Inspired by the distinctive design of the cellars, created by Philippe Starck and Luc Arsène-Henry and completed in 2016, these extraordinary showcases hold either two double magnums, three magnums, or six bottles. The wines are carefully preserved in the estate's cellars, marked by a gold wax capsule and a special 'œnothèque' seal, ensuring their provenance.

Combining aesthetics with functionality, each box required over 1,000 hours of craftsmanship. The Lécuiller company expertly transformed ancient oak wood into thin sheets, compressed to 2mm. These were then skillfully shaped by the master craftsman of Créabois, located in Beychac et Caillau, Bordeaux.

The bottles are elegantly displayed on a plexiglass support, with wooden columns mirroring those in the cellar. The boxes are individually etched with the Elements iteration (II, III, or VI), the château's emblem, and an identifying number within the limited-edition range.
