For this vintage, André Masson has composed a moving tribute to the wine of Champagne and to the region where he once fought. Thus, this golden spot in the middle of the bottle represents the vision that all men have on the battlefields that line the Champagne countryside. The fireworks of a shell in the night. The moment when the soul lets go of reality… André Masson died in Paris in October 1987, a few months after contributing to the Taittinger Collection.

Providential and historic, this is how the 1982 harvest was described, combining exceptional quantity and quality. After four years of low yields, the vines were finally able to unleash their potential thanks to a remarkable amount of sunshine in July and August.
