1
00:00:19,142 --> 00:00:22,396
Let's see
what's so special about this wine.
2
00:00:43,292 --> 00:00:45,836
A blend of Schiava and Pinot Noir.
3
00:00:47,004 --> 00:00:51,508
Its freshness comes from a limestone soil
which is as cold as marble.
4
00:00:52,843 --> 00:00:53,844
But…
5
00:00:54,678 --> 00:00:55,679
But?
6
00:00:57,890 --> 00:01:01,852
I can't taste any peach,
quince or jasmine.
7
00:01:03,353 --> 00:01:07,024
I have no idea what this "link" is about.
8
00:01:09,526 --> 00:01:11,111
I would have been incapable.
9
00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:14,823
I really don't know how Camille did it.
10
00:01:16,325 --> 00:01:18,118
In truth, I feel a bit overwhelmed.
11
00:01:22,956 --> 00:01:25,000
She scares you?
12
00:01:27,753 --> 00:01:28,754
Yes.
13
00:01:29,713 --> 00:01:32,925
She seems to be able to sense
things that I don't understand.
14
00:01:34,885 --> 00:01:38,305
It's in her nature.
15
00:01:40,182 --> 00:01:46,980
Well, I think you need to be free
and relax a bit.
16
00:02:01,828 --> 00:02:02,829
I see.
17
00:02:04,706 --> 00:02:05,707
Yes.
18
00:02:06,875 --> 00:02:08,459
An orchard during springtime.
19
00:02:09,962 --> 00:02:14,716
The sun and many flowers.
20
00:02:18,679 --> 00:02:23,976
Peach, quince and jasmine.
21
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,730
I lift up a stone,
22
00:02:30,399 --> 00:02:35,612
and I find the link.
23
00:02:36,989 --> 00:02:40,367
The unbreakable bond of love.
24
00:02:41,118 --> 00:02:42,327
Filial love,
25
00:02:42,911 --> 00:02:44,538
romantic love.
26
00:02:45,205 --> 00:02:49,585
Every kind of love is here.
27
00:02:50,419 --> 00:02:51,461
Yes.
28
00:02:52,921 --> 00:02:54,756
Of course, it's obvious.
29
00:03:00,804 --> 00:03:02,848
Casa dei Fossati.
30
00:03:06,602 --> 00:03:08,312
You see, it's not complicated.
31
00:03:08,395 --> 00:03:09,438
Make an effort.
32
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,983
You're weird.
33
00:03:30,083 --> 00:03:31,627
- Hey.
- Hey.
34
00:03:31,710 --> 00:03:35,088
We just finished our shift
and thought we might…
35
00:03:35,589 --> 00:03:39,635
Luca told us you're no longer welcome
at his place, so here we are.
36
00:03:40,552 --> 00:03:41,678
Come on in.
37
00:03:43,472 --> 00:03:44,848
- In the back.
- Okay.
38
00:03:51,980 --> 00:03:53,232
I heard everything.
39
00:03:55,442 --> 00:03:56,777
He's a piece of shit.
40
00:03:58,153 --> 00:04:01,448
He'd kill me if he knew that
I'm telling you this, but…
41
00:04:02,199 --> 00:04:03,367
whatever.
42
00:04:04,660 --> 00:04:06,411
I know this from my dad.
43
00:04:06,954 --> 00:04:08,789
Luca, over the last few years…
44
00:04:08,872 --> 00:04:12,709
He's been buying vineyards
all over the world for nothing.
45
00:04:13,377 --> 00:04:16,797
Then, when the properties appear
in the guide, well,
46
00:04:17,297 --> 00:04:22,594
their value just goes up and up,
and my uncle makes tons of money.
47
00:04:22,678 --> 00:04:25,180
Wait, the properties appear in the guide?
48
00:04:25,264 --> 00:04:29,518
Yep.
My uncle has a 45% stake in the guide.
49
00:04:30,519 --> 00:04:32,312
He bought it from Fusier.
50
00:04:33,355 --> 00:04:35,065
Nobody knows that.
51
00:04:35,774 --> 00:04:38,569
So he can actually decide which wines
appear in the guide or not.
52
00:04:38,652 --> 00:04:39,653
Yes.
53
00:04:40,153 --> 00:04:41,321
That's fucking illegal.
54
00:04:41,989 --> 00:04:45,534
And he knows that the Léger Guide
without a Léger…
55
00:04:46,076 --> 00:04:48,912
Well, not as sexy.
56
00:04:50,247 --> 00:04:53,000
That's why he pulled out
the red carpet for you, Camille.
57
00:04:53,834 --> 00:04:55,711
To keep bringing in the money.
58
00:04:56,545 --> 00:04:58,005
Elisabetta was right.
59
00:05:00,215 --> 00:05:04,094
The guide is poison.
It does no good to anyone.
60
00:05:05,554 --> 00:05:06,930
You were right to say no.
61
00:05:08,724 --> 00:05:10,434
Why didn't you tell me this before?
62
00:05:11,476 --> 00:05:12,644
It's my uncle.
