Versant Grenache rosé IGP Pays d’Oc 2023.
The Franco-American artist Amy Jones – @studiojonesie – was given a free hand to illustrate the bottle artwork for this delicious latest and 5th limited edition of Versant Grenache rosé IGP Pays d’Oc.
The clear class is painted in striking fashion. The inspiration for this work came during one of the artist’s summer visits to the Versant vineyards. Floral, citrus and vegetal motifs work together to give one the sense of the character of Versant Grenache rosé. The latest bottle celebrates the sights, aromas and flavours of this beautiful region of France.
“Art and wine share the same philosophy. In each piece I strive to infuse joy, positivity and a palette of vibrant colours,” said artist Amy Jones.
“It was my first immersion in the world of wine, an intense sensory experience. The colours of the setting sun, the warmth of the air, every detail planted a seed of inspiration. I integrated these elements with an artistic signature in my design. The result is an elegant, joyful bottle, a true celebration of summer.”
