Who is the duo of the “Wine Louvre”, the collection of the most rare bottles of the world

“No bear”, the self-imposed mandate of the guardian of the quiz is the collection of the most surprising wines of the world, one that has been cultivated for decades and has treasures of more than one seal of antiquity, per persisted by the first discipline of his twenties, who judged jamber beber the liquid liquid that was deposited in his rare bottles.

His name is Michel-Jack Chasseuil, he is 79 years old and he has dedicated 40 months to collecting the most extraordinary wines of the world, which has its own hoy in day of the most caros that we will meet.

These treasures are stored in a bodega a la que Chasseuil le apoda “The Louvre del Vino”, and is located in La Chapelle-Bâton, a small town of the Deux-Sèvres region in the west of France.

In this place, large wine bars that suelen ser the delite of wine-loving tourists, llegan all type of characters, looking for a holy grail, convene a Chasseuil that sells some of their wines or peor only if they try.

But the old collectionist resists, for the wine is art and its bodega a large gallery that guards, of a different form, a part of the history of humanity.

“Those who want to visit the best bodega of the world should come here”, says the collector in one of the books he has published on the theme of his passions: 100 years ago: of the finest bodega of the world.

En dicha bodega has more than 40 mil bottles, between those 3 mil magnums, up to 100 years old. Among the most detailed treasures are the most ancient Armagnac of the World (1797), one of 1830, 1811 cones (the year of the comet), Marsalas of Sicily of the XIX century and the largest bottles produced in 1735 up to date, cultivated Classifieds of Burdeos, grands crus de Borgoña, châteauneuf-du-pape, solo en grandes añadas: 1900, 1921, 1929, 1945.

The bottles are almacenas in a sanitary species, which is the original bodega of his house in La Chapelle-Bâton, which has its properties and is now the property. Everywhere you look today, the tide of protectionist sentiment is flowing, and Ali Baba’s cave species are protected by blind gates and a state-of-the-art treadmill, special locks and gas.

In the depths of these pasadizos there is a dwelling where the bottles are guarded, here only wines have exclusive wines like Peter, Yquem Castle, Blanc Cheval or Coche-Dury; sino que también hay botellas de whiskey, ron, chartreuse, sake y otras bebidas. The only condition for repossession in the “alcoholarium” of Chasseuil is that each bottle must be a rarity.

Following a striped tunnel and bay, which connects to a bunker, is located at the main bodega. Here the parades are covered with crucifixes and religious paintings. Bajar is still an experience, as described by women he ido, and is completed with the ceremonial music that evokes the animation to add an atmosphere of reverenial mysticism.

And if it is not for me, then Chasseuil will show his collection as “the cue of humanity”.

El sueño de un coleccionista

Michel-Jack Chasseuil, is the owner of a house and his first affection for the cells, after passing the coins and lying to the minerals. The spirit of the collector is always the same, but it was during the decade of 1970 when he decided to make the wine his favorite object of collection.

For those who work in Dassault, the French company produces civil and military aircraft. It was for South Africa for the 21st year as a caldera, designing warplanes in the middle of apartheid, and when regressed to Paris converts to representative of sales of the company.

Ese vrag le abrió las puertas del mundo, y con esto des los restaurants mas lujosos, donde se reunion a menudo clients de todas partes del mundo, y en medio de cenas y almuerzos de trabajo, probably has a range of wines and other exotic wines, cultivating as well as paladar and its affection.

During the 20 years of working for the company, it was coded with Libyan dignitaries or Belgians who were born in France to buy Mirages – planes designed by Dassault -, recruited large hotels and golf courses, también viajaba mucho y en cada lugar que llegaba se llevaba consigo una bottella rara y costosa.

It was his passion and he was a big part of his salary, which was not for him. Another crucial point for his life was his relationship with Mary Domergue, who was the heiress of the Castle Feytit-Clinet one of the most reconnaissance wines in the Pomeranian region.

She ran away from her big friend and when she mourned the finals of the last day of her finch to Michel-Jack, which has a legal battle of more than 10 years with other vinicultures of the logrói region hacerse with total control of it. Hoy ese vínedo es administrado por su unico hijo.

