The establishment created by Henning Thoresen, a Norwegian wine merchant who has always wanted to make the most prestigious Bordeaux wines accessible "by the glass", opened its doors to the public in October 2009.Just as you wouldn't buy a car without trying it out," explains manager Laetitia Jiménez, "before buying a Grand Cru, you have to taste it".
