Rochard Bordeaux Barrel and Two Wine Bottles Limoges Box

A Bordeaux wine barrel, the kind stacked in the cool cellars of a French chateau, becomes a porcelain box in this Rochard Limoges piece, and two little wine bottles come with it. It is hand-painted in Limoges, France, and it raises a toast to one of the world's great wine regions.

From the Chateau Cellar

Bordeaux has been famous for its wines for centuries, and its oak barrels are an icon of the craft. Rochard pairs the barrel with a pair of tiny bottles, so the piece tells the story from cask to table. Each one is painted by hand, so the barrel and bottles vary slightly from set to set.

A Toast Among Friends

This makes a fine present for a wine collector building a cellar, a couple returning from a tour of the Medoc or Saint-Emilion, or a friend who just passed a sommelier exam. It also suits a restaurant owner, a vineyard worker celebrating a first vintage, or a host who pours the good red for special guests. It looks at home on a tasting room counter, a cellar shelf or a buffet set for a wine dinner. With the wine bottle and wine menu pieces, it builds a small cellar on the shelf.
