    Drinking extinction: Persan from the last 10 hectares on Earth

    In the 18th century, Persan was considered one of France's best red wines. By the 21st century, only 25 acres existed in the entire world. Nicolas Gonin owns part of the last 10 hectares and spends weekends hunting old vineyards for cuttings. Sixty minutes from Alpe d'Huez, he'll pour you 100% Persan while explaining why some grapes deserve to be saved. You're drinking wine as archaeology, conservation, and obsession.
