Wine lovers, you will be served with the documentary series The vine is beautiful, which explores Quebec vineyards and introduces the artisans behind them, in addition to dissecting the issues related to viticulture. The episodes directed and thought out by Pascal Brouard shed light on the production chain necessary to make a wine, precisely in a climate like that of Quebec.
The series begins in winter – a restful and quiet season for winegrowers – before spreading out over the entire year. This applies to explaining the impact of the duration and intensity of these seasons, distinct from those in Europe, on production. The 45-minute episodes also explain that the practice of viticulture is young in Quebec. Expertise thus remains to be developed, as do techniques that are not acquired or entrenched, as may be the case in centuries-old European vineyards.
The public will be able to discover a multitude of winegrowers and winegrowers with diverse opinions, particularly regarding the adoption of a green, more ecological practice. Despite their differences in methods and postures, they all remain particularly relevant and eloquent.
An effervescent universe in Quebec, viticulture is gaining ground, but also gaining recognition, if only for its practice, which is so different from elsewhere. The particular climate and the dedication of the craftsmen can only give a tasty wine, which will be even more so if you know how it is bottled.
