hat began as a dream to recreate memorable wine moments resulted in a very unique wine bottle design for a high-end Napa Valley Bordeaux blend called The Surrealist, one of Boisset Col- lection's JCB by Jean-Charles Bois- set wines. "I'm a true surrealist at heart," says Boisset, referring to a central inspiration for his designs. "It's very unique in the wine world to do something different." "The Surrealist" bottles fea- ture an attached medallion that's plated in 24-carat gold and features two profiles that frame each side of a central chalice, which is cov- ered in crushed Swarovski rubies and diamanté crystals. After the wine is consumed, you can replace the bottle's glass stopper with an optional, accompanying Bacca- rat crystal stopper if you purchase the gift set. To encourage reuse, The Art of the Bottle Wine producers are commissioning imaginative bottles for high-end, limited-edition wines destined for high prices and loyal members. Jean-Charles Boisset designed the bottle and gift set for The Surrealist, a high-end Napa Valley Bordeaux blend, with an eye for making memories.
