Biography
Having forged strong links with several artists, Claude Taittinger created the Taittinger Collection in 1983. He received support from some of the greatest names in contemporary art to showcase the best vintage Grands Crus produced by the Champagne House.
The bottle becomes both the canvas and the inspiration for a creation, signed by a distinguished artist. The Hungarian artist Vasarely was the first artist to produce work for this unique art gallery, which to date includes a long line of designs by artists such as André Masson, Roy Lichtenstein, Imaï, Rauschenberg and Amadou Sow. Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado produced artwork for the 2016 vintage Grands Crus, in the latest of these specially produced editions to date. These editions, produced in limited quantities, can be savoured using both the eyes and the pallet, or kept sealed as a memento. Due to the limited nature of these bottles, they are unfortunately no longer available directly through Taittinger.
