A unique bottle

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.
