Thousands of precious bottles slumber under high security in Paris wine cellars. Celebrity burglaries have been increasing for several months.
Obtaining precise information on the treasures hidden in the cellars of the wealthiest amateurs will not have been an easy task. Some will have exchanged their confessions on the condition of complete anonymity. Trained late or from adolescence, obsessive about a region, a winemaker, or insatiably curious, we can easily imagine the wealthy amateur sitting on cases of Petrus, Yquem, and Romanée-Conti. Like Mr. D., former CEO of a large listed group, who did not wish his identity to be revealed. Despite a schedule that takes him to travel the world continuously, he says: "when I'm at home, there's not a day without me going down to the cellar." A "cellar" designed with even more care than that of the great Parisian wine merchants, designed by the architect behind the design of... Alain Ducasse.
