There is a new doc out called 'Grand Cru'. It covers the life of veteran Burgundy winemaker, Pascal Marchand, as he deals with various weather issues (climate chance) throughout 2016. Marchand came to Burgundy from Quebec as a 21 year old and eventually became known for his biodynamic, organic and throwback approach to grapes. The cinematography is tops and the musical soundtrack choices are arty and interesting---just like Marchand. Some of the factors that influence growers like Marchand may surprise you (the cosmos?).
I am done. The end.

We just watched it on the Documentary Channel on TV, but I do not know where else one might be able to view it. A quick check on Uncle Google revealed trailers, interviews and such, but little else. There is a website, so presumably you could ask the production team PR dept. It is well-worth the effort to get to see coz Pascal & family and friends are not normal winemakers.
