Icon-Icon Opinion :

A glass of 2015 Château d’Yquem says all about exquisiteness of french wine. Château d’Yquem is the only Premier Cru Supérieur (the term describing classification of wine from Bordeaux) of all the wines of Sauternes, since it was by Napoleon III in 1855. Its dedication to the nature- the temperamental climate ruling hillsides around- is what makes the excellence and exclusive character of this wine. Few palaces that give the spirit of wine are worth mentioning: the one of Louis XIV, Napoleon III or even Thomas Jefferson who wrote in 1787, after his visit to France, that Château d’Yquem is the best French white wine.

    The Hôtel de Bourrienne is the only private residence that remains in Paris to recall the atmosphere of the Directoire and the Consulate. A series of small miracles has made this two hundred year continuity possible: since the end of the Age of Enlightenment, great speculators, financiers, manufacturers and captains of industry have succeeded one another within its walls in order to preserve a heritage that is rich in memories. After four years of ambitious restoration, the architecture and decorations are once again revealed with singularity and elegance.

    This book is Robert Polidori’s portrait of the interiors of the now demolished Hotel Petra in Beirut, a grand icon of the city’s prewar history. The Hotel Petra was once one of the most popular hotels in Beirut, conveniently located in the city center adjacent to the Grand Theatre. After the Lebanese Civil War of 1975-90, Rafiq al-Hariri founded a holding company, Solidere, whose goal was the selective demolition and reconstruction of downtown Beirut’s urban fabric. In 1992 the Hotel Petra was set aside for later restoration, and from that moment essentially cut off from any human intervention.
