The wine of civilized constraint. Champagne made by a house that has survived revolutions and upheavals while maintaining the same exquisite form. A glass of it in a locked room is still a glass of the world.

Burgundian in spirit, American by address. This wine understands that identity is both fixed and chosen, which is precisely what the Count meditates on from his rooms at the Metropol.
