We bought the pre-release DVD called A Year In Burgundy as a Christmas gift to ourselves and watched it last week on a rainy day. For me, it was a transportive film with Martine Saunier, the French wine importer as guide taking us into the hidden Burgundy. Along the way, the film showed us an indepth look at three generations of winemakers, the Morey-Coffinets. In another segment, Christophe Perrot-Mino, owner of a high tech looking winery wears a wet suit to go into his fermentation, whole-body pigeage noting that he can tell by the resistance of the grapes how the wine will evolve. And then there is the vignette with Lalou Bize-Leroy. Lalou Bize-Leroy is an inspiration, as she fastidiously picks out every flawed grape berry from the sorting table before it goes into fermentation. She also climbs a ladder to see her fermentation, and she is in her eighties!
If you are so inclined, here is where you can learn more about the movie:
