Piper-Heidsieck Rare (magnum)
Le Secret Goldsmith Edition
Mellerio, Jewelry to the Imperial and Royal Courts
Only 1000 exclusive magnums made worldwide, inspired by Rare Le Secret High Jewelry.
A Piece of Goldsmithery
Given the success of their collaboration, Rare Champagne asked Mellerio to design a limited series of one thousand exclusive, numbered magnums: the Rare Le Secret Goldsmith Edition.
A Gold Cartouche
The lines and typography of the gilded cartouche pay tribute both to Mellerio’s expertise as a goldsmith, and to the identification plaques in front of the cabinets of Rare Champagne vintages in Rare Champagne's cellars. Inside the bottle, the same wine still delivers its unforgettable sensory experience.
Mellerio, Jewelry to the Imperial and Royal Courts
Fifteen generations of the Mellerio family have ruled over the House since it set up in Paris in 1515 and obtained permission, by a royal decree signed in 1613 by Marie de Medicis, Regent of France, to trade in precious objects. While Mellerio was the official jeweller to Marie-Antoinette, the House also enjoyed the patronage of other royal and prestigious families (Empress Josephine and the imperial court, the courts of Spain, Russia, Italy, Belgium, the Orleans and Rothschild families, etc.) who, century after century, sought out raiment worthy of their rank. The House today still boasts a diverse clientele from the world over.
A double heritage, Italian and French, enriches the Mellerio spirit. The talent of the Mellerio master craftsmen corresponds to the vision of Régis Camus. While human workmanship, forged by fifteen generations of craftsmen, remains essential, new technologies have helped to preserve and innovate jewellery making today. The paramount goal is to provoke an emotion at each glance of a piece of jewellery that is precious yet intimate. The Mellerio style, both modern and timeless, accords a balance to its designs, a blend of classicism and audacity, discernment and creativity, simplicity and splendour.
Rare Le Secret Goldsmith Edition: Régis Camus' intimate cuvee
"In 1997, we had not yet announced a vintage. I had, however, found a source of inspiration in all the wines and decided to produce a very small quantity of a cuvee (interpretation) of Rare Champagne. I decided to produce this only in magnums: a real first for Rare Champagne! I let it mature in my most secret cellar. Several months ago, I tasted it.
It had become extraordinary without surrendering the Rare Champagne style. Unlike the other Rare Champagne cuvees, the fact that no sugar had been added gave the wine an original identity, enhanced by a second fermentation of more than twenty years. And so was born Rare Le Secret, the most intimate of my cuvees."
