The Soul of the Blue Bunches: Meeting Muriel Zoldan, a winemaker of living wines by Pauline Dupin-Aymard & Clara Debray

This graphic novel is an encounter with winemaker Muriel Zoldan who created the Antocyâme estate near Montauban.

Her personality is vast and bustling: both intuitive, full of poetry, but also rooted and demanding. Muriel is rich in all her professional experiences between oenology and Chinese medicine, and her intimate life led through various landscapes of France.

Muriel sensitively takes us on a journey into her approach to wine. She accompanies her vines with respect for living things, without chemicals and without mechanical violence, with a lot of listening and care. She naturally extends this philosophy in the cellar, producing living wines, refraining from adding or removing anything from the grape juice that becomes wine, up until bottling.

It is a quest for purity and beauty, a search for the expression of the terroir, in harmony with her personality.

Narrated by the poetic pen of Pauline Dupin-Aymard and the lively pastels of Clara Debray, The Soul of the Blue Bunches intoxicates us with the rhythm of two artistic styles that complement and respond to each other.
