The Classique line in burgundy resin was introduced by Montblanc in 1989. The color was meant to flank the black lines and was used for the Le Grand, the Classique and the Mozart lines.

Unfortunately the resin turned out to be very delicate and Montblanc eventually decided to discontinue this production. The Classique went out of production in 2008.

Nowadays all the Montblanc models in burgundy resin have become precious collectibles, and are becoming more and more difficult to find.