63
00:05:13,687 --> 00:05:16,398
He's the only one who helped me
when my father kicked me out.
64
00:05:22,112 --> 00:05:23,655
What about my father?
65
00:05:24,448 --> 00:05:25,657
Did he know?
66
00:05:25,741 --> 00:05:27,159
No idea.
67
00:05:27,951 --> 00:05:29,202
I swear.
68
00:05:29,870 --> 00:05:32,331
I never heard him talk about money
with Luca.
69
00:05:34,499 --> 00:05:35,584
Okay.
70
00:05:39,546 --> 00:05:40,547
Well,
71
00:05:41,715 --> 00:05:44,176
thank you for coming anyway.
72
00:05:45,469 --> 00:05:47,596
Let's drink to your victory, eh?
73
00:05:48,180 --> 00:05:49,223
Yeah.
74
00:05:50,474 --> 00:05:51,808
That's a pop.
75
00:05:51,892 --> 00:05:54,728
It's champagne. Whatever.
76
00:05:57,940 --> 00:05:58,982
Thanks.
77
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:10,702
I have to leave tomorrow for my last test.
78
00:06:12,913 --> 00:06:14,748
Cheers, I guess?
79
00:06:14,831 --> 00:06:15,958
Yeah.
80
00:06:29,137 --> 00:06:30,222
Philippe?
81
00:06:31,473 --> 00:06:32,474
Yes?
82
00:06:32,558 --> 00:06:33,767
There is someone here for you.
83
00:06:33,850 --> 00:06:35,602
- What does he want?
- I don't know.
84
00:06:35,686 --> 00:06:37,437
He wants to speak to you in private.
85
00:06:41,191 --> 00:06:42,359
So what's the matter?
86
00:06:43,402 --> 00:06:45,404
Are you Philippe Chassangre?
87
00:06:45,988 --> 00:06:46,989
Yes.
88
00:06:48,949 --> 00:06:51,618
I have a letter for you.
It is from Mr. Léger.
89
00:07:07,718 --> 00:07:09,219
Do you accept this?
90
00:07:10,804 --> 00:07:11,930
Yes.
91
00:07:17,561 --> 00:07:19,980
Even dead, he's still a pain in the ass.
92
00:07:21,273 --> 00:07:22,316
Damn it!
93
00:07:30,490 --> 00:07:33,160
Mom? What are you doing here?
94
00:07:33,243 --> 00:07:34,912
If you'd answer my calls,
95
00:07:34,995 --> 00:07:37,164
I wouldn't have had to come here.
96
00:07:39,041 --> 00:07:40,292
What do you want?
97
00:07:44,338 --> 00:07:46,423
Hello, young lady.
98
00:07:48,091 --> 00:07:50,427
You're prettier in person than on TV.
99
00:07:51,511 --> 00:07:54,348
You look less vulgar.
100
00:08:22,709 --> 00:08:25,629
I'll leave you with your charming mother.
101
00:08:26,797 --> 00:08:28,382
I'll wait for you next door.
102
00:08:34,346 --> 00:08:36,932
I heard that you lost
the second test today.
103
00:08:39,935 --> 00:08:41,937
There's still time to do the right thing.
104
00:08:42,020 --> 00:08:43,355
But it's your last chance.
105
00:08:44,439 --> 00:08:46,316
Apologize to your grandfather.
106
00:08:49,820 --> 00:08:50,862
Apologize?
107
00:08:52,197 --> 00:08:53,197
Why?
108
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,617
So that our family can get back in order.
109
00:08:57,369 --> 00:09:00,205
Did you love your husband?
110
00:09:01,498 --> 00:09:04,835
I don't have to answer that question.
111
00:09:06,795 --> 00:09:11,925
You had an affair
with your professor, Alexandre Léger,
112
00:09:12,009 --> 00:09:14,636
when you were a student,
and you got pregnant.
113
00:09:16,013 --> 00:09:20,976
Whether he left you or you left him,
I don't know.
114
00:09:21,476 --> 00:09:24,855
Anyway, you took advantage of your friend,
115
00:09:24,938 --> 00:09:27,232
Hirokazu, who loved you,
just to save face.
116
00:09:27,816 --> 00:09:32,654
I don't know if you ever even loved him
at all.
117
00:09:33,572 --> 00:09:34,615
Or me.
118
00:09:34,698 --> 00:09:35,991
That's enough.
119
00:09:39,661 --> 00:09:41,622
I came here to help you,
120
00:09:43,123 --> 00:09:45,000
but it seems like
it's none of my business.
121
00:09:46,126 --> 00:09:48,712
This apartment belongs to me.
122
00:09:50,380 --> 00:09:52,132
I want you to leave.
123
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,594
Did you hear me?
124
00:09:57,012 --> 00:09:59,014
Get out!
125
00:10:23,664 --> 00:10:25,791
I feel sorry for you.
126
00:10:27,501 --> 00:10:29,378
When I look at you, it's painful.
127
00:10:33,924 --> 00:10:35,509
One last thing.
