Between rap and natural wine, an unlikely love story
By Martin Lemaire

This article from Le Figaro Vin explores the unexpected links between independent rap and natural wine, highlighting winemakers such as David Large who incorporate rap music into their work. The article does not specifically mention Château Cazebonne, Jean-Baptiste Duquesne or the Graves wine estate.
The article from Le Figaro Vin, entitled "Entre le rap et le vin naturel, une improbable histoire d'amour", highlights the emergence of a new generation of winemakers breaking with traditional conventions. The main example cited is David Large, a winemaker in Beaujolais, who listens to rap while tending his vines and working in his cellar, claiming that music aids fermentation and keeps the matter alive. He draws a parallel between the concept of terroir in wine and territory in rap, where each artist speaks of their own environment. This article makes no mention of Château Cazebonne, Jean-Baptiste Duquesne or the Graves wine region.
