Bubbles!
Come quickly! I am tasting the stars!
Follow me.
Very beautiful.
Absolutely.
Wait.
I know this sounds crazy.
And I know you don't understand a word that I'm saying.
But I just want to spend time with you.
I want to get to know you.
And if you accept my invitation tonight...
I promise to show you why this is the most magnificent city in the world.
Follow me.
Good luck.
Henri. That's enough.
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
May I offer you wine, cheese, or coffee?
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to Château Cassell.
Philippe, where's Hugo?
Monsieur Cassell is running late, I'm afraid.
Important business.
He sends his apologies and will join you all for dinner tonight.
Anyone?
Hello, Bubbles!
I didn't hear you pull up.
It's because I got a new electric Peugeot.
You should give it a spin this weekend.
It's fast.
Ooh. I like fast.
Yes, I know.
Your guests have arrived.
I was just showing them to their rooms.
Where is the Grinch?
Out in the barn.
Still trying to turn a lemon into lemonade.
I'll be right back.
Ready to admit defeat?
Never!
You'll see. It will be the pride of the Épernay auto show.
You say that every year.
And every year it dies before it even leaves the barn.
Not this year.
The Citroën will ride again. I guarantee it!
How was the drive?
Easy. I entered the address and the car chose the best route.
Where's the fun in that?
It's called progress.
Maybe you've heard of it?
Is everyone here?
Yes, apparently.
And what's this all about?
You never host on the holidays.
How would you know?
You haven't been home for three Christmases.
You wouldn't be home now if not for the merger.
And Sydney Price.
What does that mean?
I saw the way you looked at her.
Passion looks good on you.
Honestly, do you really want to end up like Château Laberge?
That was a young Bordeaux on the wrong side of the Garonne.
This is a legacy Champagne with centuries of history to its name!
Legacy means nothing to them!
Who are you to talk about legacy
when you refuse to carry on mine!
This isn't about me!
Well, it should be!
I am surrounded by imbeciles.
Good evening, everyone.
Hugo, my father worked in the vineyards, just like yours.
You agree with me that Château Cassell must remain in France
because Champagne belongs in French hands like ours.
Of course.
"Who doesn't advance, goes backwards."
Festival of Light!
Brigitte, come with me.
There's always next year for you.
Yes, there's always next year, Brigitte.
Merry Christmas.
Good night to you all.
Good night, Brigitte.
Good night.
Good night, Sydney.
You too, Brigitte.
Also you, Henri.
Henri, are you ready?
Brigitte, do you remember this?
What do you think?
Ready... Set... Go.
-Winner! -Winner!
Winner!
Very bizarre.
So, as you can see, once Terrebonne acquires Château Cassell,
your Champagne will be distributed across a wide range of territories,
especially throughout the Asian market, including Singapore,
South Korea, and India,
where Champagne sales have significantly increased in recent years...
Hugo, are you okay?
Excuse me, please go on.
The good news
is that Terrebonne will help you overcome the market-entry trade barriers
that have been a challenge for all the French leaders...
Henri and Sydney, you take the cellars. You know them better than anyone.
There you are!
Naughty boy.
Your mother and I used to sit out here every night after dinner.
I remember.
May I join you?
Do you remember playing tag in the vineyard?
Both of you laughing so hard that you could barely breathe...
You still think about those days?
I think about them all the time.
There's something I want to tell you.
Something I should have told you a long time ago...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I couldn't be stronger for you when you needed me.
But I want you to know that I'm here for you now.
And I will always be here...
if you just give me the chance.
I know you always wanted me to take on Château Cassell.
But I have to find my own way.
I'm sorry, Papa.
I couldn't wish more for you than for you to follow your own path.
What's gotten into you?
Yeah. She does that...
Papa, are you sure about this?
You're both crazy. You know that?
In this business, you have to be.
What do we do now?
We drink.
Go join your son.
Are you going to tell me what a fool I am for going with Roberto?
I'm the fool.
I've made a terrible mistake with Sydney.
Yes, you have.
So, what are you doing to do about it?
What do you want me to do?
It's too late for me...
It's better late than never.
Go.
Hurry.
I like it fast!
What's going on?
I don't have a car.
How?
Excuse me. Good morning.
I'm here to see one of your guests. Sydney Price.
I will check on that.
I'm sorry, but Mademoiselle Price already checked out this morning.
I might have an idea for you.
Merry Christmas, everybody!
Merry Christmas, my love.
