🍷 INTENTION AND USES

This bottle box pays homage to a timeless figure in French history: Charles de Gaulle.

Conceived as the object he could have chosen to embody a wine symbolizing freedom, quality and tradition, this cork features the Cross of Lorraine and the inscription “Grand Vin” — a direct echo of his attachment to national heritage.

The aesthetic is inspired by the great Bordeaux estates, where excellence is never a choice but a requirement.

More than a decorative object, this piece tells a vision of France: strong, rooted, alive.
And like every French Castle cork, it acts as a reminder.
A reminder that wine cannot be kept indefinitely. It must be shared.
And that the present time is the only wealth that cannot be pushed away.

a lasting legacy

THE INK OF THE GREAT WINES

To recreate the authentic tannin mark on the edges of our works, we have banned classic paint.

We use a pure and organic pigment, extracted directly from grape pomace from partner wineries. Applied by hand to solid wood, this noble material offers a shade of absolute depth.

More than a trompe-l'oeil, it is an indelible mark. The wine returns to the wood.

Collectors' Talk

"I gave it to my father, a great collector of Bordeaux wines, who is naturally extremely demanding. I was a little apprehensive, but the result is stunning. The weight of the solid wood, the noble scent, and the surgical precision of the laser engraving make it a true work of art, far from a simple decoration. The fact that it's a strictly numbered edition definitely won him over. A huge success."

Alexandre Vernier

"I was lucky enough to acquire one of the last pieces from the Drop before it sold out. Upon receipt, the care taken with the packaging already announced the level of excellence. Now gracing the center of our living room, it has become the object that systematically sparks admiration and questions at every dinner party. Knowing that there are only 50 of them in the world makes the experience even more privileged."

Eleonore Rostand

"As an independent wine merchant, I absolutely shy away from conventional advertising displays that cheapen bottles. I acquired this 30 cm format for my tasting area, and it's flawless. The contrast of the engraving and the exceptional feel of the wood exude high-level French craftsmanship. It's a statement piece that instantly elevates the image of my cellar and intrigues all my customers."
