Michel Abood:

If the wine’s palletized and you have a pallet jack, and the truck has a lift, you’re looking at about 1-2 hours’ worth of work. I doubt they could have gotten that many bottles unless it was all ready to go anyway. In fact, it sounds like an insider job, someone knew a shipment was going out and beat the real truck to the punch.

The wines were palletized indeed. 8 and 1 half pallets. The bottles were meant to be exported to the US and Japan.
Will be harder to sell them on the French market (there’s eBay of course) because they miss the “congé” (as they were to be exported) but indeed, I’d be very wary of any “cheap” Selosse found on eBay.
Anselme Selosse said he was determined to prevent the bottles from being sold and wants to find out precisely who committed this -terrible- crime. I will be checking around for Selosse wines “sales” and definitely report any dodgy sale to the domaine.

Cheers

If I was Anselme, first place I’d check is your and Guillaume’s cellars…

Sounds more like burglary to me.

Well it was both wasn’t it, but certainly not robbery…
