Michel-Jack Chasseuil is simply a passionate man, far from being a speculator he is above all a collector. 
Born in the Deux-Sèvres region where he still lives, he is now famous for his incredible collection of 50,000 bottles of great wines from around the world.
From a modest background, nothing destined him to become a wine collector recognized throughout the world. At first a worker, he later became an industrial designer for Dassault. Sent to South Africa, on his return, he has an additional string to his bow
Rare are the employees who speak English, so he takes care of big contracts for the company and invites the big clients to the most beautiful restaurants of the capital, the Tour d'Argent, the Georges V, the Taillevent. He tasted the greatest wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, which finally convinced him to expand his collection of great wines.
At the end of the 80's, when he was only 47 years old, he took advantage of a wave of redundancies to leave the company. As a young retiree, he devoted himself fully to the restoration of the family home and to his already extensive collection. 
In the 1980s, there were already more than 50 vintages of Château d'Yquem, in 2009 the number increased to 120 and he did not stop there.
In the 60's, while in the countryside table wines and cider were flowing, he started his wine collection with some small drinking wines.
At the beginning of the 1970s, he began to turn to the great classified growths, the great wines of Burgundy and the vintage champagnes.
Today his cellar extends over 50 meters long, for a total surface of 400 m2 under the floor of his house. The cellar is divided into four parts: spirits, white and sparkling wines, reds and world wines (such as Argentina, Austria, Canada, Chile, Mexico, Switzerland, etc.).
The cellar has nearly 50,000 bottles, including about 3,000 magnums and a hundred or so large formats from double magnum, jeroboam to nabuchodonosor of Château d'Yquem, i.e. a 15L bottle.

Michel-Jack Chasseuil wants to pass on this extraordinary collection as a universal heritage.
In 2020, he created his foundation to protect and perpetuate his heritage. He is working on the creation of an international museum of rare wines and spirits, a "Louvre of wine" as he likes to say, in order to share his collection and his passion with the greatest number of people.
