Red Obsession
For centuries,
Bordeaux has commanded
in the world of wine -
beguiling kings,
emperors and dictators alike.
While its survival is dependent
on the capricious nature of weather,
its prosperity has always been tied
to the shifting fortunes
of global economies.
As powerful nations rise and fall,
so does the fate of this place.
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You'd better stop the things you do
I said, "Watch out! I ain't lying"
I can't stand it
'Cause you're runnin' around
I can't stand it
'Cause you're puttin' me down
So I...
I put a spell on you
Whoa!
Because you're mine, you're mine
So I So I-I-I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
Hey, yeah
You're mine, yeah
Because you're mine.
I love the history of this place.
I love the fact that it's been here
for hundreds and hundreds of years
and it's endlessly changed
with the buffeting of history
and the buffeting of politics
and the buffetings of taste.
There's a wonderful story, too,
about Samuel Pepys drinking Haut-Brion
in London in a tavern.
That's 350 years ago he
drank that, and he said,
"It's a wine of a most
particular taste," he said,
"of which I know not. "
What exactly makes it so magical
is obviously very difficult to explain,
just because... it's magical.
The first vines
were planted here by the Romans
over 2,000 years ago.
The generations who have
worked this land since
are the custodians of a
reputation built over centuries.
Great
wines - ha! -
they are as rare as great paintings
To make a great wine,
it's not only a great
terroir, a great chteau,
it's a great vintage.
But then it's the
human factor, you know.
You need love.
You need to bring so much love
to your vines, to your vineyard.
When I see on a cluster
of 200 or 300 berries,
I take it like that, you know.
And I know it's not
significant, apparently,
because one berry out of 250 is nothing,
especially when you think of
those thousand... millions
of berries in the vineyard.
But it's the love you bring
through that gesture, you see?
That's very important.
I enjoy the wine so much.
I'm a drinker first, more than a taster.
I drink so much,
that for me it's really
the pleasure of drinking.
I'm not a great taster,
I'm a great drinker.
I could qualify for that, I think.
Maybe you see, because
we are after lunch,
and it's true that I drunk more
than a bottle for lunch myself.
You know, I had guests
and we were seven people.
We had three magnums, so that's OK.
When you taste the fruit,
especially from a block that you know,
you ask it, "I know
you, little vineyard.
"I know what is your soul.
"I know who are you as a character.
"But what do you have
to tell me this year?"
We've been producing
wine here for 400 years,
so it's very important
to understand the
history of such a place,
to understand the identity.
So many people ran
that you really feel it every day.
It's not just a question of 'terroir',
as we say in French,
it's a question of...
a piece of history,
a soul, a style, a DNA.
Protected from
severe Atlantic winds
and warmed by the effects
of the Gironde estuary,
these great estates are endowed
by nature with characteristics
that cannot be found
anywhere else in the world.
When I came here
and they told me these are
the best pieces of land,
I thought, "Sure. " You
know, I mean, "Pebbles. "
But it's true
- it's perfection.
Thanks to the former generations,
they have actually managed
