Description

This now very rare and quite unique bottle could be called a work of art in its own right - and you may be able to see why if you take a good look at the pictures and from reading the following:

It was this dedication to beauty that saw the collaboration of Taittinger with some of the most renowned artists around the world and the beginning of the ‘Taittinger Collection’.

In 1983 Hungarian born artist, Victor Vasarely created the first bottle in the collection. Vasarely’s penchant for geometric shapes was a perfect fit to create a most distinctive look for the design of a bottle. The wine in Vasarely’s bottle was a 1978 Brut consisting of 40% Chardonnay and 60% Pinot Noir. Since then, other artists to adorn bottles with their artistic visions have been Roy Lichenstein (1990), Imaï (1994) and Rauschenberg in 2007. Only 5000 bottles of the Taittinger Collection are created in each production, making them a rare and unique acquisition.

In good condition overall.
Some minor scrapes but certainly nothing dramatic; Good original and unspoilt cage and foil.
