The grower Champagne house released the 2013 vintage of its flagship wine to coincide with the artistic partnership, which celebrates 100 years of Theo Fabergé
NEW YORK, April 13, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Champagne Château de Bligny, one of the world's premier Grower Champagnes, has unveiled a new partnership with luxury jeweler Creations Theo Fabergé to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of world renowned craftsman, Theo Fabergé, the grandson of master jeweler Carl Fabergé.
Champagne Château de Bligny, which is located in the Côtes des Bar region of Champagne, has been led by the Rapeneau family since 1999, and decided to celebrate this grand occasion with the release of its first ever vintage from the Estate's flagship bottling: Clos du Château. The champagne is a blend of six grapes that are sourced from a single 'clos', or walled vineyard', on the property.
"When we declared the 2013 vintage for Clos du Château, we didn't know when we would release it to the market," said Jean-Rémy Rapeneau, owner of Château de Bligny and the fourth generation of his family that's been making Champagne since 1900. "The opportunity came in 2022 when I met with the Theo Fabergé team and saw the chance to bring the highest level of craftsmanship in wine and art to people all over the world."
From Royalty to Aristocracy, Theo Fabergé's name has been appreciated amongst the world's most prolific art collectors. While the famous 'Fabergé Egg' is front and center, Theo Fabergé had other never-before-released designs such as the Champagne Egg Creation, which has two pieces, the champagne bottle and the coaster dish. Together, they form the 'egg'.
"Theo Fabergé was a big champagne lover," Creations Theo Fabergé CEO Philip Birkenstein said. "Thinking about how to celebrate his centenary, it made perfect sense to partner with the largest independent champagne maker in France and honor Theo's legacy and this design with the finest vintage champagne by Château de Bligny."
