Beyond the aesthetic elegance and grace of French craftsmanship emerges the ultimate representation of heritage and legacy. Custom made, limited edition. Maison Veuve Clicquot, La Grande Dame by Baccarat

Maison Veuve Clicquot is proud to unveil La Grande Dame by Baccarat, an inkwell inspired by this epistolary legacy. Only 15 inkwells have been created, each of the fifteen pieces, signed and numbered by Baccarat, is unique and delivered with six bottles of La Grande Dame: 1989, 2004 and 2008, in both Brut & Brut Rosé. When opened, the inkwell reveals a black and golden pewter champagne bucket, ready to welcome the collection of La Grande Dame wines as well as four Baccarat crystal champagne glasses and a leather serving tray

These two Houses, ambassadors of unique know-how, driven by a passion for creation and by a quest for excellence, have worked together to create a piece that symbolizes exceptional French craftsmanship

Symbol of exceptional French savoir-faire

The masterpiece utilises more than eight different experts, including luxury artisans from the Du Bellay network, a group of artisanal businesses in the Anjou region of France. The skills of several Meilleurs Ouvriers de France–recipients of the prestigious French award for exceptional craftsmanship–were leveraged alongside a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres–a knight of the French Order of Arts and Letters, which recognises significant contributions to the arts.

Do you know the story of the eponymous Widow Clicquot, one of the world’s first international businesswomen? With her 19th-century business mind and a pen in tow, she brought her wine business back from the brink of destruction and created the modern champagne market in the process. Enigmatic and clever Clicquot sent letters around the world enchanting clients, instructing employees, and waxed lyrical about the virtues of her incredible champagne in her quest to create the ultimate champagne house.

It’s a thing of beauty, a labor of love that was two years in the making and required over 1,000 hours of work by some of Baccarat’s best master craftsmen.

Only 15 inkwells like this masterpiece will be ever produced, each of them priced at a cool $55,000. But if you’re one of the lucky people who will get to purchase this superb champagne bucket you will also get a private invitation to Champagne, in northeast France, to visit a magical château and take a deep dive into Veuve Clicquot’s amazing history.

Madame Clicquot paid great attention to public relations and communications and was a prolific letter writer.

More than one hundred thousand letters sent and received. That is 7,000 letters a year on average! All our CEOs have paid special attention to the archives, which are preserved in our "Pavillon du Patrimoine Historique". This invaluable heritage is a constant source of inspiration: we created the Clicquot Mailbox in 2014 to pay homage to Madame Clicquot's letters and her.

This limited-edition creation “My Heart That Blooms in The Darkness of The Night” for the magnum format of La Grande Dame cuvée, is available in only 100 numbered pieces.
