No wine is more pursued, more debated, more difficult to love than Burgundy Pinot Noir. It appears fragile — pale garnet, almost translucent, lighter in the glass than you expect. Then it opens: cherry and rose, earth and mushroom, a complexity that unfolds over hours. Great Burgundy does not announce itself. It reveals itself, slowly, to those who pay attention. Fierce Grace was built on this paradox. Silk with a spine. She appears delicate and reveals herself as unforgettable. The Côte d'Or's eternal mystery — made visible.

Every WiWwaW portrait begins not with a canvas or a lens but with a moodboard — a private, intuitive assembly of words, colours, textures and images that together form the wine's character translated into a woman. The moodboard for Fierce Grace travels with the finished work to its collector: a window into the creative process, a second layer of the work itself.

"He doesn't make artworks. He creates encounters."
