A Good Year

Author’s Note

This is a work of fiction. The characters and their names are inventions, and have nothing to do with real life. Between the lines, however, there were several real people involved.

For his crucial contribution to the book, I would like to thank Ridley Scott, whose nose for a good story got me started. I was also very fortunate to receive expert advice of an alcoholic nature from Allen Chevalier in the Luberon and Anthony Barton in the Médoc. And Ailie Collins was, as always, a joy to work with.

Mille mercis à tous.
