Irouléguy my love | Eric Remus

“I suddenly realized that he had managed to cheat in the competition, that Étienne was informed of the questions before us, that his veneer of knowledge and his ease of social class allowed him to give a natural touch to what was nothing more than the restitution of stolen data.” Victor Soubéran, a sommelier student, will learn the hard way that the title of Future Best Sommelier attracts covetousness. Some do not hesitate to cross the line to be declared the winner of this new competition. From the announcement of the winner, the cheaters will hold a lasting grudge against Victor and, with patience and method, will endeavor to derail each of his professional experiences. In the tragic context of the December 2004 tsunami, the meeting between Victor and Pierre Derennes, a wealthy bourgeois and co-owner of a domain in Saint-Émilion, will change the course of things and give a new direction to Victor's personal and professional journey. A novel with intrigue, written in the form of a testimony, “Irouléguy mon amour” immerses us, through the conversations between Victor and Pierre Derennes, in the intricacies of the world of wine, from production to distribution, starting with learning and wine service. Éric Remus was the owner-operator of a vineyard in Saint-Émilion. He is also the co-author of "Bleus en Noir" (Belfond, 1998). "Irouléguy mon amour" is his first novel published by Éditions Persée.
