Last year some very dear friends of ours got married. Very unexpectedly, to all, they had got engaged here in Champagne, and we had all celebrated that moment with a wonderful bottle of Gremillet blanc de blancs, which the future groom had bought a few days before in preparation.
So for their wedding a few of us decided it would be nice to make a decorated Magnum of the same Champagne for their wedding present.
The decoration part fell to Brian, who started by doing a rough drawing of the proposed design.
After carefully cleaning the bottle he began applying layers of enamel paint. He didn’t stick exactly to the drawing, but I think the finished bottle looked really beautiful, an ideal wedding gift. He also painted all our signatures and the date on the reverse of the bottle.
A really unique bottle and a lovely little memory.
