There are many examples in the history of Formula 1 when famous drivers or team managers invested money in winemaking, and Jean Alesi is one of those who achieved notable success in this field. Since 1995, he has owned 3.5 hectares of vineyards in the south of France on the territory of the Villeneuve-les-Avignon estate, and from these berries the signature wine Clos Jean Alesi is produced.
However, judging by the information on the website of the company in charge of the production and sale of this wine, it is currently not possible to purchase it – everything is sold out. However, Alesi himself still has reserves in his cellars and this weekend he presented such a bottle to Valtteri Bottas, who is now also investing in making wine, but Australian.
Of course, Valtteri retaliated and handed Jean his Ihana wine, which we talked about a while ago.
The comment on this interesting photo that Bottas published on his social media pages reads: “Comparing wines with Jean Alesi.”
Representatives of different generations of racers and winemakers have not yet shared the results of this comparative analysis.
