Moët & Chandon Special Edition Jeroboam: where to find the three-litre bottle of collectible Champagne
Even just for its size, containing three liters or the equivalent of four bottles of Champagne, a bottle like this expresses grandeur and generosity. But the Moët & Chandon Special Edition Jeroboam also adds nobility and brightness to these traits.
Clad in brass, with a built-in pedestal, it is wrapped with a laurel wreath around the neck of the bottle – in place of the usual ribbon and seal – and finished in gold leaf to evoke luminous prestige. For a truly collectible Champagne, a luxury object created in just eight examples in which art and craftsmanship blend.
The Moët & Chandon Special Edition Jeroboam bottle is, in fact, decorated with a laurel wreath, a delicate sculpture forged in bronze by the hands of the French craftsman and artist Anouchka Potdevin in her studio in Brittany: a powerful symbol of glory in Western culture, associated to Apollo, the ancient Greek god of music, poetry, sport and play.
In both ancient Greece and Rome, laurel wreaths were given to the winners of athletic competitions and to generals who led armies to victory. This special edition presents itself as a modern trophy, in honor of its historical triumphs.
The bottle of Moët & Chandon Champagne is a golden vision. The Maison made use of the experience and talent of Nicolas Pinon and Dimitry Hlinka, both winners of the 2020 Liliane Bettencourt Prize pour l’Intelligence de la Main.
Dimitry Hlinka skillfully mixes traditional know-how and new technologies; he gave shape to the iconic Moët & Chandon bottle label with metal, understanding the technical challenges and aesthetic risks associated with reformulating the details of the bottle with unknown materials. Nicolas Pinon, however, added a spectacular touch of gold. As a decorator who uses the lacquering technique and a true virtuoso in exceptional finishes, having studied with masters of the art in Japan, his skills blend tradition and contemporaneity. He worked on the golden gold leaf finish of the bottle, which shines even with the slightest movement.
Where to find this object of desire for true collectors? The Moët & Chandon Special Edition Jeroboam bottle, an invitation to come into contact with history and own a legacy, is priced at 25K euros and is available at the Maison’s boutique in Épernay.
