With only three gift boxes in Harrods at a price of £850 each, the Baccarat Crystal wine decanter set has to be one of the most exclusive wire gifts around this Christmas.
Engraved with the famous Chateau Pape Clement insignia, the set represents a collaboration between renowned wine producer, Bernard Magrez and luxury crystal craftsman Baccarat. The elegant box encapsulates a Bernard Magrez Grand Cru – Château Pape Clément 2004 - accompanied by a hand-engraved Baccarat decanter from the distinguished crystal designer.
Château Pape Clément, Grand Cru Classé de Graves, is steeped in history. Owned by the “wine-growing” Pope Clement V in the 13th century, the vines boast centuries’ worth of care and expert attention.
Monsieur Bernard Magrez presents his 2004 Grand Cru Vintage. Complex aromas of blackberries, cherries, pencil lead and violets emerge from the glass as smoke and black plums play in the background. This is a wine you will want to drink over and over again.
Founded in times of French regal decadence, Baccarat Crystal is a manufacturer of fine crystal glassware. It received its first regal commission in 1823, beginning a lengthy line of commissions for royalty and heads of state throughout the world.
