With Du rouge aux lèvres, Jean-Claude Bonnaud offers an ode to wine and life, blending poetry, reflections, and sensory journeys through the vineyards of France. From the Loire to Médoc, from Alsace to Burgundy, each page reveals the soul of a terroir and the richness of grape varieties. Written with passion and lyricism, this 200-page book invites you to savor wine as an art of living, a shared emotion, and an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
Lipstick is a literary and poetic narrative where Jean-Claude Bonnaud, A journalist and writer, blends his passion for wine with a reflection on life and the emotions it evokes.
Through its pages, the reader is invited to explore:
The Loire Valley, land of Chinon and Vouvray
The Médoc, where Saint-Émilion and Pomerol resonate
TheAlsace, with its gewurztraminers featuring citrus and honey notes
The Burgundy, highlighting cherry and blackcurrant
The Rhône, the Languedoc-Roussillon and the Provence
Each region is evoked through its aromas, landscapes, and symbols, creating a unique sensory mosaic.
This book is infused with a fragrance, a smell, a color: that of the sacred wine, which seals friendship, nurtures reflection, and inspires memory.
The author moves from wine to word, from word to life, creating a Baudelaire's correspondence between sensations and emotions.
Lipstick is both:
A Sensory autobiography
A diving into the wine culture French
A celebration of terroirs and grape varieties
A reflection on theEpicurean art of living
