Provenance

Provenance and Authenticity

Every bottle is sourced directly from châteaux, domaines, or trusted négociants, with full documentation of provenance. Our sommelier personally verifies each bottle's history and condition. We maintain a digital ledger of acquisition and storage details. Guests may request provenance reports for any wine.

The Cellar Environment

An Architectural Jewel

The Space

The cellar is carved from natural stone with arched alcoves, softly lit to showcase the bottles while preserving their integrity. Walls lined with French oak racking, custom-built by a third-generation cooperage. Lighting uses UV-filtered LEDs to prevent damage to labels and wine. A central tasting table of honed marble seats up to 12 guests.

The Atmosphere

The cellar's acoustics are tuned to absorb sound, creating a hushed atmosphere where the focus is on the wine and conversation. Natural stone walls and a vaulted ceiling create a reverberation time of 0.8 seconds. A subtle scent of aged oak and cool stone enhances the experience. Temperature is maintained at a constant 13°C, with guests provided cashmere wraps.
