About The Winemaker's Wife

In Champagne in 1940, newlywed Inès watches her husband Michel risk everything by aiding the Résistance from their winery, while Céline faces even greater danger as a Jewish woman in occupied France. In 2019, a devastated Liv is taken to France by her grandmother, who carries a hidden connection to Maison Chauveau. The two timelines reveal a story of betrayal, courage, and the long reach of wartime choices.
