Inspiring Collaborations

In the world of Champagne, artistry flows as naturally as Champagne itself. From cellar to canvas, the great Champagne houses have long collaborated with artists to express their unique blend of craftsmanship, heritage, and imagination. These Champagne art collaborations go beyond design — they are cultural dialogues between creation and celebration. Let’s uncork the stories behind the maisons that have mastered this effervescent fusion of art and wine.

Maison Ruinart: The Pioneer of Artistic Collaboration

Alphonse Mucha’s 1896 Ruinart poster

Ruinart has a longstanding relationship with the world of Art. Demonstrating audacity and innovation in its choices, the Maison commissioned the Czech artist Alphonse Mucha to design its first advertisement in 1896. Exhibited from the Morris columns in Paris to the summit of the Mont Blanc, the poster created a sensation. The artist then became the leading figure of the Art Nouveau movement.

The connection between Ruinart and art has remained strong ever since, maintaining close links with contemporary art. The Maison continues to honor that creative legacy through its Carte Blanche Artist Program (since 2008), inviting contemporary artists to reinterpret the maison’s heritage:

Vik Muniz (2014) – vineyard portraits made from natural materials.
David Shrigley (2020) – humorous reflections on sustainability and savoir-faire.
Jeppe Hein (2022) – mirrored installations exploring conviviality.
Eva Jospin (2023) – sculptural forest scenes transforming the chalk cellars.
Tadashi Kavamata (2026) – Conversations with Nature. Through his works, he makes us observers of the vibrations of nature, essential to the harmony of champagne. -> read more

Ruinart remains the benchmark for how tradition can inspire modern creativity.

Dom Pérignon: The Art of Creation

Jeff Koons (2013) – Balloon Venus for Dom Pérignon Rosé.

Lenny Kravitz (2018) – artistic direction blending design and music.

Each partnership turns Dom Pérignon into more than a drink — it becomes a creative ritual.

Veuve Clicquot calls its spirit solaire — radiant, optimistic, and artistic.

Moët & Chandon: Heritage in a New Light

Daniel Arsham’s sculptural design for Moët & Chandon Impérial 2023.

In 2023, Moët & Chandon partnered with American artist Daniel Arsham, renowned for his “fictional archaeology.” His sculptural reinterpretation of the Moët Impérial bottle, and a site-specific installation in Épernay, offered a futuristic lens on Champagne’s timeless identity.

The project symbolized Moët’s dedication to both heritage and reinvention — where the bottle itself becomes an archaeological artifact of celebration.
