Robb Report Monaco & Côte d’Azur presents the most spectacular treats, exclusive experiences and finest stocking fillers for the festive season—and beyond.
Liber Pater’s spectacular 27-litre bottle of 2019 Bordeaux is nicknamed “the Goliath” for good reason. Made using nine 100 percent Franc de pied indigenous varieties of Bordeaux, the wine is an enviable trophy to add to any collector’s wine cellar.
Robb Report Monaco has partnered with Liber Pater to offer readers the exclusive chance to purchase this masterpiece and visit the vineyard in Bordeaux, where you’ll enjoy a full day of activities, including lunch and dinner with owner Loïc Pasquet, during the 2025 harvest in October. The price tag for such a rare experience is €1.5 million.
Liber Pater—or “free father” in Latin—has rapidly earned cult status among wine lovers. Pasquet relishes his renegade reputation, earned in part for refusing to play by the accepted rules of French viticulture. Rather than rely on grafting, the go-to technique in a post-phylloxera era, he’s using varietals, ecosystems and growing techniques that are as close as possible to the old French ways of vinetending. Pasquet encountered reproof from the authorities for everything from planting vines too close together to allowing grass to grow. Still, he stood his ground, determined to produce a remarkable wine. And he succeeded.
Liber Pater’s highly limited annual vintage is regularly the most expensive bottle upon release in the world, craved by collectors for its depth and the intriguing use of forgotten grapes. Pasquet says his mission is simple: trying to preserve and champion “the real and old taste” of Bordeaux wines. The contents of his bottles, he says, are like tasting the past.
