A rosé wine made using the southern French style pressing method. Pret-a-boire means "drink now" in French. This rosé wine can be enjoyed immediately without the need to let it sit in the cellar. Salmon pink in color, aromas of potpourri and watermelon rind, a taste reminiscent of raspberry tart, a refreshing and dry mouthfeel, an energetic and attractive rosé wine. The label is "Pink Dog" and was designed by George Rodrigue, who also designed the "Blue Dog" label for the 2005 and 2006 vintage Amuse-Bouche.
Label Design
“The joy and emotion that a collector feels when collecting rare wines from different eras and appreciating them as works of art. And the emotion of the deliciousness of the wine itself, which surpasses that, becomes art, and the two arts are connected.”
With this motto, their flagship Amuse-Bouche Red Wine, like Mouton, chooses a different artist each year and features their work on its label.
This rosé wine comes with an amuse-bouche label called "Pink Dog" by George Rodrigue, who also designed the "Blue Dog" labels for the 2005 and 2006 vintages.
George Rodrigue (1944-2013), a native of Louisiana, USA, began his career as a painter in the 1960s.
He was not only an artist, but a true community leader, philanthropist and advocate for arts education, and continues to inspire new generations of artists through the George Rodrigue Foundation for the Arts.
He is known for creating the Blue Dog series of paintings, painted in blue, an auspicious color in the United States, in memory of his beloved dog Tiffany.
To George, the blue dog is said to be the embodiment of a spirit.
