Overview
Printed in 2000 copies; copy reserved to Monsieur le Docteur Chaumier. A delightful parody of Cervantes' immortal Don Quixote, reimagined through the lens of Beaujolais wine culture. Georges Rozet crafts an ingenious tale where the famous windmill episode takes on new meaning in the vineyards of Romanèche-Thorins. This charming booklet, generously illustrated by Line Touchet, represents a unique fusion of literary homage and regional pride, celebrating the renowned Moulin-à-Vent appellation of Beaujolais.
Inside the book
As if Don Quixote needed improving, he detours through Beaujolais, retold in gleeful red-and-black plates. Cheeky, irreverent, and a tiny gem of reinvention.
Why La Fenice likes it
A witty collision of Cervantes and Burgundian folklore: literature with a splash of terroir. The kind of odd, cultured pairing that reminds us collecting should always surprise.
