Commenting on the design, Alexander Amosu said: “The bottle already has a distinctive look with its natural design, all I had to do is bring it to the next level of ultimate luxury.”
The Goût de Diamants everyday bottles are hand-finished by a single craftsman with over 40 years experience. The Bottles for each of the four vintages come with a hand-applied pure pewter engraved label set with a brilliant cut Swarovski Crystal (The Rosé crystal is appropriately pink and the Brut, blue.).
In house, Shammi Shinh, said: “We wanted to take it one step further and create a one off masterpiece for one of our private wealthy clients and we are very pleased with the results.”
The Limited Edition Salamanazar Bottle:
That’s not the only special bottle for this bubbly, which is only available to the trade. They have also announced the exclusive release of their limited-edition 9-litre Salamanazar.
A delicious naturally aged Brut cuvée is bottled within. Each stunning bottle takes over 100 man hours and is completely hand finished by our very own master craftsman. An array of beautiful diamond cut Swarovski stones have been used to create this masterpiece.
This is the first limited-edition bottle ever released by Goût de Diamants, making it the ultimate celebration gift.Only 10 bottles exist worldwide.
