The Horse
Horses have always played a predominant role in vineyard work and the champagne trade. Since the foundation of the Maison, Claude Moët's Ledger-Journal bears witness to their importance and indicates horse purchases intended for transport or various fieldwork.
Baqué Molinié illustrates this relationship with the representation of a sculpted bust. Embroidered with baroque motifs suggesting well-tended vines, the piece is an interpretation of human skill with the help of animals.
Moët & Chandon’s engagement with horsemanship
Atelier Baqué Molinié uphold Moët & Chandon’s engagement with horsemanship with a figure that evokes both a chess game piece and a sculpted bust, embroidered in baroque motifs suggesting controlled vegetation—an ode to the forces of nature refined by the hands of man, with the help of the noble horse.
