As part of his artistic reinterpretation of Maison Ruinart, Jeppe Hein transformed the wooden box containing a Jeroboam bottle of Ruinart Rosé into a work of art, exploring the different dimensions of champagne.

Echoing the sensory installation RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, the box was whitened with chalk taken directly from the walls of Ruinart s chalk pits in Reims, giving the wood a ceruse-like appearance. Instead of the usual Ruinart label, a rosé-coloured mirror label appears on the front of the bottle, with no writing, recalling the bubbles from the art installation.

Once the bottle has been removed, the box serves as the base for a rose-coloured mirror sculpture evoking both the colour and sparkling bubbles of the champagne. A testimony to the fleeting moment of tasting, this limited edition recalls the sensory experiences in the RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW installation.

The Jeroboam represents a conservation method sought after by those who love fine wines. The low volume of air in the large bottle results in slower oxygenation, which favours freshness and aromatic richness. A champagne aged in a Jeroboam is more complex and structured in the mouth, while revealing a silky texture during tasting.

This exceptional cuvée of Champagne Ruinart Rosé is characterised by a lively and elegant blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, revealing subtle notes of pink (peppermint and grapefruit). The artist particularly liked this cuvée, but also chose it as a tribute to the Maison s visionary spirit: the first champagne house to market, in 1764, a rosé champagne, then called œil de perdrix ( partridge s eye ).

With 25 signed and numbered copies, this boxed set will be presented at the art fairs of which Maison Ruinart is a partner (price: 3500 euros).
