Top 5 French stars who have invested in wine

By dint of travelling around the world, from filming to filming and from concerts to concerts, some of our French stars have developed a definite taste for the land. A beautiful passion for wine which led them to offer themselves a second profession: that of winemaker. True passion or whim, who are these wine-loving stars who have chosen to work the land?

Gérard Depardieu and the Château de Tigné in Anjou

Carole Bouquet and the Sangue d'Oro in Sicily

Carole Bouquet preferred to settle off the coast of Sicily, on the volcanic island of Pantelleria, to make a candied and fruity wine of which one says only good things. Lovers of passito, you can let yourself be tempted.
