Continuing its longstanding support of international cinema, Moët & Chandon, last week auctioned its exclusive Moët & Chandon Golden Collection for the 22nd edition of the annual amfAR Gala, Cinema Against AIDS. Held during the 68th Cannes Film Festival in France, Moët & Chandon’s lustrous, handmade collection of special edition, Jeroboam-format Moët Impérial champagnes was auctioned for more than $75,000 with proceeds benefitting lifesaving AIDS research.
The star-studded amfAR Gala is one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the Cannes Film Festival, and is widely considered the Festival’s most exclusive gathering. Moët & Chandon, the official champagne of the amfAR Gala, hosted and toasted the cinema world’s most successful celebrities at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, including Michelle Rodriguez who has hosted the exclusive Moët & Chandon table, Marion Cotillard, Diane Kruger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Adrian Brody and many others.
In the Moët & Chandon Golden Collection, the Champagne House gathers together three unique and glimmering, golden Jeroboam bottles of Moët Impérial for the very first time:
So Bubbly Jeroboam
The bottle is delicately adorned with gold-colored bubbles that evoke the champagne’s famed effervescence. Shared with the world as an exclusive first sneak peek, So Bubbly is a design that lovers of Moët & Chandon will be destined to glimpse again in the months to come! The glamorous bottle features the Maison’s famed seal from Epernay, France in solid 18-carat gold, representing the more than 270 years of winemaking savoir-faire behind each bottle of Moët & Chandon champagne. So Bubbly Jeroboam features the final luxurious touch of a gold-plated label and signature tie.
Sign Your Moët Jeroboam
This is a handcrafted reinterpretation of Moët & Chandon’s iconic Jeroboam champagne bottle. Gilded by hand with a gold-plated label. But the elegant touch that elevates this stylish special edition into a grand gesture to remember is a signature by the one and only Roger Federer, global icon and brand ambassador for the Maison.
Golden Dust Jeroboam
A majestic three-liter bottle of Moët Impérial champagne that shimmers with an exquisite golden finish. The limited edition bottle is inspired by the noble dust that gathers on the champagne bottles as they mature in Moët & Chandon’s cellars in Epernay, France. Chic, elegant and radiantly luxurious, Jeroboam Golden Dust embodies Moët & Chandon’s global reputation for elegance.
