The song was composed notably by Jean-Jacques Lafont under the pseudonym of J.Falon. This French singer has had a smash hit in 1986 with "Le Géant de papier". Very popular, the song deals with the tasting of the wine and the sausage, in company with some friends, in a festive atmosphere.
Licence IV was a male duet composed of Olivier Guillot and Francis Vacher, who were respectively the secretary and the artistic director of Patrick Sébastien. Gillou - Pierre Perret's accordionist -, who is mentioned in the lyrics, also participated in the composition of the song.[1]
