The Facts

Artcurial will present The Cellar of Les Climats restaurant, Paris, through a series of dedicated auctions from October 2026. The cellar, assembled between 2013 and 2023 by Carole Colin and Denis Jamet, contains more than 17,000 bottles across over 3,000 lots, with a strong focus on Burgundy wines. Approximately 60% of the wines are red and 40% white, with vintages from 2015 to 2023 well represented. The collection spans from regional appellations to Grand Crus, offering a comprehensive overview of Burgundy's vineyard.

The Signal

The auction of this cellar is a major event for wine collectors, given the quality, provenance, and coherence of the selection. The wines were meticulously chosen over a decade through direct relationships with producers, and stored in professionally maintained, naturally cool and humid conditions. The sale provides a rare opportunity to acquire bottles from a collection that reflects both a human adventure and a deep passion for Burgundy's terroirs, encompassing iconic appellations from the Côte de Nuits to the Mâconnais.
