The Grape Harvesters

Originally commissioned by the “Confrèrie des Chevaliers du Tastevin”, the first bronze edition of this sculpture takes centre-stage in the Great Hall at the famous Chateau du Clos de Vougeot in Burgundy. Each year, a magnificent series of banquets are held for the members who come from every corner of the Globe to participate. The fruit of the vine rhythms most aspects of life in our corner of Burgundy and determines so much more than purely gastronomic affairs. Vineyards and winemaking mark the seasons in a powerful way, the “Vendanges” being a critical but joyous period for all concerned.
