"The wine of Champagne is the only one that makes women beautiful after drinking."
(Attributed to Madame de Pompadour, mistress to Louis XV)
I'm Drinking Stars tells the luxurious story of champagne over 400 years. Pivoting around one of champagne's pioneers Dom Pérignon and the brand named after him, the book explores the delectable overlap between history and legend. In late 17th-century France the modest abbey in the Champagne village of Hautvilliers collected its taxes from farmers in the form of grapes. The Benedictine monk Dom Pérignon was responsible for the production of wine at the abbey, and by refining his techniques over 47 years he anticipated the méthode champenoise and created in his own words, "the best wine in the world". Through Dom Pérignon's wine both the abbey and its region became famous. I'm Drinking Stars traces Dom Pérignon's elaborate history through the 17th, 18th, and 20th centuries: from the monk's initial experiments, to Louis XV's hedonistic court at Versailles; from Marilyn Monroe's glamorous patronage of the champagne, to Karl Lagerfeld's recent creations for the brand. The book contemporizes the Poliphilus font, based on a Renaissance type cut by Francesco Griffo and revised by Stanley Morison in the 1920s. With a spectrum of images and texts from artists and writers as diverse as François Boucher, Denis Diderot, Jonathan Swift and Guido Mocafico, the book's refinement mimics that of the champagne it pays homage to.
