Eight bottles of rare French Chateau d'Yquem wine, over 130 years old, were found hidden under the floor of a Czech castle. The winery restored the wine after testing confirmed its authenticity, and the bottles will be part of a planned public exhibition alongside other old wines.
Key Facts
The wine is Chateau d'Yquem, a famous and expensive sweet white wine from Bordeaux, France.

The wine was rediscovered ten years ago during an inventory check, leading to a careful restoration by Chateau d'Yquem experts.
Laboratory tests confirmed the wine's authenticity, and the winery replaced corks and sealed the bottles to protect them.
