Thomas Keller, Beeple, and Michel Rolland Unite for a One-of-a-Kind Wine Experience
As part of Domus Artium Reserve, chef Thomas Keller teamed up with renowned winemaker Michel Rolland and digital artist Beeple to create Tous Les Jours 621, a Bordeaux Right-Bank wine. Beeple’s front label artwork mirrors the aging process by using 621 images from his Everydays Series, representing each day from barrel aging to bottling.
This collaboration merges Rolland’s expertise, Chef Keller’s culinary vision and Beeple’s art, creating a wine that embodies craftsmanship and creativity.
Tous Les Jours 621 by Domus Artium Reserve marks the first collaboration between Chef Thomas Keller and Michel Rolland, crafted in Fronsac for The French Laundry and Per Se restaurants. The 2018 vintage Merlot benefited from perfect conditions, producing Merlot grapes with rich skins and aromatic, savory juice.
Careful vinification resulted in a wine with balanced acidity, silky tannins and exceptional aromatic qualities, reflecting Keller and Rolland’s shared vision.
Thomas Keller is first and only American-born chef to hold multiple three-star ratings from the prestigious Michelin Guide—for The French Laundry and Per Se—in addition to being awarded one star for The Surf Club Restaurant, becoming the most honored American chef by Michelin Guide, as well as the first American male chef to be designated a Chevalier of The French Legion of Honor, the highest decoration in France.
Chef Keller has earned countless accolades, including The Culinary Institute of America’s “Chef of the Year” Award, the James Beard Foundation’s “Outstanding Chef” and “Outstanding Restaurateur” Awards and Michelin Guide’s Chef Mentor Award. With more than 1.5 million copies in circulation, he is the author of six cookbooks, including the recently released The French Laundry, Per Se.
Michael Joseph Winkelmann, known as Beeple, is an American digital artist, graphic designer, and animator renowned for his satirical, pop culture-infused works that provide political and social commentary.

In 2021, his hybrid sculpture HUMAN ONE fetched $29 million, blending physical and digital elements, and was described as “the first portrait of a human born in the metaverse.” Beeple’s work has been exhibited worldwide, and in 2023, he opened Beeple Studios, a 50,000 sq ft space in Charleston, SC, dedicated to showcasing digital art.
