Buried treasure: the story of a century-old Champagne stash

On Thursday 10 October db was present as the Champagne house of Pol Roger pulled the first corks from its extraordinary discovery.

Having entered the historic cellars, db made its way through long tunnels…

Until reaching a locked gate, which was opened by Pol Roger CEO, Laurent d’Harcourt.

The floor was thick with wet clay and chalk.

But this was as far as db could go, despite the modern reinforcements.
