Résumé
In the shadow of the abbey of La Sauve, with his eyes fixed on the distant Landes, Benjamin Cooker accepts an expert mission which proves to be delicate and could damage his reputation. An old Californian billionaire, a desperately platinum blonde, a Quebec lawyer who is a little too jovial, an incendiary Portuguese woman, a corpse buried too quickly, he breathes an air of duplicity over the vineyards of Guyenne. Over the seasons, interests intertwine, ambitions intertwine, destinies collide and human beings tear each other apart. Driven by the moods of the times, the Bordeaux oenologist and his assistant Virgile will end up unraveling the threads of an enigma that navigates between two continents, between light and darkness, between two waters.
