As the first chapter of The Epicurean’s Atlas in France, The Ultimate Champagnes sale represents a particularly special episode in this global sale series: it is the first time ever that a single owner wine auction dedicated exclusively to Champagne has been offered. Assembled over some forty years with care, discover the 1,850 bottles of Champagne from the revered cellars of Pierre Chen – visionary epicurean and aesthete whose wine and art collections are among the most important in the world.
