The leading supplier of French wines to Cyprus, Wine and More by French Depot, has become the exclusive distributor of Chateau La Grace Dieu des Prieurs wines in the region.

Wine and More by French Depot, founded 10 years ago by entrepreneur Christophe Chaillou, immediately became the flagship of the French wine and gourmet segment in Cyprus. Today,  its boutiques have become a real “Mecca” for gourmets, including Russians living on the island.

Now the Wine and More by French Depot assortment includes wines from the Art Russe Saint-Emilion Grand Cru collection, created in collaboration with the famous winemaker from the east riverbank of Bordeaux, Louis Mitjavile. Mitjavile is a wine and vineyard consultant for La Grace Dieu des Prieurs, creating unique Grand Cru wines that reflect the local terroir and vintage characteristics. Labels with paintings by Russian classics – Ilya Repin, Viktor Vasnetsov, Nicholas Roerich and others – will become a spectacular addition to the exquisite drinks.

Cypriot oenophiles and admirers of Russian fine art can evaluate and compare vintages from the Art Russe collection of 2014, 2015 and 2016. Thus, the labels of 2014 are decorated with paintings familiar from childhood, “Again Deuce” or “Lenin proclaims Soviet power.” Since 2015, many artworks by socialist realists and Russian impressionists have appeared in the design of Art Russe wines. Connoisseurs of genres will surely appreciate copies with paintings by Nikolai Feshin or May Danzig. How about giving your friends a bottle of wine, with the painting “Hammer and Sickle” by Helium Korzhev? Or present three vintages of Chateau La Grace Dieu des Prieurs with different pictures on the labels in an elegant red leather case to a business partner?

Such millésimes are available at Wine and More by French Depot in Limassol, Paphos and Nicosia.

Chateau La Grace Dieu des Prieurs uses the brand and works from the collection of Russian paintings of the Art Russe Foundation to decorate wines in accordance with an agreement signed in 2015 to popularize Russian art. Today Chateau La Grace Dieu des Prieurs wines can be purchased in Hong Kong, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, the United States and several European countries.
