VOICED: Making wine in France's coal belt

The video discusses the transformation of a former coal mining region into a wine country. Olivia, inspired by her childhood memories of slaggy soil, collaborates with winegrowers to plant Chardonnay vines on slag heaps. The region's rich soil and ideal conditions promise a unique wine identity, potentially capturing the coal smell. The first harvest is expected in two years, with a production goal of 2000 bottles. The community is creatively engaged in naming the wine, aiming to honor the region's industrial past.
