This documentary explores France's famed wine-growing region through a range of extraordinary characters and a celebration of the pleasure that defines their lives.

In The Truffle Hunters, Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw immersed us in the sensual, slow-paced world of Italian foragers; the macho, high-spirited Gaucho Gaucho provided a wry and personable look at Argentinean cowboys. Now, it's our good fortune to be led by Dweck and Kershaw into another earthy fantasia—the legendary French wine-making region, known as a world capital of pleasure. 

We meet a memorable gallery of Burgundy characters: a landowner obsessed with his family's legacy, an enthusiastic young worker hoping to start his own vineyard, a female apprentice sommelier learning how to talk about wine and a divorced wine critic going on many hapless dates. The breathtaking, formalist compositions offer us a vivid, slightly absurdist celebration of a group of dreamers, who earn both our love and a fair bit of teasing. Underneath the fun, there's social commentary: wherever we go, class and money still hold the upper hand.