128
00:10:36,510 --> 00:10:38,512
He's alive.
129
00:10:40,222 --> 00:10:43,183
But I suppose you're not interested.
130
00:10:50,148 --> 00:10:51,942
Would you like to come with me?
131
00:10:52,818 --> 00:10:55,988
No, I can't. I have to work.
132
00:10:56,071 --> 00:10:58,532
You should go without me.
133
00:11:03,370 --> 00:11:06,373
I'm so sorry I put you through all this.
134
00:11:06,915 --> 00:11:09,751
Did it make you feel better
to let it all out?
135
00:11:58,592 --> 00:12:00,802
Wine is never to be drunk alone.
136
00:12:04,681 --> 00:12:05,849
Do you know why?
137
00:12:13,523 --> 00:12:17,194
When you share it, it creates a link.
138
00:12:18,278 --> 00:12:19,363
A bond.
139
00:12:20,239 --> 00:12:23,325
This place, this wine, the two of us…
140
00:12:24,701 --> 00:12:27,412
It brings us together
for the rest of our lives.
141
00:12:27,913 --> 00:12:32,501
In 20, 30, 50 years…
142
00:12:35,087 --> 00:12:37,965
this moment will remain
in our memories forever.
143
00:12:39,967 --> 00:12:42,344
So, to this moment.
144
00:12:43,470 --> 00:12:45,180
To this wine.
145
00:12:46,473 --> 00:12:47,724
To us.
146
00:12:49,268 --> 00:12:50,310
To us.
147
00:14:43,048 --> 00:14:44,758
I'M HERE
148
00:14:44,841 --> 00:14:46,927
I'M LEAVING TOKYO FOR PARIS
149
00:14:48,762 --> 00:14:50,973
Would you like a glass of champagne?
150
00:14:51,056 --> 00:14:53,475
No, thank you.
151
00:14:57,980 --> 00:15:00,190
GOOD LUCK
152
00:15:18,458 --> 00:15:20,043
Thank you for flying with us.
153
00:15:30,053 --> 00:15:32,639
Sir, would you like a glass of champagne?
154
00:15:32,723 --> 00:15:34,349
Thank you.
155
00:16:03,086 --> 00:16:04,713
I want to apologize.
156
00:16:08,175 --> 00:16:10,552
I was arrogant. I…
157
00:16:10,636 --> 00:16:14,181
I need to sleep.
I have a test to win tomorrow.
158
00:16:32,783 --> 00:16:33,784
Wow.
159
00:16:50,884 --> 00:16:52,886
- Hello. This way, please.
- Hello.
160
00:16:55,180 --> 00:16:56,306
Hello.
161
00:17:05,816 --> 00:17:07,317
Thank you.
162
00:17:07,401 --> 00:17:08,902
Where is he taking my bags?
163
00:17:08,985 --> 00:17:10,654
You'll find them in your bedroom.
164
00:17:10,736 --> 00:17:12,739
Here are your keys. Have a great stay.
165
00:17:12,822 --> 00:17:14,407
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
166
00:17:31,508 --> 00:17:33,010
Seventh floor.
167
00:19:00,764 --> 00:19:02,474
ISSEI
168
00:19:29,418 --> 00:19:31,295
- Hello.
- Hey.
169
00:19:31,837 --> 00:19:34,006
- May I ask you something?
- Sure.
170
00:19:34,089 --> 00:19:35,757
Have you seen this man?
171
00:19:36,925 --> 00:19:40,053
He only stayed here for a few days.
172
00:19:41,054 --> 00:19:42,306
And then?
173
00:20:30,604 --> 00:20:32,731
Miss Léger, Mr. Tomine,
174
00:20:33,690 --> 00:20:34,983
please follow me.
175
00:20:38,737 --> 00:20:42,950
I must warn you
that what comes next is a bit special.
176
00:20:43,867 --> 00:20:48,247
I want to clarify that I was not in charge
of organizing the event.
177
00:20:48,747 --> 00:20:53,168
My role is to verify
that procedures are correctly followed.
178
00:20:53,961 --> 00:20:56,964
I would've opted for
a little more sobriety.
179
00:20:57,965 --> 00:20:59,007
Excuse me.
180
00:21:00,425 --> 00:21:02,094
- Thank you.
- Good luck.
181
00:21:18,193 --> 00:21:20,237
Hello. Let me introduce myself.
182
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:21,572
I'm Benjamin Keller.
183
00:21:21,655 --> 00:21:24,575
I'm a journalist, and I've been asked
to present today's test.
184
00:21:24,658 --> 00:21:26,702
Really exciting, isn't it?
185
00:21:28,787 --> 00:21:31,373
Right. Which is Issei? Which is Camille?
186
00:21:31,999 --> 00:21:33,667
No, I'm joking. Relax.
187
00:21:33,750 --> 00:21:35,460
Everything will be fine.
188
00:21:35,544 --> 00:21:37,880
Follow me. I'll take you to your seats.
189
00:21:41,884 --> 00:21:43,427
- I have a question.
- Yeah?
