An exhibition on the viticultrices in Entre-Deux-Mers, produced by photographer Véronique Cherpantier, is installed in the council room of the town hall of Cadillac, in Gironde and under the hall. This set of 28 photoswill be visible until the mid-January 2025.

During the summer of 2024, at the Wine Festival organized by an association of winegrowers, I had the idea of ​​promoting women winegrowers who are put very behind in this male profession.

From this idea, the photo exhibition was born, format 75 x 100 cmon the winegrowers of Entre-Deux-Mers which, after having been installed under the arcades of Sauveterre-de-Guyenne, is now visible in Cadillac.

Soon an audio tour around the exhibition

For her project on female winegrowers, Véronique Cherpantier works with Mathieu Romain who hosts the show La Matinale, on Internet radio Entre-Deux-Mers. Mathieu Romain interviews them and Véronique Cherpantier photographs them.

They both plan to enhance the exhibition with a audio tour : the visitor would connect to the Internet, in order to listen to each photo, a excerpt from the interviewof the winegrower concerned. They even plan towrite a book .

What they want above all is to get off the beaten track of family stories of wine growers and drone shots and instead show the nobility of the earth and grapes.

Installation of the photographer in South-Gironde

Véronique Cherpantier plans to make her exhibition a traveling exhibitionand bring it to Bordeaux, to the Cité du vin, environment reserved for men . A bold bet, but very laudable.

Véronique Cherpantier has lived almost everywhere in France and Europe. She wanted to one day settle in a region. But where to go?

It's difficult to settle in a village where you don't have roots.

The idea then came to him to get closer to his sister who lives in Gironde and after a real crushfor the region, she chose to settle in Sauveterre-de-Guyenne. A city she has now lived in for eight years. She even has her own photography business: the Davvero company.
