Champagne Taittinger has added a new artist to its growing Taittinger Collection of specially commissioned Vintage Champagne bottles designed by world famous artists.
Robert Rauschenberg is the latest artist to be commissioned by Taittinger to create a limited edition bottle, this time for the company’s 2000 Vintage.
The new bottle will be released in May and interested collectors should contact Champagne Taittinger directly, via their website, or their UK agent Hatch Mansfield.
Rauschenberg’s bottle is the eleventh in this ongoing series, he being renowned for his experimentation, concentrating primarily on collage and new ways of transferring photographs.
The Rauschenberg Collection is a visually arresting collage dominated by a cockerel astride a church steeple, over a coastal scene. Behind these, rulers and numerical slides dissect the bottle vertically and horizontally amid a collage including stamps of Robert Kennedy and photography. The bottle comes in a special presentation box.
Champagne Taittinger Brut 2000 is a blend of 50 per cent Chardonnay to 50 per cent Pinot Noir. The white fruit is mainly from Grand Crus vineyards of the Côte des Blancs, while the black grapes come from the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne.
The Collection Series was the brainchild of Claude Taittinger who approached the Hungarian artist Victor Vasarely in 1983 with a view to commissioning the artist to make a distinctive look for a small number of vintage 1978 bottles.
So successful was the execution, and so popular the concept, that Taittinger has continued to handpick artists to commemorate their special vintages.
