St-Rémy, the world’s number one French brandy, unveils its exclusive collaboration with celebrated French artist Lucas Beaufort, which unites the worlds of fine spirits and urban artistry, and is sure to captivate collectors, art enthusiasts, and connoisseurs alike.
Lucas Beaufort brings his revered vibrant street art vision into the St-Rémy brand with a stunning limited-edition bottle design that showcases Beaufort’s signature urban style, blending dynamic colours and captivating geometry that reflects his inspiration after tasting the St-Rémy XO with Master Blender, Cécile Roudaut.
At the heart of this collaboration lies the shared values of authenticity, generosity, and open-mindedness, both of which Lucas Beaufort and St-Rémy hold dear. It’s a meeting of two artists: Lucas, the painter of colours, memories, and emotions, and Cécile, the Master Blender, who expertly crafts harmony from the diversity of French terroirs.
“Collaborating with St-Rémy on this project has been an incredible opportunity to fuse the worlds of art and savoire-faire,” said Lucas Beaufort. “The design of this limited-edition bottle encapsulates the spirit of both our artistic endeavours and the refined excellence of St-Rémy brandy.”
Lucas Beaufort’s captivating bottle artwork was inspired by an extensive tasting and masterclass with Master Blender Cécile Roudaut, where he translated St-Rémy XO’s bold flavours of vanilla and wood, paired with the delicate notes of ripe fruits and honey into different shades of colours.
“Diversity is the cornerstone of both Lucas and St-Rémy’s artistic expressions,” said Aveline Rimbaud, Executive Director at St-Rémy. “For St-Rémy, it is the diversity of the eaux-de-vie sourced from the different regions, grape varieties and vineyards of France. For Lucas Beaufort, it is his palette of colours, shapes, emotions, and memories that fuel his creativity. We share the belief that harmony is born from diversity.”
Both Cécile Roudaut and Lucas Beaufort embody the spirit of exploration in their unique ways – searching, waiting, observing, and adapting, to result in a harmonious creation.
