The Once in a Lifetime Gift Newly launched for the festive season, the Champagne Thiénot Brut Magnum Limited Edition (HK$625) is a beautiful and exclusive bottle that will be sure to spark conversation this Christmas. Designed in collaboration with Parisian graffiti artist Speedy Graphito, the recognised French artist created striking visuals to bring the intricate Thiénot style to life.

Combining quality and originality in a harmony of roundness and zest; an elegant Champagne perfect for gifting this holiday season.
