In fact, it&#8217;s my favorite wine, period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>One evening, while I was drawing a watercolor of a building from one of  my photos taken in New York several years earlier, I suddenly decided to  open a bottle of Petit Chablis, the last one I had left. What a crazy  idea, and yet, that&#8217;s exactly what happened! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I pour myself a\ndrink in a Saint Louis crystal glass, a relic of my wedding, and dip\nmy lips into this beverage that reminds me of my youth. Yes, there&#8217;s\na story behind this wine. There&#8217;s always a story!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was a teenager at\nthe time, and my parents had a country house near Auxerre. It was\ngrape harvest season, and&#8230; Long story short, we had the opportunity\nto buy some wine under conditions I won&#8217;t tell. I was part of the\nnight expedition. And ever since, this wine has had a taste of\nadventure, of the forbidden, of sweetness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I go back to that\nevening of drawing and watercoloring. I didn&#8217;t stop at one glass, I\nhad a second, then a third, and&#8230; I finished the whole bottle all by\nmyself. No way I\u2019d pour a glass to anyone, a Petit Chablis is not\nto be shared! The drawing was difficult to finish, in fact, I noticed\nyears later that there were a few mistakes&#8230; Looking back, it makes\nme laugh a lot. I continued with the watercolor, well aware, well\nalmost aware, that the slightest mistake would ruin all my work. In a\nsecond state, I managed to finish the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My head was spinning\nso much. I realized that after two glasses, it was as if I was\ndrinking water. I didn&#8217;t have the taste, just the drunkenness. When I\ngot up from my stool, I couldn&#8217;t walk straight anymore. I staggered\nto my room, to my bed. I couldn\u2019t stop laughing. My daughter had\nnever seen me like this, and neither had I. It was the first and last\ntime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I felt like I was\nfloating above a mass, a body, dark as if protected by spikes. I\ncouldn&#8217;t reach it without piercing my entire body, right down to my\nsoul. What a strange experience that I absolutely do not want to\nrepeat, but which finally resurfaces years later through this\npainting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SOLD \ufeffAcrylic on canvas \u2013 8 x 8 inch \u2013 Unique work Petit Chablis is my favorite white wine.
