Whether it’s through literature, music, sculpture or painting, for centuries creativity and wine have been intrinsically linked: Artists have sought inspiration by drinking the wine, and bottles of wine have been created unique, beautiful and refined just like a painting that defies time.
​
We wanted to reflect these empirical relationships between art and wine on our Bourgogne Chardonnay Les Croix Blanches bottle, thus we began representing an artist on the bottle’s label every year.
