The Bib'Art Rosé from Château Puech-Haut is one of the most joyful and singular objects you can place at the centre of a table, all at once a work of art, a collector's piece, and a rosé for immediate pleasure, born from the unlikely and successful meeting between a great Languedoc vineyard and the uninhibited creativity of international artists. Winner of the title of best bag-in-box wine at the international Wine in Box 2016 competition, Bib'Art has become, over twenty-five years, one of the most recognisable and most copied signatures in contemporary French viticulture.
An idea born in 2000
The Bib'Art adventure began in 2000, when Gérard Bru, founder of Château Puech-Haut, imagined a container of rosé wine holding 3 litres that would be beautiful enough to sit proudly at the centre of a table without shame or embarrassment. The idea is as simple as it is radical: give free rein to international artists from all backgrounds and graphic styles to paint the wooden barrels of the domaine, then faithfully reproduce these works on small metal barrels containing a 3-litre wine pouch. Each barrel is thus the exact replica of a hand-painted barrel, signed and numbered. In exchange for their creation, artists receive the quantity of wine contained in the barrel they decorated: content for container. More than a hundred artists have already participated in this unique adventure, making Bib'Art a true travelling museum of wine and contemporary art.
Terroir and wine
Located in Saint-Drézéry, between the Mediterranean and the foothills of the Cévennes, in the immediate vicinity of Montpellier, Château Puech-Haut now encompasses over 115 hectares of vineyard spread across three domaines: Château Puech-Haut, Domaine de Theyron, and Château Lavabre. The soils, composed of clay and limestone covered with rolled pebbles, are identical to those of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a terroir of remarkable richness and generosity, bathed in Mediterranean climate, exposed to the sun and swept by sea breezes. The Bib'Art rosé is a blend of 60 percent Grenache and 40 percent Cinsault, hand-harvested at perfect ripeness. Vinification is carried out by direct pressing without maceration, to obtain a very pale colour and an aromatic expression of great freshness. The musts ferment at low temperature, between 12 and 14 °C, with malolactic fermentation blocked to preserve all the wine's fruit vibrancy.
Tasting profile
The colour is a very pale rose with salmon hues, luminous and delicate. The nose is fresh, direct and immediately appealing: aromas of wild strawberry, white peach and citrus mingle with light floral notes evoking rose and honeysuckle. On the palate, the wine is lively, light and highly drinkable: the attack is fresh and fruity, the finish clean and slightly saline, with pleasant aromatic persistence that invites you to the next glass. A rosé of pleasure and conviviality, conceived to be shared without ceremony, in the sunny and generous spirit of Mediterranean Languedoc.
Food pairings
This Bib'Art Rosé is the ideal companion to a barbecue with friends, a board of charcuterie and cheese, a salade niçoise, summer grilled dishes, grilled fish with fennel, or light Asian cuisine. It will also be perfect as an aperitif, served well chilled between 8 and 10 °C, like an invitation to celebration and sharing.
