The concept

Art & Vin: where beauty meets quality

We bring together family estates and independent artists to create quality cuvées with modern labels. Each bottle tells the story of a place in France, and of a meeting between a winemaker and an artist.

Bordossima

Bordeaux + Bellissima: “absolute beauty”.

An organic Bordeaux from a family estate, dressed by a French artist.

The interpretation

With Bordossima, we set out to showcase the architectural beauty of Bordeaux and its Gallo-Roman roots. The label gathers the city's classical façades, domes, Gothic spires and rooftops into a single panorama, like a postcard to set on the table.

The label

Docteur Paper, the artist

Docteur Paper drew the label by hand, stroke by stroke, in black ink.

Born Jérôme Baillet, Docteur Paper is a French illustrator and graphic designer based in Nantes, known for urban illustrations drawn entirely by hand. He works in black ink with surgical precision, layering architectural perspectives and carefully crafted lettering. His work includes large murals, such as those at Nantes Atlantique airport, limited editions printed in letterpress, and collaborations with Nintendo, FC Nantes and Uni-ball.

On Bordossima, the name is hot-foil stamped: gold for the red, silver for the white. A brand you recognise at first glance, and every bottle becomes a work of art.

The estate

Château Gayon

Château Gayon lies in Caudrot, on the banks of the Garonne, south of Entre-deux-Mers. The Crampes family arrived in 1903 and has grown vines here for four generations. Today, young winemaker Paul Crampes is modernising the family know-how across 30 certified organic hectares.
