Cru d’excellence wine illustration placemat 45 × 30 cm

A little French vineyard story at dinner

The bread is sliced, a cheese board is ready and everyone finally has time to gather around the table. The Cru d’excellence placemat captures that relaxed atmosphere with a lively illustration of French wine culture: bunches of grapes, tasting glasses, bottles, barrels, cheese and a figure looking closely at a glass. The lettering « Vins de France » and « Crus d’excellence » gives the print an old-fashioned poster feel. Look more carefully and you may notice a tiny label, a basket or another playful detail. It invites conversation without requiring an elaborate table setting or a special occasion.

One 45 × 30 cm placemat made from polypropylene

This rectangular placemat is made from 100% polypropylene and measures 45 × 30 cm. The size creates an individual place for a plate and everyday cutlery, depending on the dimensions of your dinnerware. When preparing a table for several people, check how much width is available between guests before choosing the number of mats. Its light background sets off dark lines with reds and greens in the grape and wine illustrations. The placemat is sold individually; no bottles, glasses or serving accessories are included. It is made in France, another practical detail to take into account when comparing table accessories.

Our decorating idea for a welcoming shared meal

There is already plenty to discover in this collage, so we prefer to keep the rest of the place setting calm. Plain cream plates, soft napkins and a wooden table allow the small wine-themed sketches to stand out. At a casual family lunch, use a mat at each place and keep the serving platter in the centre on suitable tableware. The picture is decorative rather than a guide to wine regions; it can be enjoyed at any meal. Although polypropylene is useful for an everyday place setting, this placemat is not a heat-insulating trivet. Very hot pans and oven dishes need a separate protective support.

Pair the vineyard theme with useful kitchen pieces

The Bordeaux Vineyards placemat shows a drawn regional map, including the Gironde, Médoc and Graves. The Vignobles de France Boutique placemat depicts the blue-fronted windows of a wine shop. In the kitchen, the Prieuré-Lichine tea towel draws on the look of a château label, while the Les grands fromages tea towel adds a different playful food illustration. Browse our other placemats to find the prints that suit your home instead of matching every accessory automatically.

Mamimosa’s gentle care advice

After a meal, remove crumbs and wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp sponge. Dry the placemat before putting it away and avoid abrasive scrubbers that might damage the printed details. This model is made from polypropylene, rather than cotton table linen, so do not put it into your usual fabric laundry cycle. Mamimosa recommends cleaning small marks shortly after eating, before they have dried onto the grapes and lettering. The detailed care symbols on the product label take priority for any other cleaning method; there is no need to promise magical stain-removal tricks or use harsh products.
