The Wine and Me (French Edition) By Jacques Dupont

The Wine and Me by Jacques Dupont is a deeply personal, scholarly, and humorous work that explores the world of wine from a rare angle: that of feeling, of the moment, and of the soul. Here, no heavy oenological jargon, but rather sensory images and finely crafted metaphors to express the beauty of a wine that, while not perfect, reaches the sublime.

The author, a key figure in wine journalism, shares his reflections and memories in a free, incisive, sometimes even poetic style. Here, wine is something to live, to love, to share — not an exact science, but a delicate, irregular, living art.

In this essay, Jacques Dupont questions taste, standards, and criticism. He asserts that a wine too perfect can be boring, while a slight flaw, an unexpected relief, can awaken the palate and trigger emotion. It is these living imperfections, these endearing oddities, that he celebrates brilliantly.

The book is also a tribute to the curious drinker, the hedonistic reader, the cellar wanderer who prefers authenticity to fashion, the memory of the terroir to the market algorithm.

An essential work for all those who want to think about wine differently, and understand how it infiltrates our lives, our memories, and our simplest joys.
