This exceptional nectar, the favorite elixir of the great of this world, served at the tables of Princes and poets, is one of the most prestigious wines in the world. It is said that the Emperor Napoleon had thirty bottles shipped from it each month during his exile in Saint Helena. Produced since 1685 near the city of Cape Town in South Africa, Vin de Constance represents the quintessence of Muscat de Frontignan. The historic bottle, hand-sealed with a wax cap, gives Vin de Constance all its unique and legendary dimension. It is now on display at the London Design Museum. Voted 10th best wine in the world out of 100, by the Wine Spectator.
