Last night in New York City, Louis Roederer—the France house that has been producing champagne independently since 1776, including the ever-popular Cristal (shout out to 2Pac)—debuted its first Cuvée in 40 years: Brut Nature 2006, a non dosage wine created in collaboration with designer Philippe Starck. The latter—a designer that needs no introduction, despite his famously-transparent pieces—along with Louis Roederer President Frédéric Rouzaud and Chef de Caves Jean Baptiste Lecaillon, introduced the new vintage to high-profile guests at the Sky Room at the New Museum including Adam Glassman, Michael Klug, TOME’s Ramon Martin and Ryan Lobo, and more. Along with an artistic film, salmon sliders, and countless bottles of the new bubbly, attendees were treated to a heart-warming tale of the concoction’s creation from all three personalities behind it.
