The
5,000-bottle cellar of French president
Jacques Chirc brought in over $1.2 million at auction this week. The wines were collected by Chirac while he was mayor of Paris. The bottles which came from the city hall's grand wine cellar earned 961,030 euros ($1,212,147) easily besting the estimate of 700,000 euros. The high ticket items were two bottles of 1986 Romanee Conti (which never fails to hit big numbers) that went to Britain's
Antique Wine Company for 5,000 euros each. The sale was ordered by Socialist Mayor Bertrand Delanoe because he was made aware the the collection could bring in big bucks.
