Philippe de Tramont is the young son of a village aristocrat and together they drink the Tramont champagne cellars dry in an affair of reckless passion. In 1850s France, their marriage can hardly be contemplated but marry they do to secure the future for their unborn child. Their happiness is short-lived - Philippe dies tragically young. Nicole's pride triumphs over her grief, making the de Tramont's name famous for it's champagne along with her beauty in widow's weeds.
