It stars Fleur Geffrier as Camille, the daughter of late wine collector Alexandre Léger. (The character of Camille appears to be adapted from the character of Shizuku Kanzaki in the original manga.) The series will also star Tomohisa Yamashita as a brilliant young oenologist and Alexandre Léger’s “spiritual son.”

Learn about legendary bottles as well as affordable secrets while enjoying a page-turner that’s not about superheroes but people with jobs to keep. When world-renowned wine critic Kanzaki passes away, his will reveals that his fortune of a wine collection isn’t bequeathed as a matter of course to his only son, who in a snub went to work sales at a beer company. To come into the inheritance, Shizuku must identify—in competition with a stellar young critic—twelve heaven-sent wines whose impressions the will describes in flowing terms…
