The groundbreaking new venture Domus Artium Reserve—brings together royalty from the world of top chefs and winemaking minds—launches today with the establishment of exclusive wine offerings and boundary-pushing new bottlings. Multi-award winning chefs Thomas Keller, Yannick Alléno, Carlo Cracco and master wine-makers Michel Rolland and Riccardo Cotarella, together with wine critic Antonio Galloni celebrated the launch at the legendary Ristorante Cracco in Milan, began with two major wine announcements:
It was revealed that Chef Keller and oenological legend Michel Rolland are collaborating on a debut offering, a French Bordeaux blend, which will be made available later this year in a limited first run to be sold in Keller’s world-famous restaurants including Per Se and The French Laundry as well as via an exclusive waitlist.
In very exciting boundary-pushing news, Michel Rolland and Riccardo Cotarella have announced they have partnered to create the world’s first 50/50 French-Italian wine, Four Hands. Rolland has a hang in the world wine blend, Pangea. This news is sure to pique the interest of consumers and wine professionals all over the world.
Waitlist registration for both wines is available now at domusartiumreserve.com
The event, also attended by renowned sommelier Tony Sasa and club managing director Gregory Salinger, celebrated the news that Domus Artium Reserve membership inquiries are now being accepted. Members will not only have access to unparalleled culinary, wine and arts events and be able to enjoy partner clubhouses across Europe, but at its highest tier will be able to achieve the previously unthinkable: to have the opportunity to make their own French or Italian wine with oenological luminaries Rolland and Cotarella–a priceless opportunity for discerning wine enthusiasts.
Thomas Keller commented: “ To have the opportunity to develop a unique wine alongside legendary winemaker Michel Rolland and to work alongside Riccardo Cotarella, Antonio Galloni and fellow chefs Yannick Alléno and Carlo Cracco is for me a dream come true. Domus Artium Reserve brings together the best of the best and it’s inspiring to be part of this collaborative partnership as a founder. I look forward to being able to lead in curating unique and immersive experiences for our members.”
Michel Rolland added: “The connection between wine and cuisine is of course inseparable. To be able to work with Thomas and Riccardo to create these unique wines is a once in a lifetime opportunity. All this has been made possible through Domus Artium Reserve, which not only has given us the opportunity to make these wines together but also to bring a truly unique immersive culinary, wine, arts and social experience to our members. I can’t wait for other people to enjoy not only our wine but also experience all that the Domus Artium Reserve membership has to offer.”
