Watercolor, Indian ink and pastel highlights on paper 19.2 × 14.8 cm (7.56 × 5.83 in.) Founded in 1984, the Festival bd BOUM de Blois has always cultivated a convivial spirit. On the death of its co-founder, José Poulin, it was decided that a cuvée of Loire wines would be named after him, with volunteers asked to design a label each year. The team's accomplice, Michel Plessix, designed the 1999 edition. The story goes that Rat, Taupe, Crapaud and their illustrator really appreciated Touraine Terres Blanches.
