I highly recommend author Rebecca Rosenberg' 2 works on both Widow Cliquot and Madame Pomeroy, the inventer of Brut Champagne. These women bypassed Napoleonic laws and changed how we see both women and wine
Caymus vineyards had a lower priced label of wine. at least this is the way I understand the story
They sold it off to focus on their higher priced wines. they found out that their business was hurting so they bought that label back. They are famous for some of the best wines but not everybody can spend hundreds of dollars per bottle. But I can buy a 20 or $30 bottle and know that I am drinking the peasants version of the king label.
