DP CELLAR


The Dom Perignon cellar is at the basement of Moet Chandon's HQ and it is a complete maze of countless number of tunnels after tunnels that never seem to end.

To start with the entrance looks more like an art decor museum than a wine cellar. Once you are inside one is immediately mesmerized by the surreal lighting, as shown. Then comes the sheer immensity of the champagne, all resting under cryptic labels, literally thousands and thousands of them, immaculately stacked. Imagine ... if your job is to stack 6000-8000 of these (as shown in one of the small cellars) what would you be thinking when you are at it? This is not about tossing them on top of each other either but the regimen of where and when each bottle should be, so they will not be confused. Just a quick walk around the space that is opened to the public, which must be an insignificant percentage of the inventory, took over an hour. Ming-boggling!
