Taittinger Collection Vintage 1992
As the years went by, Matta’s work, influenced for a long time by the violence and oppression that sadly marked this era, became subdued and more poetic.
These are some of the characteristics found on the design he created in his homage to Champagne. Matta leads the design with poppies, a well-known symbol of war remembrance and painted them on an ochre background. These flowers represent a need for nostalgia, yet a spirit of continuation all the same. Calligraphic marks, reminiscent of the famous ‘automatic writing’ of the surrealists, run across the design.

Winemaking and Maturation
The bottle contains a Brut Millésimé 1992, made from a combination of Chardonnay 50% and Pinot Noir 50%.
Thanks to a sunny period at the end of August and the start of September, everything fell into place. The character of the 1992 wines are in line with previous great vintages. The grapes had matured well and had given the wine a full-bodied and aromatic strength. Acidity was at a good level, creating an overall balance and vibrancy. The taste is moreish and long-lasting, with the sophisticated combination of lemon and floral notes.
