Châteaux Bordeaux #6

The sixth installment of Corbeyran and Espé's sun-drenched series brings us Le Courtier — "The Broker" — and the cover sets a thoroughly elegant tone: a poised young woman in a white gown holds a glass of red wine aloft against a golden afternoon sky, while a grand château and a crowd of well-dressed guests fill the background behind her. Espé's artwork captures the glamour and high stakes of the Bordeaux wine world with warmth and sophistication. If you've been following this series, volume six looks every bit as polished and intoxicating as what came before.
