The allure of the caveau is undeniable, from the moment you set foot under the portico in wrought iron on the entrance door to Champagne Louis Roederer in Reims. It beckons you into a world where wine flows like sunshine, as they say, "Un Repas sans vins est une journee sans soleil" - a meal without wine is like a day without sunshine. Transport yourself back to the 1920s, where Montmartre Soupers at the Chateau Caveau Cabaret Caucasiens were all the rage. The outbreak of WWII couldn't dampen the spirit of those arriving for cabaret nights in Montmartre. Adverts for Chateau Caveau Cabaret Caucasiens adorned every corner, promising an unforgettable experience. But it's not just about entertainment; it's about discovering new flavors and spirits. Bottles line shelves filled with Raki me Arra grappa type of spirit, Trebiano Trebbiano, E bardha e Beratit - each one telling its own unique story. Venturing deeper into cellars takes you to unexpected places. A cellar nestled within an old stone quarry reveals modern stainless steel fermentation vats at Chateau Belair. A gateway opens up to reveal a hidden gem - a cozy cafe tucked away in Palais-Royal's cellar, inviting you to indulge your senses while sipping on exquisite wines. And then there are stairs leading down to Matusko Winery's wine cellar in Potmje village within Dingac wine region. Each step brings anticipation as you descend further into this underground sanctuary filled with barrels aging fine wines. In these caves lies more than mere storage; they hold history and passion bottled up over time. The caveau is not just a physical space but also an embodiment of culture and tradition that continues to captivate us today.