190
00:21:43,927 --> 00:21:46,346
Yeah, me too.
191
00:21:47,097 --> 00:21:48,098
What's all this shit?
192
00:21:48,724 --> 00:21:50,809
I know. It's great, isn't it?
193
00:22:06,241 --> 00:22:07,367
You're here.
194
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,411
You're here.
195
00:22:20,380 --> 00:22:21,590
Hello, everyone,
196
00:22:21,673 --> 00:22:23,300
and welcome.
197
00:22:24,426 --> 00:22:28,305
We're about to take part in
an exceptional event.
198
00:22:28,889 --> 00:22:34,186
This decisive test is between Issei Tomine
and Camille Léger.
199
00:22:35,145 --> 00:22:36,271
The stakes:
200
00:22:36,855 --> 00:22:40,150
Alexandre Léger's inheritance,
or more specifically,
201
00:22:40,692 --> 00:22:45,656
his collection
of 87,000 exceptional bottles of wine,
202
00:22:46,156 --> 00:22:50,035
the biggest and most prestigious
wine cellar in the world.
203
00:22:55,082 --> 00:22:59,169
Alexandre Léger devised three rounds
for this ultimate test.
204
00:22:59,962 --> 00:23:03,298
Two will take place here
in this wonderful setting.
205
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,385
The third will take place in a more…
206
00:23:07,135 --> 00:23:08,679
confidential setting.
207
00:23:09,388 --> 00:23:10,681
But first of all,
208
00:23:11,181 --> 00:23:14,142
I would like to thank
the Fusier Publishing House
209
00:23:14,226 --> 00:23:16,687
who organized this prestigious event.
210
00:23:16,770 --> 00:23:18,355
Ladies and gentlemen,
211
00:23:18,438 --> 00:23:20,649
please welcome Mr. Luca Inglese,
212
00:23:20,732 --> 00:23:24,945
Alexandre Léger's loyal friend
and co-director of the Léger Guide.
213
00:23:38,375 --> 00:23:39,376
Hello, everyone.
214
00:23:40,961 --> 00:23:45,215
I had the privilege of being
by Alexandre's side until the end.
215
00:23:46,466 --> 00:23:49,386
He was obsessed by one question.
216
00:23:50,846 --> 00:23:53,932
Who would take up the torch
after he's gone?
217
00:23:54,933 --> 00:23:59,980
Who would be capable of ensuring
that his creation would live on?
218
00:24:01,940 --> 00:24:05,068
Death didn't give him time
to answer this question.
219
00:24:08,989 --> 00:24:10,073
This is why
220
00:24:10,824 --> 00:24:13,911
Jacques Fusier and I came up with
221
00:24:13,994 --> 00:24:19,374
an idea which…
I believe would have pleased him.
222
00:24:20,626 --> 00:24:24,796
The one who wins this test
will be the chosen one,
223
00:24:25,339 --> 00:24:30,135
and in our eyes,
Alexandre's legitimate successor.
224
00:24:30,844 --> 00:24:34,723
We will therefore offer the winner
of this ultimate test
225
00:24:34,806 --> 00:24:37,226
the chance to lead the Léger Guide.
226
00:24:37,809 --> 00:24:41,104
He or she will become editor-in-chief.
227
00:24:41,188 --> 00:24:44,524
He or she will have complete authority.
228
00:24:45,150 --> 00:24:50,030
We will blindly trust in their instinct,
talent and choices.
229
00:24:52,741 --> 00:24:54,618
Because let's not forget:
230
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,913
the Léger Guide is not just a name.
231
00:24:58,997 --> 00:25:00,499
Above all else,
232
00:25:00,582 --> 00:25:02,417
it is an ethos.
233
00:25:03,627 --> 00:25:04,962
Thank you.
234
00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:12,386
Beside Luca Inglese,
235
00:25:12,469 --> 00:25:16,390
our distinguished jury will consist of
Flor Peres,
236
00:25:16,473 --> 00:25:18,308
the three-starred restaurant chef…
237
00:25:18,392 --> 00:25:19,392
Good luck.
238
00:25:21,562 --> 00:25:28,360
…and Anthony Norton,
voted best sommelier in the world in 2019.
239
00:25:32,489 --> 00:25:34,616
And now, for the first round,
240
00:25:34,700 --> 00:25:38,787
we have a series
of wine general knowledge questions.
241
00:25:40,122 --> 00:25:41,415
Ready?
242
00:25:43,083 --> 00:25:47,004
Which of these grape varieties
is not authorized in Champagne?
243
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:52,342
Arbanne, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, César.
244
00:25:52,426 --> 00:25:53,802
César.
245
00:25:53,886 --> 00:25:55,804
César is the right answer.
246
00:25:59,641 --> 00:26:01,935
Again, in Champagne,
247
00:26:02,019 --> 00:26:05,355
how many villages
are classified premier cru?
248
00:26:05,439 --> 00:26:06,523
Forty-two.
249
00:26:06,607 --> 00:26:07,941
Right answer.
250
00:26:09,610 --> 00:26:14,323
There are 42 premier crus in Champagne,
as well as 17 grand crus.
