A wine sale for the well-heeled

Filed under: France, Randomness, Wine — Nicholas @ 12:30

Some very old (and one hopes, authentic) wines to be auctioned off by La Tour d’Argent in Paris:

A total of 18,000 bottles — including wine from Cognac, Champagne, Burgundy and Bordeaux — will be auctioned.

The sale is intended to raise 1m euros (£0.9m) to renew the cellar’s contents and ensure the restaurant keeps its multiple Michelin stars.

Its wine list is 400 pages long, with no fewer than 15,000 tipples.
