MOËT & CHANDON

To mark its 280th anniversary, Moët & Chandon released

Collection Impériale Création No. 1, an exceptional new

champagne inspired by its Haute Œnologie (“high wine-

making”) concept, which blends three grape varieties across

seven remarkable vintages, each of which was carefully

selected and aged in a distinctly different environment

to bring out its individual qualities. To celebrate this anni-

versary, Moët & Chandon collaborated with contemporary

American artist Daniel Arsham, who visited the Maison’s

estate in Épernay with Cellar Master Benoît Gouez. Daniel

Arsham found inspiration in a stained glass window by

Félix Gaudin that has adorned the entrance to the cellars

since the late 1890s, and created a three-meter-long

sculpture that will be permanently displayed in the Galerie

Impériale. The artist also designed 85 limited-edition bottles

enveloped in an all-white 3D relief featuring elements of

his sculpture as well as references to the Château de

Saran, which the Maison has owned since 1801. Arsham’s

unique take on Moët & Chandon’s heritage superbly

captures the essence of the Maison, its history and its

first Collection Impériale vintage.
