Gérard Biard

Gérard Biard is a French journalist. He is the editor‑in‑chief of the satirical French news magazine, Charlie Hebdo.

Biard has been been associated with Charlie Hebdo since 1992, when it was relaunched after a 10-year hiatus. He was in London for a conference when Charlie Hebdo’s Paris office was targeted in a January 2015 terrorist attack.

In May 2015, Biard and film critic Jean-Baptiste Thoret accepted the PEN/Toni and James C. Goodale Freedom of Expression Courage Award on behalf of Charlie Hebdo.

Biard is strongly in favour of secularity. In October 2014 he participated in a conference of the French feminist organization Regards de femmes on the topic. He is a founder and spokesperson for Zéromacho, an organization of men "against prostitution and for equality".

Bia blanc

Bia blanc is a white French wine grape variety that is no longer commercially cultivated for wine production with only a few plantings existing worldwide in viticultural archives and experimental vineyards. The exact origins of Bia blanc are not yet known though ampelographers have noted that the grapevine shares some morphological similarities to the red Isère grape Peloursin, one of the parent varieties to Petite Sirah (Durif).

Eco-geogroup

In the 20th century, ampelographers Louis Levadoux and (decades later) Linda Bisson categorized Bia blanc as a member of the Pelorsien eco-geogroup along with Durif, Béclan, Dureza, Exbrayat, Jacquère, Joubertin, Mondeuse blanche, Peloursin, Servanin and Verdesse.

Synonyms

Over the years, Bia blanc has been known under a variety of synonyms including: Bear, Beard and Biard.
