Fact or fiction?

Nope - not Dom Foodie, Veuve. This one I'll put money on.

Dom is responsible for a number of things including the the cork, the cage and the blending of grapes from different lots for the cuvee.

It was Veuve (means widow)who kept the vineyards operating after husbands death (un heard of!) called to her field hand in the middle of the night and asked him to cut holes in her drawing room table. Table then set at different angles.

That's why they are called the King and Queen of Champagne. Both contributed to the wonderful bubbles we so love today.
