Rochard Bordeaux Taster Set Limoges Box, Crate and Bottles

A Bordeaux wine crate arrives with its own tiny taster bottles and a corkscrew, as if a vineyard shipped a sample case straight to your shelf. The whole set is Rochard porcelain, a Limoges box painted by hand in Limoges, France.

Uncorking the Left Bank

Bordeaux has been shipping wine in crates for centuries, and the wine case has become a symbol of the region all on its own. Rochard shrinks that idea down and adds the fun of miniature bottles and a corkscrew, each painted by hand. Every finished set has its own small differences in tone.

Raise a Tiny Glass

This set makes a clever present for a sommelier passing an exam, a wine club host, or a couple back from a tour of the Medoc and Saint-Emilion. It also suits a restaurant owner celebrating a new wine list. Arrange the bottles beside the crate on a bar cart, a cellar shelf or a glass cabinet near the stemware, and let guests guess the vintage. Wine collectors often build a whole shelf of Rochard bottles and baskets, and this tasting crate gives that shelf a fitting anchor.
