Champagne de Castellane Santé!

Champagne de Castellane was touted as the champagne of choice for the Parisian "Smart-Set" during the Belle-Epoque period. In 1902, the House de Castellane asked the famous Italian painter Leonetto Cappiello to design its first "advertising poster". Since then de Castellane has developed a real patronage of poster art with an incredible collection of paintings and posters including this Canetti poster in which Canetti has integrated the Castellane signature red cross to form the Evening gown of the model.    A beautiful, classically modest poster that pairs wonderfully with our other Castellane posters 'Champagne de Castellane Ballgown (Tenue de Bal') and 'Champagne de Castellane Tophat (Haut de forme)' 

From the Castellane website: "The Viscount Florens de Castellane, heir of one of the oldest families in France, established his Champagne house in Epernay.

Visionary and resolute to promote his brand to the eyes of the world, he chose as his logo the red "Saint-Andrews" cross as a tribute to the standard of the oldest regiment in the Champagne region."
