At its magnificent new “Château de Famille,” Moët & Chandon hosted a star-studded soirée celebrating a historic milestone in the journey of its signature champagne in 2019. Some of Hollywood’s brightest stars graced the glittering evening with their presence: Natalie Portman and Uma Thurman, style icon Kate Moss, the British actor Douglas Booth and Derek Blasberg. The House hosted celebrities, brand ambassadors, and friends of the Maison who had travelled to Champagne for the special night to toast the lovingly-restored Château de Saran on its remarkable debut and to mark the memorable 150-year milestone in the journey of Moët Impérial. Following an elegant cocktail party at the Château, a festive seated dinner was served in a striking mirrored structure specially designed to reflect the spectacular beauty of the House’s vineyards. The meal, prepared like a concerto “with four hands,” combined the unique culinary talents of Yannick Alléno, the three Michelin-starred French chef and brand ambassador for the House since 2014, with the artistry of Dominique Crenn, co-owner and chef of the three-Michelin-star restaurant Atelier Crenn in San Francisco. A live musical performance courtesy of British singer-songwriter and British breakthrough artist Freya Ridings complimented the evening. Smooth, melodic sounds enhanced the celebrations that culminated with a mesmerising display of colourful fireworks to illuminate the skies above the Château de Saran and the vineyards in the hills, echoing the bright sparkles of Moët Impérial.
