The film interweaves montage studies and interviews locating culture at the intersection of language, image, and sound. In particular the film concentrates on the life of winemakers in two villages, Vosne Romanee, in the famous Cote de Nuits, and Bouzeron, in the less prestigious Cote Chalonaise.

Filming started in January 2010, and was set in several locations, from the region of Mâcon and Burgundy, to the Loire Valley and Languedoc, in close contact with vintners who, day after day, express their opinion as to how to best tend vines, using a sustainable approach respectful of the terroir. The Bret Brothers (Domaine de la Soufrandière), Olivier Jullien (Mas Jullien), Thierry Germain (Domaine des Roches Neuves), Aubert de Villaine (Domaine de la Romanée-Conti) , and Nicolas Rossignol (Domaine Rossignol-Trapet) are just a few of the contributing actors in this passionate and political film, which looks at the world of wine from a new perspective.

We have a copy at home, and have loaned it out to the enjoyment of many.

The story line was much more interesting and have seen the movie several times. I saw “Sideways” once, and that was too much.

we just had a “Wine Week” here in Brussels and one of the features was wine-related movies. Yu can see the programme here http://visitbrussels.be/bitc/BE_en/minisite_wineweek/culture/38014/filmo-vino.do

Another movie I remember is the Comet Year http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105871/ – and also that about wine in California after the war with Keanu Reeves…http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114887/ here it is. I love to see how mixed the community is (Italians, German, Mexicans…), and how they re-plant the vineyard with pre-phylloxera cuttings.

best,

Luca
