The Tasting is written and directed by Ivan Calbérac with Isabelle Carré and Bernard Campan.

Jacques, a gruff divorced man, runs a small wine cellar, on the verge of bankruptcy, alone.
Hortense, active in the community, and determined not to end up an old maid, enters his store one day; and decides to sign up for a wine-tasting workshop.......

Laurent Aknin

A regular collaborator of Ivan Calbérac, with whom he began working on images (2002), now composes for film and television (TV films, series, and cartoons).

The music of La dégustation comprises several main themes that accompany the characters (mainly Hortense and Jacques).
The trumpet, the piano, and the orchestra allowed me to compose both for Jacques, with a jazz touch, and for Hortense, with a more classical and harmonic color. Throughout this story, my goal was to make the protagonists' paths intermingle.

'It was a great pleasure participating in this new adventure with Ivan Calberac: we always have exciting and passionate exchanges during the musical creation of his films...'
