From May 15th to September 15th, we are once again hosting a work from the Vign’art festival. On this occasion, the press conference for the launch of this new edition was held in our park on April 28th. We were honored by the presence of the inhabitant of Epernay artist, Vincent Rahir, creator of the work “Nouveau souffle” which will be installed in our gardens.
Vign’art – 2022 Edition
“Last year, Bob Budd's “Reflections in Champagne”, in addition to its winegrowing theme, represented for our audience an indirect reference to the world of gastronomy. The choice of this work was an obvious one for Gosset. This year, "Nouveau Souffle" evokes the history of our land, which is our common heritage. We chose this work because, beyond its deep conceptual dimension, it touches everyone, brings a positive emotion, and gives a faint smile.”
Jean-Pierre Cointreau, President of Gosset.
The artist’s tale
Vincent Rahir has developed a strong sensitivity for ecodesign. He places respect for the environment at the heart of his projects.
“New Breath is a message of hope, which makes us aware of the magnificent diversity of this environment. The whale, which rises from the ground to breathe, is a metaphor for mankind and the land that feeds it. It is also a time capsule that reminds us of the role played by water on the soil of the region. The Marne Valley is very rich. The vines planted there draw their strength from the hillsides and the chalk, which were shaped by water millions of years ago. A blue sea that has given way to an ocean of vines.”
Vincent Rahir
