She also took up the family wine business and has a collection under grandfather Francis Ford Coppola’s winery. Some have criticized Coppola for making a French subject so American, but that is not the point, she has created an accessible historical biopic, that people of MARIE-ANTIONETTE's age could enjoy and relate to. Elegant in character, this wine is lightly textured and vibrant through the finish.
