Grand Vin De Bordeaux
SAUVIGNON BLANC 2012
THE EXPERIENCE
Against the backdrop of azure sky and scattered clouds, Yue’s alter ego carries his own head in a way akin to the iconography of early Christian martyr St Denis of Paris. One of Fondation Cartier’s most famed works of art, this surrealist painting embodies a sense of boundless optimism and uninhibited playfulness. The apparent airiness, brightness, quirkiness and spaciousness of this masterpiece correspond perfectly to a Bordelais Sauvignon Blanc’s lifted fragrance, zesty freshness and exotic character. Time for blue-sky thinking.
THE WINE
This superb white wine is the result of a careful selection of the best “terroirs” of Sauvignon Blanc from Bordeaux. It reveals aromas of lime, peach and grapefruit, delivering a wonderful richness and perfect balance to the palate. This 2012 vintage provides a burst of freshness and a fine lingering finish.
Serving temperature : 12 to 13°C
THE ART
Sky – 1995
Oil on Canvas – 100 x 80 cm
Depicting a beheaded man carrying his own smiling head, this painting perfectly embodies the cynical realism that characterises Yue Minjun’s art. The blue sky and white clouds, meanwhile, represent the freedom and lightness of this delightfully pure Sauvignon Blanc.
