Champagne vines as you’ve never seen them before

Given Louis Roederer’s carte blanche, Marie Benattar creates worlds that transcend reality. With her eyes on the vines, she transforms earth and objects to achieve this. “I spent whole nights in the vineyards producing these photographs that are like allegories of Cristal and Brut Premier”, she comments.

During his visit to the Louis Roederer cellars and vineyards, Grégoire Alexandre was intrigued and inspired by the place of biodynamics: “there’s a mystery that connects this culture on earth with the great hidden rhythm of nature, a rhythm that’s inscribed in the cosmos and in the stars. (...) I thus made, in offbeat fashion, a kind of scientific album of celestial images”.

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier grapes are harvested here, but Laura Bonnefous from Maison Roederer in Reims was seduced by the manor house with its contemporary interior decor. She used the pastel walls of the historic house as walls to create “something that lies between the museum and the portrait gallery”.
