Volume 1 – In Search of the Perfect Wine

In this first installment, we are introduced to Manu, a passionate winemaker from the Mâconnais, obsessed like his father before him with the idea of creating a great wine of Burgundy. He is convinced that the Clos de la Molle Pierre, today lying fallow on the heights of Cruzille, is a forgotten terroir with immense potential.

While he is considering buying this vineyard, a friend gives him a batch of old anonymous bottles. Among them, a vintage of 1959 upsets Manu: the emotion of an unforgettable tasting, the certainty of having found the purest expression of the Burgundian terroir.

It's decided: he will find the origin of this bottle, the Grape varieties used, their cultivation method, their exhibition, to replant the lost vineyard identically, in memory of his father. An intimate and oenological quest then begins, between history of wine, , mapping of terroirs, and genetic research original plants.

Volume 2 – A Family Affair

The second volume immerses us in the heart of the family dilemmas surrounding the winemaking life. The three Jaffres brothers, heirs of a Mâconnais wine region, struggle to keep the family business afloat.

But a scourge threatens to compromise their future: an invasion of Leafhoppers, disease vector insects, requires by prefectural decree to pull up a third of the vineyard. The verdict is cruel: to survive, one of the brothers must leave the estate.

Faced with the impossibility of deciding, it is their mother who must write a name on a piece of paper. A heartbreaking gesture that marks a turning point in this family saga, a mirror of many realities in the world of the Burgundy wine : the difficulty of transmitting, the painful choices, the desire to preserve a wine heritage facing adversity.
