Synopsis:

Paul Marseul (Niels Arestrup), owner of a prestigious vineyard in Saint Emilion has a son, Martin (Loran Deutsch), who works with him on the family estate named Clos de l'Abbé. Paul is a demanding and passionate winemaker but is a domineering father. He is not happy that his son may one day succeed him. He dreams of a son who is more talented, more charismatic . . . and more in line with his own aspirations. Things deteriorate as Paul's trusted manager (Patrick Chesnais) is dying of cancer and he returns from California with his brilliant son, Philip (Nicolas Bridet), who is also in the business. Paul sees Philip as his ideal son and turns away from his own flesh and blood.

Arestrup plays Paul de Marseul, a passionate and demanding winemaker unsatisfied with the prospect of his son, Martin (Lorànt Deutsch) taking over his vineyard. He dreams of a more talented one, and finds him in the shape of Phillipe (Nicolas Bridet), the son of his steward, François (Patrick Chesnais). de Marseul lavishes attention and praise on Phillipe, all the time degrading Martin's achievements, eventually inviting Phillipe rather than his own son to attend his investiture in the Legion d'honneur.

The film focuses on the problematic relationship between the chateau owner and his son and on the transmission of heritage and tradition in the world of wine.
