If you want peace, prepare the wine (French edition): Praise of Burgundy by Laure Gasparotto

Si vis pacem, para vinum. It is in this spirit that the Treaty of Arras of 1435 was made, marking the end of the bloody war between the Armagnacs and the Burgundians. More than just a political agreement, it is a true celebration of wine, a symbol of peace and union.

Burgundy, a region with exceptional terroir, is the birthplace of some of the greatest wines in the world. As early as the 11th century, monks perfected viticultural techniques in the secrecy of monasteries, giving rise to vintages that are now legendary: Romanée-Conti, Corton-Charlemagne, Musigny, Charmes-Chambertin, Clos Vougeot, and Clos de Tart.

In this work, Laure Gasparotto, an avid enthusiast and adopted Burgundian, unfolds a vibrant historical and cultural fresco of the region. She unveils not only the history of Burgundy wine but also the soul of the artisan winemakers who, over the centuries, have preserved and transmitted this unique heritage.

This book is an ode to viticultural tradition, a tribute to the men and women who cultivate the vine with passion and respect. It is also a reflection on the modern world and its challenges, in the face of economic pressures and climate change.
