Description

A Good Year by Peter Mayle is a charming tale of a man's unexpected inheritance and the journey that follows. Max Skinner, a Londoner, is left his uncle's estate in France, an eighteenth-century chateau and vineyard, after his employers embark on a little asset-stripping of their own. With the promise of sunshine and a new life, Max heads to France, where he discovers a beautiful house, wonderful weather, and a bustling village.

However, the quality of the wine in his vineyard is not what he expected, and he soon realizes that he needs expert help to turn things around. Enter Roussel, a former employee of his uncle's, who is initially resistant to the idea of calling in outside expertise. But when a beautiful Californian arrives unexpectedly at the chateau, help is at hand, and Max's journey becomes a delightful exploration of love, friendship, and the beauty of the French countryside.
