"It all comes down to succession: how a family can hold together over the course of generations, continuing to build on the success of their vines and their ancestorsWine is one of the rare businesses in which this level of international fame and internal family politics plays out over centuries—unless you consider royalty a business. So, it makes for an unusual sociological study and compelling prose." – Joshua Greene, Wine & Spirits
