Reading the Label on a Wine Named After a Person

A wine named after a person tells you the estate’s story, not how the wine tastes. The winemaker picked the name, and it says nothing about color or style. One estate may use the same first name for a red, a white and a rosé. Two unrelated estates may also land on the same name, one for a Bordeaux red, the other for a Gros Manseng white from Southwest France.

The name on the wine label is the cuvée’s brand name, and it is not one of the mandatory label terms. The clues to taste are elsewhere: the designation (AOC, IGP or Vin de France), which shows where the wine comes from and the rules it follows, the vintage, which gives the harvest year, and the name of the estate that made it. To sort them out, read the difference between AOC, AOP and IGP wines.

The grape variety, when listed, and the sweetness term on sparkling wines (extra brut, brut, medium dry) round out the picture; our guide to what the label on a bottle of wine reveals goes further. To choose, start with the color and style you like, then the appellation. Let the name come last, with its story. If you go back to a wine you have tasted before, check the vintage: the name stays, but the harvest may differ.

Wines Named After a Person: Your Questions

Why do winemakers name a wine after a person?

Winemakers name a wine after a person to put the estate’s story on the bottle. The name can mark a milestone: a child’s birth, sometimes with vines planted that same year, or a new generation taking charge of the winemaking. Some winemakers also give a range their own first name.

Who do wines named after a person usually honor?

When their origin is known, wines named after a person most often honor the winemaker’s family: a child, sister, mother, father or the estate’s founder. Sometimes a first name is handed down through generations and the wine salutes the whole line. Others carry a saint’s name, taken from the château, a vineyard or a single plot.

Who chooses the first name on the wine label?

The first name on the wine label is chosen by the estate that makes the wine, when it creates the cuvée. It appears on the producer’s original label. To give a wine with a loved one’s name, start from the names the wines already carry; our guide give a wine with a first name has more ideas.

How can you learn the story behind a wine named after a person?

The story behind a wine named after a person is sometimes told on the wine’s product page or on the estate’s page, which explain who it is dedicated to. When nothing is written, rely on the appellation, grape variety and vintage to choose: they are what tell you about the taste.

Where can you buy a wine named after a person direct from the winemaker?

You can buy a wine named after a person direct from the winemaker on Avenue des Vins. Each bottle is shipped by the producer who made it, with no middleman.
