The simplicity of the architectural lines is offset by the refined furnishings and sophisticated accessories. The vine, truly the lady of the house, has inspired a wide range of Lalique crystal pieces which are set in bed frames, chests of drawers, bedside tables, mirrors and sofas. This same motif reappears in the bed linen and pillows. The beige marble bathrooms boast bunches of grapes embroidered on the bath towels and beautifully engraved on the tap handles. Photos by Aerni, a Swiss artist with a passion for Sauternes, also pay tribute to the golden wine of Lafaurie-Peyraguey, whose iridescent colours range from straw yellow to amber depending on the age of the vintage.
