This stunning illustrated wine map, created by French artist Rémy Hétreau in the 1950s, is a beautifully detailed tribute to the legendary Bordeaux wine region. Commissioned by the Comité National de Propagande en Faveur du Vin, the poster is both an artistic masterpiece and an educational tool, showcasing the vineyards, terroirs, and appellations that define Bordeaux’s winemaking heritage. At the center of the composition, a finely drawn map of Bordeaux highlights its most famous wine-growing areas, including: 🍷 Médoc – Home to prestigious wines from Pauillac, Margaux, and Saint-Estèphe. 🍷 Saint-Émilion & Pomerol – Renowned for their rich, elegant reds. 🍷 Graves & Sauternes – The birthplace of world-famous sweet wines. 🍷 Entre-Deux-Mers – Known for its crisp white wines. Surrounding the map is a whimsical, decorative border featuring grapevines, a château, a sunlit vineyard, and a sailing ship, reflecting Bordeaux’s rich viticultural history and its connection to trade and maritime commerce. The Bordeaux coat of arms sits proudly at the top, reinforcing the region’s centuries-old winemaking tradition. Rémy Hétreau (1913–2001), a celebrated French illustrator and designer, was known for his elegant, hand-drawn maps that brought the cultural and geographic identity of France to life. His work on this poster captures the romance, craftsmanship, and prestige of Bordeaux’s wine industry in a timeless mid-century style. Today, this vintage wine map is highly sought after by collectors of French wine memorabilia...
