A sweeping, sun‑drenched vineyard spreads across the rolling hills of La Vigie, a centuries‑old estate owned by the proud Roquevillard family. The opening scene follows François Roquevillard as he drives his harvest crew through vines heavy with dark, glistening grapes, his voice both commanding and good‑natured. The workers—young women in airy skirts, boys tugging at each other’s sleeves, and sturdy oxen pulling loaded carts—move in a practiced rhythm, their laughter and whispered jokes echoing across the rows.
Beneath the idyllic harvest lies a legacy of lawyers, judges and public servants, a lineage that has made the Roquevillards synonymous with justice in their region. Their reputation brings both respect and subtle tension, as whispers of old grudges and looming threats begin to stir. The first act sets the stage for a story where loyalty, tradition, and the land itself will be tested, drawing listeners into a world where every grape‑laden basket carries the weight of family honor.
