“In their relentless pursuit of excellence, Moët and Chandon was among the first business concerns to recognize the genius of Mucha... The Imperial came in three grades, ‘Dry’, ‘Crémant’ and ‘Grand Crémant,’ and all of them have been advertised by the same design, with the lettering adjusted as needed. Note the Byzantine ornamentation and elaborate jewelry on the dark-haired girl: Mucha was an imaginative jewelry designer with highly original ideas” (Wine Spectator, 68).
