The Antique Wine Company is proud to
present
a unique selection of fine wines from the
mayoral
cellars of Jacques Chirac.
Prior to taking over the Presidency of
France, M. Chirac amassed a spectacular range of classic
wines from the greatest Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne
producers. These bottles were stored under ideal
conditions in the Paris City Hall.
Jacques Chirac is a controversial and intriguing
personality, who enjoyed his role as a host and wine
collector. As he leaves the office of President, these
wines live on for other palates to savour.
To enhance the display of the collection, The Antique
Wine Company has also commissioned the world's leading
cabinet makers, Viscount
Linley, to create a unique architectural scale
model of Paris City Hall which will contain the most
valuable bottles.
Wine is not merely a beverage, but adds conversation
and interest to the events around which it is shared.
Containing over 362 extraordinary bottles including the
stunning Romanée Conti 1986, Krug 1976 and Haut Brion
1989, each bearing a commemorative neck seal the Paris
City Hall Cellar will offer its new owner the
opportunity to enjoy the finest wines of France, adding
historic colour that is certain to provide entertainment
for decades to come.
It has been a great privilege for me to handle some of
the world’s most fascinating wine transactions in the
past. This offering represents the pinnacle of interest
and I know it will appeal to many of our clients on all
six continents.
We are now opening negotiations to sell this complete
collection and welcome offers above
