00:00Welcome to the vineyards of Versailles.
00:03The most beautiful in all of Champagne.
00:08My darling, I think we might have found the secret to perfect happiness.
00:13I am hopelessly, unequivocally yours.
00:20Francois willed the vines to me because he knew I would never sell.
00:24I will be continuing to care for them myself.
00:27Wine is a very difficult vocation, my dear. You underestimate what it will require of you.
00:31I know what it requires. I've been in the fields for years.
00:34You have one chance. One.
00:37These fields do not need replanting or starting over again.
00:41I disagree. They need to struggle to survive.
00:46I want our Champagne to have structure. Depth.
00:52I do admire you trying to run things as you want, as a woman would.
00:58If we lose these first shoots to frost, we lose the harvest.
01:01No one can force me.
01:05A woman is not capable of running this vineyard.
01:08When I have proceeds, I will send them to you.
01:11A woman is forbidden to run a business under the law.
01:13Her vineyard should be placed in the hands of an experienced executor.
01:17Is this the plan all along?
01:19No, madame. It never occurred to them you would succeed.
01:23So many obstacles ahead. So much at stake.
01:26But there is hope, however unpredictable.
01:31Your instincts have always been so good. Why won't you listen to yourself now?
01:35I don't want to.
01:39No one can sell abroad due to Napoleon's embargoes against his enemies.
01:43I want to stay ahead of him.
01:44Of Napoleon? So you're a criminal at heart?
01:47Human beings are compelled to create, to lay down our lives, however best we can.
01:55It is so that we might uncover the secrets of ourselves.
02:00And that with any luck, one hundred years from now,
02:04someone will know that we were here.
