Vinifera - The Wine of Popes | Eric Corbeyran, Brice Goepfert

The birth of a legendary vineyard. May 7, 1342. During his coronation, Pope Clement VI, known for his love of good wine, throws a huge feast where the nectar flows freely. A few years later, young Benoit returns to his family after interrupting his studies at the university. His father, a vintner in the region of Châteauneuf, hopes that he will take over the family vineyards by his side. But Benoit seems more attracted to commerce and the profession of a broker. It is during a trip to sell his father's production that his path will coincidentally cross that of the sovereign pontiff. Thanks to wine, a unique relationship will develop between the two men.
