"Burgundy: People with a Passion for Wine is a colorful mosaic of extraordinary stories about people whose lives revolve around the culture, challenges and pleasures of wine, winemaking and French gastronomy in Burgundy's Côte d'Or. The film offers a rare glimpse inside Burgundy's wine industry, dating back to 312 A.D. Burgundy is home to the world's most highly respected and expensive wines, valued by wine investors. The documentary explores the vitality and joie de vivre lifestyle of the people, against the backdrop of the region's oldest, traditional wine celebratory events of the annual Trois Glorieuses; including the Christie's Hospices de Beaune wine auction; La Paulée de Meursault, the exclusive luncheon with some 800 winemakers; interviews with wine celebrities and Michelin-starred chefs; barrel making at Tonnellerie François Frères; a truffle hunting adventure, Burgundian hospitality, harvesting, food-wine pairing and a half-marathon through hilly vineyards and quaint villages."--Container.