251
00:26:15,073 --> 00:26:20,787
Which bottle was the top-ranking bottle
in the first Léger Guide in 1993?
252
00:26:20,871 --> 00:26:25,500
Meursault Premier Cru Les Perrieres,
Domaine Leroy, 1973.
253
00:26:25,584 --> 00:26:26,668
Correct answer.
254
00:26:34,301 --> 00:26:38,847
Which bottle chosen
by Alexandre is systematically served
255
00:26:38,931 --> 00:26:42,809
at the Élysée at diplomatic dinners
with the German chancellors?
256
00:26:42,893 --> 00:26:49,691
An Alsace Gewurztraminer Fronholz
late harvest wine, Domaine Ostertag, 1997.
257
00:26:49,775 --> 00:26:50,776
No.
258
00:26:57,449 --> 00:26:58,951
An Egon Müller…
259
00:26:59,534 --> 00:27:03,163
Scharzhofberger
Trockenbeerenauslese, 1991.
260
00:27:03,247 --> 00:27:04,456
Correct.
261
00:27:06,959 --> 00:27:10,879
Where is the Walla Walla Valley located?
262
00:27:10,963 --> 00:27:12,506
- United States.
- Correct.
263
00:27:17,302 --> 00:27:22,266
Which is the dominant grape variety
in the Barolo appellation?
264
00:27:22,849 --> 00:27:24,810
- Nebbiolo.
- Correct.
265
00:27:33,485 --> 00:27:39,992
Along which river and which riverbank
does the Canon-Fronsac AOP lie?
266
00:27:41,326 --> 00:27:42,411
Dordogne.
267
00:27:42,953 --> 00:27:44,121
Right Bank.
268
00:27:44,871 --> 00:27:46,081
Correct answer.
269
00:27:54,548 --> 00:28:00,554
Which grape represents
about 95% of famous wine?
270
00:28:01,138 --> 00:28:02,347
Cabernet.
271
00:28:03,181 --> 00:28:04,600
Correct answer.
272
00:28:11,732 --> 00:28:14,192
Follow me, please.
Your lunch is waiting for you.
273
00:28:25,829 --> 00:28:26,955
What now?
274
00:28:56,568 --> 00:28:58,111
Congratulations.
275
00:28:58,737 --> 00:29:01,031
You were brilliant. Of course.
276
00:29:03,367 --> 00:29:04,409
Thank you.
277
00:29:06,662 --> 00:29:09,998
But that's all theory. Academic.
278
00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:13,585
I can't wait for the next round.
279
00:29:14,294 --> 00:29:15,379
Seriously?
280
00:29:16,588 --> 00:29:17,923
We are so different.
281
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:33,814
Sorry about this little staging.
282
00:29:34,523 --> 00:29:37,985
I would like to welcome you
to the next part of the contest.
283
00:29:38,068 --> 00:29:40,946
This is a food and wine matching test.
284
00:29:41,029 --> 00:29:44,741
You now have to find the wines
that pair up with each meal.
285
00:29:44,825 --> 00:29:47,619
The restaurant cellar will be open to you.
286
00:29:47,703 --> 00:29:49,663
I imagined a meal for you.
287
00:29:49,746 --> 00:29:53,500
Inspired by my numerous encounters
with Alexandre Léger.
288
00:29:54,126 --> 00:29:56,503
This menu reflects his taste.
289
00:30:00,632 --> 00:30:01,842
First dish.
290
00:30:01,925 --> 00:30:06,346
Scallop carpaccio, pig's trotters,
and Pantelleria capers
291
00:30:06,430 --> 00:30:08,056
with a citrus sauce vierge.
292
00:30:08,140 --> 00:30:09,391
Enjoy.
293
00:30:18,984 --> 00:30:20,027
For the first course,
294
00:30:21,028 --> 00:30:23,447
I thought about the way
the food was prepared.
295
00:30:23,989 --> 00:30:26,366
Raw scallops taste of iodine,
296
00:30:26,450 --> 00:30:29,036
and the pork fat highlights the subtlety
297
00:30:29,119 --> 00:30:31,955
between the sea breeze and an earthy wind.
298
00:30:32,581 --> 00:30:35,876
I see a vineyard
coming from ancient Greece.
299
00:30:35,959 --> 00:30:38,128
The beautiful island of Santorini.
300
00:30:39,713 --> 00:30:42,424
I chose an Assyrtiko, 2015.
301
00:30:49,973 --> 00:30:56,063
I'm a 29-year-old writer
who still lives with her mother.
302
00:30:56,146 --> 00:30:57,773
Her cooking is…
303
00:30:58,815 --> 00:30:59,816
simple.
304
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,902
Thanks, Mom.
305
00:31:02,527 --> 00:31:04,446
So a cuisine that…
306
00:31:07,074 --> 00:31:13,121
blends land and sea seems weird to me,
almost contradictory.
307
00:31:13,205 --> 00:31:16,208
But then I tasted this wonderful dish.
