Lexden Luxe’s champagne affair in Monaco celebrating The Ultimate Experience
Monaco, with its winter golden glow and unmistakable air of cultivated elegance, proved to be the perfect setting for one of this season’s most refined gatherings
Hosted by Lexden Luxe, the invitation-only champagne affair brought together leaders from across the luxury world – yachting, automotive, design, hospitality, aviation, high-end jewellery – for an evening that unfolded like a study in curated sophistication. At the heart of the celebration was the unveiling of The Ultimate Experience. The Ultimate Experience, Volume I is a curated tribute to the world of high luxury, illuminating the exceptional experiences crafted by the most distinguished global maisons for their Ultra High Net Worth clientele.
This inaugural edition delves into the emotional dimension of luxury moving beyond objects and offerings to reveal the bespoke, transformative moments shaped by icons across private aviation, fine art, yachting, hypercars, haute couture, hospitality, and prime real estate. Each featured brand shares stories, imagery, and values that seamlessly align with the UHNW Client Experience philosophy championed by Lexden Luxe and its MEPA framework. The result is a refined experiential narrative that distills the true essence of contemporary luxury. Conceived as both inspiration and celebration, the book stands as a timeless collectible for tastemakers, luxury leaders, and UHNW individuals around the world.
Champagne was the leitmotif of the night, elevated to an art form thanks to Taittinger, whose signature cuvées flowed throughout the event. Whether enjoyed in delicate vertical tasting moments or paired with culinary offerings, the champagne set the tone: celebratory yet refined. Served in the exquisitely crafted crystal flutes by Josephinenhütte, every pour became a sensory micro-experience. The exceptionally thin, hand-blown glass accentuated the champagne’s aromatics and effervescence, reminding guests that even the smallest details have the power to transform a moment.
Adding to the evening’s sensory tapestry, Ristorante Marixx curated the gastronomic dimension. Their menu was designed to complement the champagne while reflecting Monaco’s cosmopolitan palate. A big tiramisu and delicate sweet creations by I Pasticci di Nina added drama and theatre, creating a moment of shared delight among guests who had drifted between Bentley’s display and cosy corners of conversation.
Lexden Luxe’s reputation for meticulous experience design was evident throughout. A bespoke car diffuser and scent, created by Ladenac as a one-off for the event, lingered in the air like a signature chord, while refined touches curated by Francesca Coppola Design & Wedding Planner ensured the setting felt cohesive and elegant. Between flutes of champagne, guests were drawn to the interactive Happy Selfie installation, blending glamour and playfulness befitting Monaco’s unique character.
While the atmosphere was anchored in the romance of champagne and candlelit conversation, the guest list spanned a remarkable range of luxury sectors. This diversity reflected Lexden Luxe’s belief that UHNW experiences no longer exist in silos. Instead, they form a continuous lifestyle ecosystem.
The presence of Bentley as featured partner highlighted this convergence elegantly. Their interpretation of modern deeply personal luxury mirrored the themes explored in The Ultimate Experience and was echoed in conversations throughout the night.
