Montmartre wine survives on a hill near Paris landmarks
The Clos de Montmartre on the rue des Saules remains a historic vineyard once part of the village. Vines were reestablished in 1945 and each harvest is carried to City Hall for crushing. The 1977 vintage fetched about $17,000, with cases and single bottles selling for up to $1,000 and $20 respectively, driven by rarity and village art decoration.
