  Leaving behind him in the early 1970s, Rymans, the multi-million-pound stationery business that his family had built up in Britain, Nicholas Ryman followed his dream of owning a vineyard and chateau in France. Life was never the same again as one man's fantasy became a reality: of wine and vineculture, his family initiation into the mysteries of village life, a complex power struggle between father and son, and a look at the daily ups and downs of the 400-year-old Chateau de la Jaubertie, Bergerac. Jeremy Josephs is the author of Swastika Over Paris , Dr Jack: Pavement Doctor and Hungerford: One Man's Massacre .
