Liber Pater, le Goût du vin retrouvé (French edition) by Eric Corbeyran & Horne

The graphic novel Liber Pater: The Taste of Rediscovered Wine (French edition) immerses the reader in the fascinating world of Bordeaux wine and its quest for authenticity. Written by Éric Corbeyran and illustrated by Horne, this work, published by Glénat BD, traces the inspiring journey of Loïc Pasquet and his wife Alona, who in 2005, settled in Landiras to embark on the creation of an exceptional wine. Against the grain of modern practices, their objective is clear: to rediscover the essence of wine as it was during the Official Classification of 1855.

Pasquet chooses to favor ancestral methods: horses replace tractors, planting densities are high, and each stage of viticulture is carried out with care to capture the authenticity and taste of fine Bordeaux wines. This respect for traditions and the terroir allows for the creation of a rare and coveted wine, named Liber Pater in homage to the Roman god of wine, Liber Pater, embodying the very spirit of oenology and viticultural heritage.

The wine Liber Pater quickly becomes a world reference, recognized not only for its quality but also for its price, which sometimes reaches great heights. Beyond the wine, Liber Pater: The Taste of Rediscovered Wine is the story of the passion and perseverance of an atypical winemaker, who did not hesitate to train later in life to realize his vision of the perfect wine.

Corbeyran and Horne take us on this adventure with striking illustrations and immersive storytelling. This work joins the great works of oenological comics, in the vein of Les Ignorants by Étienne Davodeau, offering a sincere and captivating dive into the world of oenology and viticulture.
