Social mission
The ROYALE CONFRERIE PRESTIGE DES SACRES pays homage to the ‘Giornata della cuvee d’onore’— an annual festival held in the 18th and 19th Centuries that spread the spirit of solidarity among the various associations of the winemaking industry. Vignerons and royal suppliers came together in the cathedral of Reims to take part in the ancient art of opening bottles of champagne in very unique ways. On January 22, every year, each winemaker’s “honor” Cuvée was opened with the likes of a glass, a hoof, vineyard tools, or simply with a sword as Napoleon used to do. This is how the Prestige Des Sacres bottles created in honor of the ‘Royal Confraternity’ were born.
Today, this spirit of solidarity exists as the current commitment of the Confraternity. Each member’s registration fee and participation contributes to the social mission projects selected by the charity. In recent years, these have been linked to nature, supporting the local ONLUUS “Spiritus Mundi”, and a community of children living in an orphanage in Brazil.
Supporting artists and women
Just as our wines are carefully selected, we will foster and uplift our creative community, partnering with them to create limited editions, such as bottles, labels and gift packs.
The art of gifting
Similarly, we will showcase local craftsmanship with packaging and products handmade by local artisans.
