I especially remember the wine, because it was in Gigondas and the first night we played, I had an absolutely monumental drunk. Me who absolutely never drank! It’s not very artistic”recalls Marie-Anne Chazel with a laugh. “I have so many memories. There are too many with The Splendid”concludes the former partner of Christian Clavier with a big smile.
