To mark the 500th anniversary of Château de Chambord, a major symbol of French heritage, a special cuvée has been created. To accompany this anniversary vintage, Autajon Étiquettes Centre Loire was chosen to design and print a label worthy of this historic event.
The newspaper La Voix du Sancerrois highlights this project, which perfectly showcases Autajon’s expertise in creating high-end labels for exceptional wines.
A project of major heritage significance
The “Cuvée des 500 ans” is more than just a wine. It celebrates the château’s legacy, its majestic architecture, and its royal aura.
The label therefore had to express this noble identity while respecting the estate’s graphic codes and the aesthetic requirements of such an emblematic wine.
Autajon Étiquettes Centre Loire supported the Domaine de Chambord from the first drafts through to the final print run, with a clear objective: to enhance the prestige of the estate through precise graphic and technical work.
Printing techniques that enhance the royal dimension
Autajon has selected premium finishes to reinforce the noble character of the design.
- Hot foil stamping brings brilliance and relief to the royal symbols.
- Embossing shapes the graphic elements with finesse and precision.
This tactile effect reinforces the perception of quality from the very first touch.
- Particular attention is paid to the textured paper.
Autajon has chosen a matte, slightly grained substrate that evokes traditional materials. This texture gives depth and authenticity to the Domaine de Chambord label.
- Pigmented inks provide a deep, perfectly stable black.
This contrast plays a key role in highlighting the foil and also ensures optimal legibility, which is essential for a prestigious wine.
The graphic frame brings structure and balance to the design, surrounding the composition like a heritage piece.
Comprehensive support from Autajon
Autajon has supported the project from the very first sketches.
The team advises on materials, finishes, and the order of print runs. It carries out several tests to guarantee a precise and consistent result. Each colour is validated jointly with the estate. Quality control follows the production all the way through to final packing.
The objective remains the same: a perfect label on every bottle.
A label that elevates the anniversary cuvée
The Domaine de Chambord label becomes a fully assumed visual tribute.
It embodies the château’s history, elegance, and majesty.
Thanks to their expertise, the Autajon teams have created a rare graphic piece. This achievement confirms Autajon Group’s ability to elevate exceptional wines.
