A Year in Burgundy Page #3
for almost 40 years:
4 generations of wine-makers.
[speaking French]
Now lets try the Farande.
Its my most favorite.
arent they? Or 74?
- Oh, I dont know...
- Careful what you say...
Thats magnificent.
Its a shame to spit it out.
But Martine...
Youve only got one more to taste!
Yes I know.
But its still a shame to spit it out.
I think no-one has a particular gift
at the start.
surrounded by vines and wine and cellars...
...by fathers and grandfathers who talk about wine,
and the aromas and tannins.
I think that,
even as a little child,
even if you dont taste it...
...you start to get a feeling
for wine quite quickly.
By the age of 5 or 6,
Thibault could
identify different wines by their smell.
That one is more mineral.
Very fine.
When I was young it was my passion.
I only went to school because I had to.
When I came home I joined my parents
in the vines and the cellars.
Ive always been fascinated by these huge cellars.
When youre small, to see cellars like these,
which are so beautiful...
When I think of the work that it took...
It was all done by hand,
carved out of the rock...
Its still very closed,
but even so...
When I go to work tomorrow morning in the cellars...
...my eyes will be wide open,
like a child.
When the monks
built these caves,
they built them to last-
as if they knew we'd
still be enjoying the wine, 500 years later.
This is a fortunate land.
The Sane Valley
is incredibly fertile,
though the grapes
prefer the gentle slopes.
The best land of all
for the Pinot Noir is here:
the Cte de Nuits,
north of Beaune.
It's barely 20 miles (32 km) long,
but it may be the most
prestigious wine-growing area in the world.
Here, as in the rest
of Burgundy,
wines are often
named after villages:
Vosne-Romane,
Clos de Vougeot,
Chambolle-Musigny,
Gevrey-Chambertin.
These are picture postcard
locations full of real charm,
because the people who live
in them, for the most part,
are the same families
who've lived in them for hundreds of years.
No two winemakers
are the same, in Burgundy.
This is Bruno Clavelier.
In his spare time, he coaches
young rugby hopefuls.
He used to play
on France's national team,
And, like his father before him,
His winery is less than a mile
from the rugby field.
[speaking French]
So, Martine, this is the Combe Brle vineyard.
These are old vines.
Were just above the village of Vosne-Romane.
Just down there to the right.
The lie of the land lets you see
