Robotic treasure recovery planned for century-old buried Champagne storage room
Due to serious risk to human life, robot recovery is planned for reaching a possible stash of over 1 million bottles of Champagne trapped beneath Pol Roger’s cellars since structural collapse in 1900.
In February last year, using sonar technology, Pol Roger unearthed 26 bottles of intact Champagne, which are believed to come from the 1898 vintage.
Pol Roger reported that they are potable, with the corks still in tact.

Local gyms, climbing centers, and even furniture stores provide the obstacles and we provide the “hydration stations†between the obstacles. Attendee’s get to have a taste of some local beer to help get them through the course while the “spectator section†enjoys live music, food, and a selection of local brews as well.
