Custom wine cellar – Varnished wenge
Courchevel 2010

About This Project

Environment

The epitome of luxury…. The lucky tenants of this chalet have a wine cellar fully stocked with outstanding wines and the services of an in-house sommelier… and what could be pleasanter than to choose your wine from the edge of the adjoining swimming pool. Enjoy for a weekend or a week, depending on your means.

Special characteristics

The units are made entirely of wenge, which, although extremely tough, had to be given a special treatment to cope with the humidity levels caused by the adjacent swimming pool. While the cellar matures bottles at 12°, the wine cabinets built into the central island are used to store bottles at variable temperatures, ready to drink.
