brand label translation : (note of the translator : this is a poem by francois villon written in the xvth century, and in which this wine is first mentioned).
virgin mary, dear goddess,
keep a spot for me in heaven,
never will i have happiness or pleasure
here below, since it is not allowed
to drink this divine nectar,
which bears the name of balestard;
except for people of great wealth
but, i am poor and without fortune,
so, if in heaven this wine abounds,
come, sweet death, you don?t scare me,
take me among the chosen ones,
who, there above, enjoy this wine.
francois villon (1421-1485)
(extract from ?saint-emilion, its history, its monuments, its great wines? by doctor pierre bertin-roulleau.)
