Henri Frapin likes to relax on these spring Sundays in the garden facing the property, built in 1702 and situated above the production site. He contemplates this region of woods, rivers and pastures, where he was born and which is in his blood. He considers the manna represented by this nectar, which the family has been producing since 1889. His
favorite moment is when his son joins him around 11 a.m., when the sun's rays warm this forest promontory above Segonzac.

The chessboard is ready. His son sits down and wordlessly takes up this metaphorical battle, the union with his father in the pleasures of the game. The spring breeze brings with it the refreshing scents of the surrounding groves. The sun warms the citrus fruits ripening in the terracotta pot on the table, while the irises and heliotropes lining the path to the stoop shed their dewy husks and open up to fill the air with their fragrance. Henri serves his son his traditional cardamom tea, a spice that shares its origins with this age-old game. The two players attempt to checkmate each other, while postponing the moment to prolong these privileged moments, this bridge between two
generations, this bond of paternal love that will unite them forever Show less
