:26:09
Yeah, Magrez.
I work on all his properties.
:26:14
He's a force of nature.
:26:16
He pours his energy
:26:21
into everything.
:26:22
He created William Pitters:
A huge success, as everyone knows.
:26:26
And now he's interested in wine.
He's headed straight for Aniane.
:26:30
But not the same forest
Mondavi wanted.
:26:33
People often ask me:
:26:35
"Is Depardieu taking up
the Mondavi project?"
:26:44
The people of Aniane reacted
:26:50
against
the globalization of wine.
:26:54

I read it in the papers.
:26:58
I don't really want to know more.

:27:23
right after Mondavi
:27:27
and their differences
with the town,
:27:33
we raised some eyebrows,
inevitably.
:27:37
But we explained ourselves
very clearly on this point.
:27:40
We're creating a project that's
totally different from Mondavi's.
:27:46
Depardieu's presence is a gift.
He's the icing on the cake.
:27:50
Depardieu's a great fan
of my wine, Daumas Gassac.
:27:54
He's said it many times,
in the papers and on TV.

The company I created
with Gérard is called:
