First grape harvests
"We are united by the maire (Mayor), we are blessed by the curé (Priest)… long life the maire and the curé… and long life for the Mercurey!"

The authors, Anne-Lise Nalin and Wandrille, had both participated in the making of "The Other People" a bedenovela, created by Thomas Cadène, formerly available on the web or as an album at Editions Dupuis. Anne-Lise Nalin signs here for her first real album, with a semi realistic stroke that gives a surprising freshness to the work. as a whole.
To be read… while bathed by a gentle sun… pistachio, coconut ice-cream and cool drink at hand… exactly like in popular song!
