The so-called medallion bottles will be limited to only 400 units, half of which will be released this year. The golden lattice for every bottle is entirely hand crafted and takes the work of two master goldsmiths to complete in four days. In all, 2,296 feet of 24k gold plated bras tape was used, resulting in 508 silver-weld points. More than a beautiful armor, the lattice work is a piece of jewelry for the excellent champagne.
