Arbois

But you can also find some of those same qualities, saline, oyster shell, you can find those qualities in wines that are from landlocked inland regions.

You can find them in, um, in white Burgundy, or you can find them in, uh, like for example, last night I was tasting a, a Chardonnay from, from the Jura, from Arbois, and this definitely had a saline minerality going on to it that I connected to some of these coastal Chardonnays as well.

I mean, slightly different, but in the same register.

And then I investigated the bottle, uh, and the domain a little farther, and this particular parcel that the Chardonnay comes from is a former seabed that was an oyster bed.

right.[sighs] Where are we going, Louis?

To Arbois.

We may have to spend many years in Arbois.

[dramatic music]

The story of Louis Pasteur is the story of the sheepherders and cattlemen of Arbois, in whose cause he spent the next few years.

And because of those years, his story also is the story of the first president of France.

This is the first president of the new Republic of France, President Louis Adolphe Thiers.

How do you suggest we raise the money?

In a wooded area near Gerolstein in Germany on the leftovers of a cookie in a trailer that was forcefully opened in October 2001.

On a toy pistol after the robbery of Vietnamese gemstones in Arbois in France.

On a projectile after a fight between two brothers in...

in 2005 in Worms in Germany.

A devastating plague destroys our cattle.

Efforts to raise money have failed everywhere except in one small province, Arbois.

But if Arbois can't pay, why not the others?

For some reason, their cattle haven't been affected by this plague, this disease the doctors call anthrax.

Then what is the reason? Every animal saved will buy back some Frenchman's liberty and

We believe it is the fields of this province...

They must be immune to the disease.

We would suggest that cattle from the other provinces be driven to Arbois, there to feed upon the good pastures and be kept in healthful condition.
