Description
This rosé is made from a selection of the finest parcels of the Chateau Coussin vineyard. Packaged in a case created by the famous French sculptor César Baldaccini, a friend of the Sumeire family, using their wine labels in a unique compression which he dedicated to the family in 1987. The label reproduces a detail of the work of art, including César’ iconic thumb print, to dress this ultra premium cuvée.
