Founded in 1994 by a wine aficionado, Lionel MICHELIN, DE VINIS ILLUSTRIBUS moved, in September 2004, into the Parisian premises of Jean-Baptiste BESSE 48 rue de la Montagne-Sainte-Geneviève with its ancient wine cellar. This is the mythical address where this famous wine merchant welcomed wine aficionados from all over the world. In this unique place dedicated to wine, where conviviality and expertise are leitmotifs, DE VINIS ILLUSTRIBUS has :

  • a large selection of venerable wines
  • a selection of recent wines
  • wine theme artefacts and utility objects

    and also a large range of services :
  • organisation of evening wine tastings
  • wine cellar expertise and support
  • marriage gifts
  • wine evaluation and acquisition

    A special place, DE VINIS ILLUSTRIBUS.

    Neither a traditional wine store, even less a “virtual boutique”, DE VINIS ILLUSTRIBUS is at the disposition of the general public seeking an idea for a gift, wine information, as well as the serious aficionado seeking out special bottles of wine and obviously for collectors of rare wines.