308
00:31:17,459 --> 00:31:20,337
This dish creates a paradoxical harmony.
309
00:31:20,420 --> 00:31:22,047
Delicate, yet strong.
310
00:31:22,130 --> 00:31:25,259
It made me think of
the thousand-year-old Georgian vineyards.
311
00:31:25,968 --> 00:31:29,972
The orange wine produced there
is a paradox in itself.
312
00:31:30,055 --> 00:31:34,268
So my first pairing
is a Ramaz Nikoladze, 1998,
313
00:31:34,351 --> 00:31:37,854
from Titska
and Tsolikouri grape varieties.
314
00:31:45,737 --> 00:31:46,822
Camille?
315
00:31:48,657 --> 00:31:49,866
Are you okay?
316
00:31:51,577 --> 00:31:53,161
Yeah. It's great.
317
00:31:53,662 --> 00:31:54,663
Just intense.
318
00:31:55,330 --> 00:31:57,332
I'm not used to this kind of food.
319
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,002
Lobster represents excellence.
320
00:32:00,961 --> 00:32:05,215
A delicately cooked crustacean
requires a preeminent white wine
321
00:32:05,299 --> 00:32:07,259
to enhance its elegant flesh.
322
00:32:08,218 --> 00:32:12,180
The hundred-year-old vineyard
from the region of Châteauneuf-du-Pape,
323
00:32:12,264 --> 00:32:15,767
Château de Beaucastel,
produces such a wine:
324
00:32:16,476 --> 00:32:19,563
Roussanne Vieilles Vignes, 2005.
325
00:32:20,439 --> 00:32:21,440
For me…
326
00:32:22,316 --> 00:32:23,984
this is the perfect match.
327
00:32:32,534 --> 00:32:35,913
The few memories I have of my father…
328
00:32:36,830 --> 00:32:39,082
are related to food and wine.
329
00:32:39,875 --> 00:32:41,210
I do remember
330
00:32:41,293 --> 00:32:43,295
that when he prepared lobster,
he would say,
331
00:32:43,378 --> 00:32:48,342
"Lobster is blue, but once cooked,
it becomes red like red wine."
332
00:32:48,425 --> 00:32:54,473
And then I asked myself,
which red wine will amplify the flavors
333
00:32:54,556 --> 00:32:57,601
of both the lobster
and the porcini mushroom tart?
334
00:32:58,101 --> 00:33:01,813
It led me to think of
the Mataro grape variety
335
00:33:01,897 --> 00:33:04,566
found in the sandy terroirs of California.
336
00:33:05,943 --> 00:33:10,656
The San Benito County
Sandlands Mataro, 2015.
337
00:33:10,739 --> 00:33:15,494
The gentle black currant touch
of this wine transmutes
338
00:33:15,577 --> 00:33:19,456
and becomes
a dried porcini mushroom flavor
339
00:33:19,539 --> 00:33:21,416
once the wine is decanted.
340
00:33:22,668 --> 00:33:27,214
Such a wine speaks to us
of both spring and fall,
341
00:33:28,048 --> 00:33:29,841
the passing of seasons,
342
00:33:31,468 --> 00:33:32,803
the passing of time.
343
00:33:43,146 --> 00:33:46,191
Very nice choice of wine, Mr. Tomine.
344
00:33:46,733 --> 00:33:50,404
As for you,
the wine in itself is remarkable,
345
00:33:50,487 --> 00:33:55,200
but your combination of flavors
is not clear.
346
00:33:55,284 --> 00:33:59,246
Your story about the red color,
passing time,
347
00:33:59,830 --> 00:34:01,456
that means nothing to me.
348
00:34:02,291 --> 00:34:04,543
I am a bit disappointed.
349
00:34:19,266 --> 00:34:20,308
A pavlova.
350
00:34:21,768 --> 00:34:22,978
For this dessert,
351
00:34:23,562 --> 00:34:25,439
I'll propose a rosé champagne.
352
00:34:25,522 --> 00:34:28,442
I've chosen a Fleur de Miraval.
353
00:34:28,525 --> 00:34:32,195
This is a blend of Chardonnays
of various ages.
354
00:34:32,696 --> 00:34:36,658
Fresh and fruity wines stemming from
the Montagne de Reims,
355
00:34:36,742 --> 00:34:40,495
mixed with an infinite, virtuous circle,
356
00:34:40,579 --> 00:34:44,458
and also reserve wines
aged 15 years and over.
357
00:34:44,541 --> 00:34:48,045
The palate is tonic, sharp and salty…
358
00:35:07,898 --> 00:35:09,066
Your turn, Issei.
359
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,215
You're going to lose.
360
00:35:36,635 --> 00:35:39,346
I know why you wanted me
to take over the guide.
361
00:35:40,973 --> 00:35:42,099
And you know what?
362
00:35:42,724 --> 00:35:43,850
Fuck you.
363
00:36:04,997 --> 00:36:06,582
Obviously.
364
00:36:21,263 --> 00:36:22,514
What do you want?
365
00:36:24,766 --> 00:36:27,519
I was wrong to cut off communication
between you and your dad.
