Some wines are associated with art labels, such as Ch Mouton-Rothschild and the Leuwin Estate Art Series (and Ch Siran for some years) whilst others commission special labels for special occasions, like Ch Rauzan Segla did in 2009 hiring Karl Lagerfield for a one-off label to celebrate 350 years of wine making at the estate. At present I have not been able to ascertain why there is this art label for certain bottlings of the wine (there is also an ordinary "plain" version of this wine).
Monica Castanys is a contemporary artist from Barcelona, usually painting figures (mostly women) often from the back, using a colour palette reminiscent of the Impressionists. The subjects are usually depicted in the middle of some everyday activity, but the sense of leisure is always present in the paintings (Indeed there was an exhibition of hers called Sense Presses (Unhurried in English)). This label is typical of the sort of pictures in her portfolio.
