After the French national football team, David Beckham discovers wine from Chateau La Grace Dieu des Prieurs.
Yesterday, in Nicole Rubi’s La Petite Maison restaurant in Nice, David Beckham and his entire family, who are taking a holiday break on the French Riviera, tasted a Bordeaux wine from Chateau La Grace Dieu des Prieurs, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Art Russe Collection, owned by the RCF president Andrey Filatov and managed by Laurent Prosperi.
David Beckham took to Instagram to express his gratitude for the excellent vintage served to him (2015): “Thanks for the great wine,” wrote the celebrated football player on his social media page.
After the footballers of the French national team, who, following their victory, received 25 cases of Chateau La Grace Dieu des Prieurs, it was the turn of David Beckham to taste the Bordeaux wine, which has been on the wine list of Nicole Rubi’s prestigious Cote d'Azur restaurant La Petite Maison for more than a year.
It is worth noting that the President of the Russian Chess Federation has bridged chess and art in his wine business: Art Russe Saint-Emilion Grand Cru gift cases incorporate a chessboard, while standard wine labels are replaced with reproductions of iconic Russian paintings. Thus, Andrey Filatov initiates foreign consumers not only to his wine, but also to the world of Russian art.
