Hijacking of barrels

To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Giraud Family, owners of Château de Pommard, members of the Grands Ateliers de France took on the challenge of "hijacking a barrel of Pommard". Salagnac added to the barrel a composite material engraved, sculpted and painted in red with the Château's coat of arms to make it look like a seal of wax. The 50kg structure was then auctioned at the Hospices de Beaune by Master Kohn.
