As true entrepreneurs, the Chanoine brothers travelled to the various courts of Europe to promote their wines, as champagne was beginning to enjoy a strong following at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

A voluptuous design<\/h4>\n

Its exclusive bottle, with its slender curves, is reminiscent of the architecture of great Russian monuments. Its emblematic colors, rounded label and evocative name all hark back to the era of the great Russian dynasties. It’s also a reminder of the importance of women in this era, renowned for their elegance. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
