La Bouille
La Bouille | Troubs
1 post | 1 read
De septembre 1999 à mai 2000, Troubs a suivi de ferme en ferme -- de la Dordogne à la Charente -- un des derniers bouilleurs de cru du pays. Quand on se lève à potron-minet, le travail se fait vite harassant, mais les effluves d'alcool aident les langues à se délier: la "bouille" est le moment privilégié pour les paysans du coin de voir du monde, discuter autour de l'alambic, remémorer les souvenirs ... en buvant un petit gorgeon.

Another book set in #Dordogne (and Charente) : a graphic work about a still owner who travels from farm to farm to turn his customers' fruit into brandy. There weren't many of them left in 1999-2000 which is when the book is set, but there are even fewer now, both because life has changed and because hardly anybody is allowed a tax exemption on their first liters of alcohol, as it cannot be passed down the generations anymore.
