Denis Pommier's conversion to organic growing was a success. He never imagined just how demanding his decision to reconnect with nature would be for himself, his wife, his children, and their domaine. Frost, hail, mildew, heat wave… Starting in 2016, the elements let loose, threatening his commitment. Only at the cost of enormous sacrifice did he overcome these challenges, all without giving up on his organic label.
This book covers a year in Pommier's life, painting a powerful, affecting portrait of a winegrower while drawing readers behind the scenes into daily life in a vineyard, revealing the toil and often bitter hardships that go into a bottle of organic wine.
