The Mysterious Life of Wine | Bruno Quenioux

“I have seen wines disappear in the presence of intruders, reappear after they leave. Who knows what goes on in the mind of a wine that resembles the one who made it.” - Jean Carmet Humility towards the terroir, the ability to listen to the vibrations of the earth and elements like air guide the winemaker in tending to their vineyard. Great wines reveal themselves with this essential slowness, where everything becomes sacred. Haven't we been talking about the drink of the gods since ancient times? The winemaker, like the sommelier or wine merchant, must learn to be naked to avoid the illusion of drinking a great wine through a label. A well-received wine will have a great chance of inducing a trance-like state, with limitless perceptions. Today's physicists demonstrate that through magnetic resonance, the invisible of wine gradually becomes visible. Moreover, isn't wine also a revealer of ourselves?
