Most ugly wine labels?

Saw the title of this thread and immediately thought “l’Arlot” lol. Funny that was the label that kicked it off

Domaine Moreau-Naudet Chablis. That hand growing out of the ground reminds me of “Chiller Theater” horror television show from the 60’s.

Curious what you didn’t like about his wines? They were my favorite from my trip there in 2018. I actually just opened a 2012 Left Bank during the holidays and it was drinking quite well. I enjoyed his Pinot quite a bit also, but drank through those years ago. But I haven’t had any more recent vintages.

I wonder which sex that is targeting.

Wait until you see the label for the one with major brett bloom

Ground control to Major Tom…

Plenty to chose from with this winery:

Nooo! When I was browsing this thread I was thinking of some of my favorite labels. (Is there a thread for that?)
Extradimensional, Championship Bottle and Hundred Suns all come to my mind for my favorites!

I’ve always thought that Chateau Thivin’s labels were super effective at channeling a 1970’s garishness. So much so I (regretfully) wouldn’t buy them. I have since corrected that error in my ways, but my opinion on the labels stands.

I think this might be what you’re looking for :wink:

Funny, I’ve always love Thivin. There’s way too much going on, but in a way that I find super charming.

I love the wine, but never liked the gilded Piper Heidsieck Cuvée Rare bottles. The quality of the wine is so good, I don’t need a bottle screaming at me.

Not secs though. Tough to sell those these days.

I can’t for the life of me find it, but its a coral/terracotta colored label with an abstract face of I presume a lady. Believe its French or Italian. See the label on social media posts in hipster-esque settings. See Tegan Passalacqua posting pics of it a lot (sorry Tegan). Killing me I can’t remember the name but the label is “ugly” to me… :man_facepalming: :man_shrugging:

The “lack of” sex!

Or, this one:

We visited 2 summers ago, and I honestly don’t recall the specifics. I’m also not a fan of the reds up north, and I believe he poured us a few reds. I just remember not enjoying anything that he poured us. Sorry I can’t elaborate.

Agree, the Moreau-Naudet label is tacky. Not to say something like Bessin Tremblay is better, as it is extremely boring. My favorite from Chablis must definitely be Tribut-Dauvissat— gentle abstraction matched with the conservative gothic style typical of Chablis.
