Litres et Ratures : quand la BD visite la Côte de Beaune (French edition) by G. Newman, P. Glesser & L. Battistini

Litres et Ratures: When Comics Visit the Côte de Beaune is a unique work that combines two passions: wine and comics. What if your favorite comic heroes, such as Popeye, Zorro, Babar, or Betty Boop, strolled through the prestigious vineyards of the Côte de Beaune? This is what Greg Newman, a renowned writer, and talented illustrators Pierre Glesser and Laurent Battistini propose in this quirky and gourmet adventure.

Embark on an original journey where 16 major figures of comics meet iconic wine villages like Aloxe-Corton, Beaune, Meursault, Pommard, and many others. Each page of Litres & Ratures is an invitation to a visual and narrative tasting, where the humorous traits of the characters blend with the richness of the Côte de Beaune terroirs.

This work is enriched by a preface by Morgane Aubert, a comic book specialist, and an afterword by Michel Crestanello, an expert in Burgundy wine. They provide scholarly and passionate insights into this unexpected marriage between comics and the wine world.

The authors, accustomed to bringing comic book icons like Shrek, Blake & Mortimer, Zorro, and Popeye to life, add a new dimension to their work by combining humor and homage to the art of wine.

Through their adventures, our heroes travel through famous villages such as Chassagne-Montrachet, Volnay, Puligny-Montrachet, and Santenay, exploring the different climates of the region while offering situations as comical as they are unexpected. Imagine Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson tasting a glass of Corton-Charlemagne, or Robin Hood engaged in a discussion over a Meursault.

This improbable and delightful encounter between comics and Burgundy wines makes Litres & Ratures a book to savor without moderation, whether you are a wine lover or a comic book enthusiast.
