Made me chuckle
Thanks David!
Those pillars are also, “unique”, but good for them.

I like the new labels, at least you can tell what wine you have.
I do detest the new rieussec bottles though; I refuse to buy them, and I have a lot of rieussec in the cellar.

… and if you didn’t …,?
It’s easy to stop buying when you have an ample sufficiency.
I do agree the label is gross. But. ” it’s what inside that counts “
I find both renditions to be quite elegant and reflecting the wine inside. My favorite must be the version with the parcels on the label.
The new burgundy project label is also rather good.
The implication here is that somewhere the labels are good in contrast? Where?
I’d argue that Burgundy has the best labels:
H-N
DRC
Leroy
Lafarge
Roulot
Meo-Cam
M-G
Lamy
Comtes Lafon
Arnaud Ente
Dancer
Drouhin
Sauzer
Eugenie
Tremblay
If I didn’t have any I still wouldn’t buy any.
Roulot is very good!
I’d argue that this is incorrect.
The ringer for worst label and simultaneously most amusing in Burgundy for me is Bizot. What does Bizot have in common with Avatar, Shakira Merch and Hukah bars? Papyrus …

It’s the papyrus paradox! Many other cultish producers has used it. My fave must be Strohmeier in Austria.
But it’s these labels that are so fun somehow, because it’s so wrong it’s good, just like Callcut;
Or Weyand;
Well you aren’t 
what region is better?
He just prints that on one of those shipping thermal printers. I envy him not having to wait for printing, proof and embossing and foil tools etc.

ps. I love the idea. Is it beautiful…of course not. Is it a statement that I think I understand, yep?
Of course can’t be sure without talking to the wine maker. I’ll leave it at that.
But as a label based on design alone, I’d imagine it’s polarizing.
I mean what will the far east market think if it’s not China perfect

That reminds me immediately of ESJ which I love
The first time I saw that, I could not believe it. The worst label I’ve ever seen.

I imported the wines of Michel Goubard starting in 1981 ('78 vintage). This was not the label.
The next year, Michel showed me this label, which he had found from over half a century ago. I loved it and my old company has been importing it for 40+ years.
The label is so wide that I’ll have to get my son (a professional photographer) to get it in full.
The bumf on the right used to read (poorly translated from French):
“From the chancery I discovered the slopes and the vineyard of Montavril, where the wine is renowned”. Abbot de Courtpee, 1765.
