Châteaux Bordeaux #3

The third volume of Corbeyran and Espé's sophisticated French series, subtitled L'Amateur, draws readers into the world of fine wine with this beautifully rendered cover. A young woman in a red dress stands at the center of a well-stocked cave à vin, carefully examining a bottle as dozens more surround her — on shelves, in wooden crates, and scattered across a worktable bearing labels like Malartic-Lagravière and Gruaud-Larose. Espé's detailed artwork captures both the sensory richness of Bordeaux wine culture and the quiet intensity of someone who truly knows what she's looking for.
