THE world's third largest container shipping company, CMA
CGM, announced that the 420 bottles of Burgundy wine have arrived in Le
Havre on September 17 after more than three months at sea on board the vessels CMA
CGM Manet and CMA CGM Azure.
The operation was organised by CMA CGM and JF
Hillebrand, the world's leading wines and spirits logistics provider,
together with the Confrerie du Tastevin in to promote Burgundy and show
container transport preserves wine's aroma and flavour.
The 80-day trip around the world began
on June 14 in the great tradition of epics inspired by Jules Verne, from the Panama
Canal to the Suez Canal, Sydney, Singapore, via Port Kelang, Chennai, Colombo,
Damietta, Malta, Genoa, Tilbury, Rotterdam and Hamburg, completing
their journey across five continents.
During a ceremony on June 7 at the Chateau du Clos de
Vougeot, the selected wines were loaded in a reefer box that mainstains the
wine at a constant 15 degrees centigrade providing both protection and proper
preservation during transport.
In mid-October wine tasting will be held to compare the
wines that travelled with those that were stored in the Cistercian cellar
during the time of the trip.
