2000 Taittinger Collection "Robert Rauschenberg" Brut Champagne

The Taittinger Collection was conceived in 1983 by Claude Taittinger, who invited leading contemporary artists to design a "laser-sealed" aesthetic sheath for a vintage Champagne. This 11th edition features the work of American artist Robert Rauschenberg, a pioneer of the Pop Art movement. The wine inside is a classic Taittinger vintage blend, characterized by a high percentage of Chardonnay, which gives it the house’s signature elegance and lightness of touch.