366
00:36:28,145 --> 00:36:30,397
It was a stupid mistake.
I was afraid of losing you,
367
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:31,481
but in the end…
368
00:36:33,775 --> 00:36:35,110
Please forgive me.
369
00:36:36,528 --> 00:36:37,988
I'm going to need some time.
370
00:36:38,780 --> 00:36:39,865
Of course.
371
00:36:42,826 --> 00:36:45,329
Except that it seems
I don't have much time left,
372
00:36:45,829 --> 00:36:47,372
according to the doctors.
373
00:36:48,790 --> 00:36:49,791
What?
374
00:36:50,500 --> 00:36:51,668
Mom?
375
00:36:54,254 --> 00:36:55,380
I'm kidding!
376
00:36:57,090 --> 00:36:59,760
I just wanted to see
if you still loved me.
377
00:36:59,843 --> 00:37:01,386
That's not funny at all.
378
00:37:04,806 --> 00:37:06,058
Camille,
379
00:37:06,141 --> 00:37:08,393
I'm so proud of what you're doing.
380
00:37:09,478 --> 00:37:11,605
No matter what, I will be there.
381
00:37:12,439 --> 00:37:14,816
Whatever you wish for, be it near or far,
I'll be there.
382
00:37:15,359 --> 00:37:16,485
You're my daughter.
383
00:37:48,475 --> 00:37:49,685
No!
384
00:37:52,854 --> 00:37:54,189
I said no!
385
00:37:59,570 --> 00:38:01,446
I can't believe this.
386
00:38:07,661 --> 00:38:08,870
What?
387
00:38:08,954 --> 00:38:11,498
Meeting in front of the hotel
in 15 minutes, miss.
388
00:38:11,582 --> 00:38:13,208
A minibus is waiting for you.
389
00:38:13,292 --> 00:38:15,252
The third round is about to begin.
390
00:38:16,670 --> 00:38:17,754
What?
391
00:40:00,357 --> 00:40:02,859
I didn't expect to see you so soon!
392
00:40:02,943 --> 00:40:04,236
Neither did I.
393
00:40:12,327 --> 00:40:13,829
I apologize in advance.
394
00:40:33,432 --> 00:40:35,267
Welcome to your living quarters.
395
00:40:35,350 --> 00:40:37,561
This is where you'll be staying
during the test.
396
00:40:38,478 --> 00:40:40,939
Normally,
this is where the seasonal workers stay.
397
00:40:41,565 --> 00:40:44,026
On the table, there is a mystery bottle
398
00:40:44,693 --> 00:40:46,653
selected by Alexandre Léger himself.
399
00:40:47,154 --> 00:40:50,282
This bottle comes from the domaine,
but neither Philippe,
400
00:40:50,365 --> 00:40:53,076
nor Thomas Chassangre,
here present, know the details.
401
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,287
So, they won't be able to help you.
402
00:40:55,913 --> 00:40:59,708
Moreover,
in order to guarantee their impartiality,
403
00:40:59,791 --> 00:41:03,462
it is strictly prohibited
for them to speak to both of you
404
00:41:03,545 --> 00:41:04,922
until the test is over.
405
00:41:05,005 --> 00:41:07,883
You'll be trying this wine.
You'll identify it
406
00:41:07,966 --> 00:41:09,968
and you will reproduce it.
407
00:41:10,636 --> 00:41:11,637
How?
408
00:41:12,137 --> 00:41:15,891
Until 6:00 p.m. tomorrow,
you'll have access to the whole property,
409
00:41:15,974 --> 00:41:17,768
and in particular, to the winery.
410
00:41:18,602 --> 00:41:23,857
The Chassangre estate has carefully kept
numerous bottles of grape varieties
411
00:41:23,941 --> 00:41:25,484
that haven't been blended.
412
00:41:25,567 --> 00:41:28,528
You'll be authorized to pick among these
413
00:41:28,612 --> 00:41:33,533
in order to reconstitute
the wine you tasted as closely as you can.
414
00:41:34,243 --> 00:41:38,247
The wine that you have blended yourselves
will be blind-tasted by Mr. Chassangre
415
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:41,208
who will give a score to each attempt.
416
00:41:41,291 --> 00:41:45,170
This score will be added to those
of the two Paris tests
417
00:41:45,254 --> 00:41:48,632
and the final tally will be completed
in Japan on our return.
418
00:41:49,132 --> 00:41:51,927
At which point,
we'll be able to declare the winner.
419
00:41:52,928 --> 00:41:54,263
Any questions?
420
00:41:56,181 --> 00:41:57,808
Then we can get started.
421
00:42:20,414 --> 00:42:21,748
Mr. Tomine!
422
00:42:23,333 --> 00:42:25,377
The winery is the other way!
423
00:42:27,045 --> 00:42:28,755
Tomine, huh?
424
00:42:29,923 --> 00:42:33,010
I had clients, a long time ago,
with the name "Tomine."
425
00:42:33,594 --> 00:42:37,097
The young man comes from
a great Japanese family.
