So what happened during the War?
:54:03
Since the Baron was Jewish.
:54:06
- He fled.
- To London.

:54:08
- He went to London.
- With the Free French.

:54:12
And his wife?
:54:15
- H is wife was caught and deported.
- Deported.

:54:20
- She died.
- Died.

:54:22
- In a camp.
- Concentration camp.

:54:25
- Dachau?
- And she was a Catholic!

:54:30
How did merchants in 1940
distinguish

:54:34
between collaborating or not?
:54:37
Was selling wine to the Germans
a form of collaboration?

:54:41
No. It wasn't
considered collaborating.

:54:43
If we hadn't sold wine...
:54:45
- I say "we" because my family
sold to the Germans too -

:54:49
the Germans
would've pillaged it instead.

:54:53
So it was better to sell it to them.
:54:56
Even if they paid with our money.
Money they stole from us.

:55:00
Better sell it to them
than do nothing.

:55:05
And not put the business at risk.
:55:23
To the lab!
:55:25
Stop here,
and get me some cigarillos.

:55:30
Get me the Figaro newspaper.
There's an article on wine.

:55:34
Today, wines are at another level.
:55:38
It's much better.
:55:40
There are the famous critics,
who now rank the wines.

:55:44
That's where the wine consultant
can make a difference.

:55:48
Hand me the cigarillos.
:55:52
For this one here,
we're going to...

:55:56
...micro-oxy genate.
:55:58
Not all wines
are micro-oxy genated.
