpetual motion, and we must invent the things of tomorrow. One must go before others, be determined and exacting, and let your intelligence direct your life. Act with audacity” … And have capital!
