Two exceptional cuvées, two Stories of preserved passion

In the world of wine, some bottles captivate instantly with their rarity and authenticity. Cuvées C1617 and A1368, from the family-run estate Les Vins d’Aristide Larrieu, perfectly embody what it means to be a rare wine. This unique estate was saved from being uprooted thanks to the passionate commitment of Armelle and Jean-Marie Dubois.

With just 2 hectares of vines—only 1 hectare being bottled—this artisanal project is a true showcase of excellence and precision. Each bottle is part of a numbered micro-cuvée that appeals to even the most discerning connoisseurs. Among these gems, a highly rare white Carignan, aged for six months on its lees, stands out for its finesse and complexity.

These rare wines have earned a place at prestigious tables, including the three-star Michelin restaurant L’Auberge du Vieux Puits, a testament to their quality and acclaim.

A premium design worthy of a rare wine

At INESSENS, supporting such a project goes far beyond simply creating a label. It’s about telling a story, enhancing an identity, and visually expressing the excellence of the product.

In close collaboration with Defacto agency, our team crafted a refined packaging solution using subtle light gold foil combined with a matte varnish finish. The result is a label that is both elegant and reassuring, perfectly aligned with the ultra-premium positioning of the C1617 and A1368 cuvées.

This project was handled with care by Léna Ouallet, our sales representative, who listened closely to the estate’s needs and provided bespoke support at every stage of the creative process.

Passion at the heart of every bottle

These cuvées are more than just wines—they are the result of shared passion and rare expertise. Working with producers as committed as Armelle and Jean-Marie Dubois fuels our own passion for fine wine and luxury packaging every single day.

✨ At INESSENS, every rare wine deserves exceptional packaging that enhances its story.