Finally retired from Dassaul in 1989, Chasseuil decided to work for his son, the consolidation of his Love of the Wine, the path passed through various problems before he could open his doors to the public.

Salvemos el Louvre del Vino

During the last decade Michel-Jack passed various pennies to protect his heritage. First of all, it is against the conditions of conservation that demand its treasures, when it comes to public harassment and including against bounties that it has to deal with. One of the first tests to be able to find a final place for his collection, which means that it requires more care and space.

In his search for the best conditions for his treasures, he deals on various occasions that distinguish governing bodies from the French provinces or from the provinces reconciling their wines with historical heritage. Soñaba con mudar su collection in Saint-Émilion, donde hai unie vieja tonelería llamada Demptos, cerca de las murallas de Plaisance, donde podia assegurarles un buen hogar a sus botellas, pero el auntation de la ciudad estuvo reaction a ese tras.

Therefore, Chasseuil decided to launch a fundraiser to collect funds and for that company reunion with personalities like the principle of Alberto de Mónco – another great collector and enthusiast of wine – the Franco-American emperor Roger Biscay -of Cisco System- and at the same time pushing for political support to establish its wine museum lobbying with the deputy of Deux-Sèvres Delphine Batho or the Minister of Culture Aurélie Filippetti of the era.

In his desperation including the right to arrange to collect his collection for Russia, he has ten contacts with the governor of Valdimir Putin to guarantee the existence of his wines after his death.

“We are the ones who take care of these marvels: in 1945 they contained radioactive screens of the Hiroshima bomb, a unique testament to the location of the men”, le dijo en 2015 a la revista specializada en vines La Revue Du Vin de France.

For these years the French fisco also has been behind them. The great notoriety that habían won the bottles of Chasseuil and the bomb that the staff gave to the press, in particular the review antesionada, llamaron the attention of the authorities, that read to engrave with impuestos the heritage of the collector. The cobra was on the concept of the Solidarity Impact on Fortune and was on the amount of millions of euros.

“My house costs only 350,000 euros and never entered into my session, can I claim the sum?”, dijo por entonces Michel-Jack, pero los agents de fisco le mistron deens de publications in las que hablaban de sus costosas botellas.

His collection, according to estimates by experts, could bring a value of around 40 million euros. In the end it was not in Russia, and there was no need to pay so much money, there was a long legal battle, but in the end the promise of no baby was not to be sold in these bottles because the money was considered as serious.

El robo falido

Quizá el reto má grande que afrontó Michel-Jack Chasseuil fue el día que una unmascarada en armada irrumpió en su casa de La Chapelle-Bâton (Deux-Sèvres), con la firme intenten saquear su legendio soten. The pickpockets are lying on a truck that is supposed to carry wine and tow to the door.

While the truck was salvaging, the attackers demanded the blind man’s slave, and in his defect he was hit by a phalanx with a wall of carnicero. Ignoring the amenazas, talking to Dios en voz alta jubilado se puso de pie y los confronto.

“As soon as I got to him (the repairman), various types of encapsulated and armed me were locked up and I was called ‘call’, ‘no grites’ and I was arrested at the house’, I respect the collector for saying “they have been robbing me for months”.

For more times the encased in the second tier, and terminate by romperle one dedo, per Michel-Jack not the entrego the ubicacion of his more specified wines, the stuban estguan resguadados bajo llave in the most profound part of his bodega, and the llave asegurada en la bóveda de un banco.

Finally, the hitchhikers flew with an important bottling of bottles, but all the proceeds from the Feytit-Clinet wine, in Pomerol, the one waiting for his brother Jérémie, and his BMW. This October to October day will showcase your wines worldwide, although there are many more with whom you can enter to observe your collection.

In his last years he defends the capa and spades the historical importance of his passionate labor and says that he hopes that his wines will be great in life including his own death.

‘Ek supera, my sorprende haberlo puesto todo junto. Do not have to sell a late in the night, please sorevivirme, be used, of the contrary has lost time. On the contrary, I’m going to buy it now, I’m buying a yate and I’ll leave the world with a Ukrainian shirt! For this, it is most sensational to read as “the cue of humanity”.
