...snowy day, a woman named Vianne Rocher (Binoche) and her daughter Anouk (Victoire Thivisol) arrive in the staid if picturesque French village of Lansquenet.

Aubry uses the obscure grapes fromenteau, arbanne and petit meslier for some of its champagnes. Fleury Pere & Fils adopts organic and biodynamic growing methods, which it claims open "the soil and vines to cosmic influences...
