The film is based on Peter Mayle's novel "A Good Year" (2004).
Director Ridley Scott developed the main elements of the plot, and then writer Peter Mayle based a book on them, intended to serve as the basis for the film. When the book was published, it turned out that the author's vision differed significantly from Ridley Scott's original ideas, and as a result, the director preferred to film the story as he had initially envisioned it.
The book that Christie borrows from Max to read is "Death in Venice" by the German writer Thomas Mann.
According to director and producer Ridley Scott, all the scenes in France were filmed within an eight-minute drive of his home in Provence, where he periodically lives for the past 15 years.
One of the roles in the film was to be played by Aaron Eckhart, but the actor dropped out of the project at the last moment.
In one scene of the film, Russell Crowe's character picks up a handful of soil in a vineyard, rubs it, and smells it. This is a reference to "Gladiator", which was also made by Crowe and Scott.
