Introduction to the Wine Bottle Club

Wine Bottle Club is the result of a collaboration between two professionals passionate about the wine world, Louis de Bonnecaze and Philip Butterflyand two tech enthusiasts, Florent Coulon and Maxime Garraud.

Louis de Bonnecaze first directed Lasserre & Butterfly with his partner Philippe Papillon, a Bordeaux wine merchant specialized in the greatest vintages of the region such as the Château Cheval Blanc, the very prestigious Château Margaux or the Château Angelus.

Louis is also the founder of BTC Wine, a wine sales service based directly in Bordeaux, the capital of the vine. BTC Wine offers a direct sales service from professionals to individuals, but also an online sales service that serves more than 30 countries around the world.

You will be able to find there the greatest wines of Burgundy, but also Italian and Spanish wines as well as renowned champagnes such as the very great vintage Dom Pérignon. But above all, what makes BTC Wine special is that, as its name suggests, the winery accepts Bitcoin (BTC) as a means of payment. You understood correctly: BTC Wine allows you to buy a Petrus in Bitcoin.

Philippe Papillon is none other than the CEO and founder of Lasserre & Papillonand who, through his experience of investing in the greatest vintages and trading Bordeaux wines across Asia, promises to offer the best of French wine heritage.

The meeting with Maxime Garraud and Florent Coulon switches the project to Web 3.0the latter having completed his dual HEC / Mines PariTech thesis on food traceability via the blockchain.

These 4 enthusiasts have decided to pool their talents to create Wine Bottle Club : a project of unique non-fungible token (NFT) that allows digital bottle holders to see them backed by the greatest Bordeaux wines. Plus, it opens the door to the Wine Bottle Club and the multitude of benefits that come with it.
