Description
"Si vis pacem, para vinum" These few words appear in the Treaty of Arras of 1482. How can we put an end to a war that is setting Europe on fire and blood? By sealing the new friendship not with the iron of the barrel, but in a civilized, poetic and powerful sharing. Gift to kings and queens, transported by cart to the table of reconciled empires. And today by cargo or plane... May the history of wine and the earth be as powerful as the history of cruel or clumsy men.
This is Laure Gasparotto's project, to tell us about this land of passage, trade and rivalry: Burgundy. The region that invented wine, scientifically, artistically, in the secret of Cistercian monasteries, mixing Mediterranean and continental influences. Because since the eleventh century, it is here that all the knowledge has been developed, from which were born great wines today legendary ... and inaccessible: Romanée-Conti, Corton Charlemagne, Bâtard Montrachet, Charmes Chambertin, Clos de Vougeot. Burgundy is a gift of the vine and its fruits of treasures, raised by craftsmen of the earth and the plant, discreet enthusiasts, who perpetuate the ancestral geste of the vigneron against the great transformations of the world.
This vineyard classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so described by literature, open and yet well hidden, is worth only by its way of approaching it: feet in the earth, hands at work, palate on the lookout. Laure Gasparotto, Burgundian by adoption and passionate about wine, tells us admirably about her horizon, her stories, her great figures like Lalou Bize Leroy or Aubert de Vilaine. These pages are the joyful and lively praise of a relationship with the world: open but aware of its history, never rinsed or impoverished by a galloping globalization like other wine regions: Burgundy is the France.
