Collector’s Edition

With our Collector’s Editions, we wanted each of our vintages to tell its own story.
A story that draws parallels between wine and other worlds, calling upon different imaginative realms, and creating strong connections between those who share the same passion for wine… and beyond.

Hard-Rock Edition

2018 Vintage

This first edition, launched with Château Fleur Cardinale 2018, propels us into the energizing universe of hard rock.

This collector’s edition is deeply rooted in the DNA of Château Fleur Cardinale.

We believe that the dynamism and boldness of our ideas showcase the exceptional quality of our wines with enthusiasm and originality. For this first collector’s edition, hard rock and wine echo each other, both immortalizing a work of composition, a story, capturing and releasing emotions.

For this vintage, the knight dons the graphic codes specific to the hard rock universe, skillfully integrated into the original coat of arms. The flames surrounding the coat of arms symbolize the energy released when tasting this 2018 vintage. The shield is pierced by the original swords and surrounded by skulls: drum sticks are casually placed in a corner. The knight appears to be fully savoring the moment, wearing a bandana, sporting studded bracelets on his wrists, and making the horns sign with his hands.

Surf Session Edition

2019 Vintage

With the 2019 vintage, Château Fleur Cardinale’s family knight takes to the sea and rides the Hawaiian waves in a “Surf Session” Collector’s Edition.

Viticulture and surfing share common values: humility before Nature, adaptability, and patience.

Both winemakers and surfers know how to live in the present moment and share the same sensitivity towards respecting and preserving ecosystems. This “Surf Session” Collector’s Edition accompanies the 2019 vintage, which can be compared to the perfect wave that one will never surf twice.

For this new edition, the knight stands ready to ride the wave. Surfboards have replaced the swords, while sharks, corals, and hibiscus flowers have taken their place within the coat of arms.

The knight, crowned with a flower lei, displays meaningful Polynesian tattoos: the tiki for protection against danger, the gecko for luck and fortune, and the turtle, symbolizing eternity, union, and harmony.

 

Intergalactique Edition

2020 Vintage

Prepare for immediate takeoff with the Intergalactic Edition of Château Fleur Cardinale, a celebration of the 2020 vintage, and an invitation to soar to new heights for an interstellar epic.

In 2020, perfectly aligned planets brought together favorable weather conditions and precision tools to craft an exceptional wine – the first to be fully vinified in the Château’s new cellars and the Decoster family’s 20th vintage.

From vinification to tasting and inspiration(s), everything aligns to make this 3rd collector’s edition a space adventure. The 2020 wine marks the Grand Cru’s launch toward a new signature.

The cosmos makes its appearance on the numbered labels. Through various touches, Fleur Cardinale’s identity transforms. Its knight becomes an astronaut. Teleported into space, index and middle fingers forming a V, he advocates for peace. The coat of arms, topped with a rocket symbolizing the Château’s new beginning, also conceals a blob. This nod to the French astronaut’s companion – a mysterious single-cell entity – mirrors the yeasts that transform sugar into alcohol.

Rugby Spirit Edition

2021 Vintage

Château Fleur Cardinale unveils its Rugby Spirit Edition, paying tribute to team spirit, perseverance, and sharing – values cherished in both the worlds of wine and rugby.

The story of the 2021 vintage is like an unpredictable match against Nature, marked by numerous challenges: until the final whistle, with the last harvested grape, the team relentlessly overcomes all trials. To better reveal the spirit of the vintage, they focus on preserving the fruit expression unique to each terroir, thus offering a wine of great beauty, the kind one loves to share.

With this Rugby Spirit Edition, the battle is won with the ball in hand.

The central shield is crossed by the emblematic lines of the 5, 22, and 50 meters. Overlooking it all, the drop goal posts as virtuosic as the perfect try, appear in a low-angle view.

Southern and northern hemispheres intertwined, none of the great oval nations is forgotten: Argentinian pumas, Australian wallabies, South African springboks, New Zealand ferns, and Japanese cherry blossoms alternate with the emblems of the old continent: on either side of the player are English roses, Scottish thistles, Irish clovers, and Welsh feathers.

Extraordinary Edition

2022 Vintage

Far from any known territory, this fifth and penultimate edition of the collector series celebrates the 2022 vintage and the odyssey experienced in bringing it to life.

With the Extraordinary Edition, Château Fleur Cardinale invites you to exploration. Far from any known territory, this fifth and penultimate edition of the collector series celebrates the 2022 vintage and the odyssey experienced in bringing it to life. To better magnify this unique wine, it borrows from Jules Verne, prolific author and creative genius, the imagery of his stories written at the edges of the world and the limits of knowledge.

With subtle strokes, the helm becomes a deep-sea diver. Symbols of the emblematic Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, along with the octopus, they reign at the heart of the coat of arms.

On either side of this central motif, with lightness, the hot air balloon from Five Weeks in a Balloon rises to caress the trunk of Kiouni, the pachyderm and mount of Phileas Fogg in Around the World in 80 Days. Gigantism meets exoticism, with the appearance of pterodactyls and mushrooms of incredible shapes emerging straight from the depths of Journey to the Center of the Earth.
