The wine experts in the wine department of the Famous French Auction House "Artcurial"

have left nothing to chance and were able to win over arguably one of the best wine cellars in the world, for a wine auction.

The wine experts describe the story around the restaurant, the family and the outstanding wine cellar as follows:

"It’s a pleasure and honour for us to present the contents of the cellar
of the famous gastronomic restaurant Laurent located in Paris’s
golden triangle on auction. In the midst of the bustling city, with its
unique location in the gardens of the rond-point des Champs-Élysées,
this peaceful haven is emblematic of France’s culture.
The restaurant and its prestigious past takes us back in history. It
was at first a hunting pavilion during Louis XIV’s reign and became
an open-air restaurant and dance hall during the French
Revolution........"

"In1860, it was named after its manager, le Laurent was born.
The restaurants cellar is well known for the richness of its selection.
It is a tribute to the selection of Philippe Bourguignon, retired
director who was the “man” of the house for nearly 40 years, after
having been elected best French Sommelier in 1978. Quintessence of
finesse, elegance, the wines are the perfect image of their terroir. The
bottles were cellared in perfect conditions in three underground
cellars under the restaurant. The first for white wines and
Champagnes, the second for the reds, and the third one locked safely
behind bars, with very limited access, where the most prestigious
wines were kept for ageing.
Over 7,500 bottles, with some of the most reputable wines in the word,
and seven emblematic pieces of service furniture are presented in this
catalogue. They will be sold during two sessions on June 23rd and 24th
at 2 pm ........." Please read on here

979 lots from these incredible wine cellar were up for sale and with the selection of wines, bottle sizes and vintages, it was completely understandable that once again in this auction, top prices would be pulverised and price records outbid.
