In celebration of an illustrious 280-year legacy, Moët & Chandon has unveiled Collection Impériale Création No. 1, a symbolic commencement of a biennial series leading to the Champagne Maison’s 300th anniversary.

The Fusion of Vintage and Artistry
Collection Impériale: A Symphony of Vintages
Unveiling a limited edition, Collection Impériale Création No. 1 is the first gem in the crown of Moët’s historical commemorations. It presents a refined cuvée, harmonizing the essence of seven spectacular vintages, each contributing its unique character to this golden-hued champagne. The opulent notes of licorice root and mocha blend seamlessly with the vibrant tones of hazelnut, vanilla, dried fig, and Mirabelle plum, creating a sensory celebration.
An Artistic Alliance with Daniel Arsham
A Sculptural Homage by a Visionary Artist
Moët & Chandon has entered a creative collaboration with American contemporary artist Daniel Arsham. Arsham’s work, featuring an intriguing interplay between architecture and temporality, finds resonance in a distinctive avant-garde relief—an ode to Moët’s vibrant history and the enigmatic passage of time.
A Celebration Cast in Resin and Inspiration
The Art Installation: An Homage to Heritage
Arsham’s work draws inspiration from Félix Gaudin’s historical stained glass within Moët’s cellars, transmuting it into a modern work nearly 10 feet in length. This innovative relief, echoing the pale hues of Champagne’s soil, now assumes its station in the cellars as a permanent tribute to time and artistry.
The Decanter: A Limited Edition Legacy
Transcending Time: The Moët Collection Impériale Package
The artistic narrative extends to an exclusive, limited edition chest and an artistic reinterpretation of the traditional bottle, crafted by Arsham. Only 85 bespoke pieces are available, embodying the grandeur of the Château de Saran—an estate synonymous with Moët & Chandon’s prestige since 1801. The complete collection, inclusive of the champagne, chest, and sculptural bottle, is offered at a venerated price of $28,000, inviting collectors to own a piece of history.