426
00:42:37,806 --> 00:42:40,309
By "great family," I mean a great fortune.
427
00:42:41,184 --> 00:42:42,644
Sorry to ask you this,
428
00:42:42,728 --> 00:42:46,023
but do you have anything to eat?
I'm starving. You have no idea.
429
00:42:47,065 --> 00:42:48,191
Yes, I have.
430
00:42:48,275 --> 00:42:49,568
Come with me.
431
00:43:57,219 --> 00:43:58,303
I know you're here.
432
00:44:10,607 --> 00:44:12,985
I know that technically
you can't speak to me,
433
00:44:13,777 --> 00:44:16,196
but I can.
434
00:44:19,366 --> 00:44:20,867
You're handsome.
435
00:44:25,539 --> 00:44:27,165
I think the mystery wine is
436
00:44:27,249 --> 00:44:28,584
a Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 1990.
437
00:44:29,293 --> 00:44:31,920
Which grape variety? Easy.
We know that there are 13.
438
00:44:32,004 --> 00:44:36,758
Grenache, Mourvedre, Vaccarese,
Terret Noir, Muscardin, Clairette,
439
00:44:36,842 --> 00:44:41,847
Piquepoul, Picardan, Roussanne,
Bourboulenc, Syrah, Counoise, Cinsault.
440
00:44:41,930 --> 00:44:44,725
Now, using what ratio?
If I don't use the exact ratio,
441
00:44:44,808 --> 00:44:46,727
it would not be
a Châteauneuf-du-Pape anymore.
442
00:44:47,311 --> 00:44:49,271
It looks like an equation
with 13 unknown elements,
443
00:44:49,354 --> 00:44:50,522
and I am terrible at math.
444
00:44:53,191 --> 00:44:55,027
And I'm talking to myself. Great.
445
00:45:45,285 --> 00:45:46,995
You're wrong about me.
446
00:45:52,543 --> 00:45:53,627
The Italian wine.
447
00:45:54,545 --> 00:45:55,963
Tell me how you found it.
448
00:45:58,757 --> 00:46:00,092
Thirty years ago,
449
00:46:00,175 --> 00:46:01,843
my parents were students.
450
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,138
They had your father as a teacher.
451
00:46:07,307 --> 00:46:09,268
They knew each other very well.
452
00:46:10,519 --> 00:46:13,939
I accidently found
Alexandre's old classes.
453
00:46:14,648 --> 00:46:16,900
He used Fede Galizia's painting.
454
00:46:18,277 --> 00:46:20,237
The wine was already mentioned there.
455
00:46:21,697 --> 00:46:23,490
So I was just lucky.
456
00:46:24,449 --> 00:46:25,659
Very lucky.
457
00:46:28,161 --> 00:46:31,081
Hey, did you find it?
458
00:46:34,877 --> 00:46:37,212
You want to make sure
I'm on the wrong track?
459
00:46:39,339 --> 00:46:42,467
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 1990.
460
00:46:45,804 --> 00:46:48,682
I have no doubt you've found it.
461
00:46:49,725 --> 00:46:53,979
What you've managed to do
in such a short time is incredible.
462
00:46:54,980 --> 00:46:56,398
How did you do it?
463
00:47:04,114 --> 00:47:05,782
I have nothing to do with it.
464
00:47:06,575 --> 00:47:07,576
My…
465
00:47:08,076 --> 00:47:11,121
talent is only down to my genes.
466
00:47:13,123 --> 00:47:14,208
Genes?
467
00:47:15,417 --> 00:47:16,752
Okay.
468
00:47:19,838 --> 00:47:23,091
I see them appear in front of me.
469
00:47:24,384 --> 00:47:25,802
Even when I was a kid.
470
00:47:29,056 --> 00:47:30,390
The wine aromas?
471
00:47:32,601 --> 00:47:35,062
If I focus on them,
472
00:47:35,896 --> 00:47:37,314
I can see them.
473
00:47:39,483 --> 00:47:43,028
Sometimes, it's just colors
474
00:47:43,904 --> 00:47:46,281
or even sounds.
475
00:47:47,032 --> 00:47:48,325
Musical notes.
476
00:47:50,327 --> 00:47:52,955
I do nothing special. It's instinctive.
477
00:47:55,832 --> 00:47:57,167
In my case,
478
00:47:58,210 --> 00:48:00,671
there is nothing instinctive.
479
00:48:01,421 --> 00:48:03,799
Everything is thought through,
480
00:48:05,050 --> 00:48:06,218
considered,
481
00:48:06,885 --> 00:48:08,220
analyzed.
482
00:48:09,930 --> 00:48:13,058
So, you have a superpower.
483
00:48:15,185 --> 00:48:16,311
Yay!
484
00:48:16,395 --> 00:48:17,437
Super Camille.
485
00:48:21,775 --> 00:48:22,859
I'm going to bed.
486
00:48:23,569 --> 00:48:24,820
I'm exhausted.
487
00:48:25,904 --> 00:48:27,906
- See you tomorrow?
- Yeah.
