Inside Moët & Chandon’s most glamorous Sydney celebration yet
Many a cork was popped!
THERE’S SOMETHING UNMISTAKABLE about a bottle of Moët & Chandon being opened – the pop, the sparkle, the instant lift in the room. It’s the sound of celebration, a cue for connection and joy.
This season, the Maison bottles that feeling in bold new colour, wrapping its signature champagne in the spirit of festivity – radiant, playful, and made for memorable moments.
Their new limited-edition bottles – a striking red for the Impérial Brut and a vibrant pink for the Rosé – mark the official launch of the holiday season and the Maison’s festive collection.
Each bottle is designed to capture the magic of togetherness – moments filled with love, energy, and celebration – reminding us why Moët & Chandon has been at the heart of life’s greatest gatherings for over 280 years.
To mark the occasion, Moët & Chandon hosted an intimate dinner at a private waterfront residence, one of Sydney’s most extraordinary harbourfront homes – all glass, onyx, and golden light.
Hosted by Moët Hennessy’s Scott Bowie, the evening brought together celebrities and key media, including: Shanina Shaik, Lara Worthington, Montana Cox, Bryn Chapman Parish, Elliot Garnaut, Remy Hill and Tom Derickx, for a night steeped in the red hues of the season and crowned by the official launch of the holiday campaign.
Guests gathered around a towering Moët & Chandon champagne display, dining on a champagne-paired feast by multi-hatted chef Joel Bickford. Between signature Moët moments and flickers of laughter across the table, the evening built to a spectacular crescendo – a dazzling drone display over Sydney Harbour that transformed the skyline itself into part of the celebration.
The night sky glowed in the Maison’s signature red and gold, animated with icons from Paris and Sydney – the Eiffel Tower, the Opera House – and messages of joy written in light: From Paris to Sydney, Happy Holidays, and Moët & Chandon With Love.
Beyond the event, the festive spirit continues. The limited-edition bottles are available now in Dan Murphy’s stores, alongside Moët & Chandon’s signature cuvées.
Dan Murphy’s pop-ups in Double Bay and Brighton (12–24 December) will offer customised gifting and gift wrapping, while personalisation is available exclusively through the Maison’s online gifting store at:
shop-au.moet.com/pages/festive-gifting.
Because long after the last cork has popped, and the night fades into memory, it’s those moments of connection – like that dinner by the harbour – that linger.
