shipwreck Jonkoping, which was sunk off Rauma, Finland in 1916. It has, to this day, been authenticated to have retained its taste, color and sparkle, having been stored for 82 years at a constant temperature of four degrees Centigrade, in total darkness, surrounded by fresh water and the pressure that you find at a depth of 64 meters in the Baltic Sea. For your good taste in ordering such a precious bottle, the hotel will offer you the accompaniment of Petrossian caviar Beluga with blinis, home made smoked salmon and foie gras. Hopefully the taste will linger until the next opportunity you have to return to this magical place in the exotic French Riviera.
