Artist Eva Jospin was chosen to collaborate as Ruinart’s artist for their 2023 Carte Blanche program. Jospin’s artistic representation, ‘PROMENADE(S),’ was showcased at the event. With a focus on sustainability, Jospin’s work consisted of the raw materials of cardboard, which she cuts and sculpts. Eva invites audiences to dive into a captivating landscape Using various types of art, such as drawings, sculptures, and embroideries.
The connection between Eva’s work and Ruinart’s commitment to art was evident throughout the evening. She can create imaginary worlds of proportions – linking to the relationship to create a wine that embodies a larger vision.

One of the memorable pieces from Jospin’s interpretation includes a collection case around a Jeroboam of Blanc de Blancs. Showcasing her creativity, Jospin transforms the wooden box into a unique art piece. The box features leather straps, surrounded by a crayère scene, a traditional French decor used to age champagne.
Within just a short walk to New York City’s High Line, Maison 1729 will be open to the public and run through the end of June.
