A highly collectible and visually striking unopened bottle of 1987 Marilyn Monroe Merlot, produced in France as a Vin de Pays de l'Aude and officially licensed by The Estate of Marilyn Monroe through The Roger Richman Agency, Inc. Featuring one of Marilyn Monroe's most iconic photographic images across the front label together with her facsimile signature, this commemorative bottle represents the intersection of Hollywood memorabilia and vintage wine collectibles. During the 1980s, officially licensed Marilyn Monroe products were produced in limited quantities to celebrate the enduring legacy of one of cinema's greatest cultural icons. Bottles such as this have become increasingly sought after by collectors of Marilyn Monroe memorabilia, entertainment advertising, licensed collectibles, and unusual vintage wine packaging. The reverse label identifies the wine as a 1987 Merlot from the Aude region of France, imported by Nova Wines of St. Helena, California. While the bottle remains sealed, it is offered strictly as a collectible display piece due to its age, and no guarantee is made regarding the drinkability or condition of the wine itself. The original capsule remains intact and the bottle retains an attractive presentation with a desirable fill level. The front artwork displays exceptionally well, making this an excellent candidate for display alongside Marilyn Monroe collectibles, Hollywood memorabilia, or vintage advertising collections. An uncommon survivor from the late twentieth century, combining officially licensed Marilyn Monroe imagery with vintage French wine packaging in a format seldom encountered in today's marketplace.

  • Literature: Officially licensed by The Estate of Marilyn Monroe through The Roger Richman Agency, Inc. Comparable examples are documented in collections of Marilyn Monroe licensed memorabilia and vintage promotional wine packaging from the late 1980s.
  • Circa: 1987
  • Condition: Overall good vintage display condition. Bottle remains unopened with original capsule intact. Fill level appears excellent. Front label presents well with light age-related wear. Rear label exhibits staining, paper loss, and edge wear consistent with long-term storage. Capsule shows scattered scuffs and handling wear. Wine is being sold as a collectible only; no warranty or representation is made regarding the quality or drinkability of the contents.
