On a bluebird Saturday morning in May of 2023, I awoke in the village of Chablis. Peering out my hotel window, I could just distinguish the small moving shapes of workers among the hillsides of leafy vines.

On this particular day, we were focused on a relatively small slice of the map: Northern Burgundy...
