Their own vineyards are farmed entirely organically and the first harvest is expected in 2022. This includes the six partner estates also located on the Ile de France, set up in collaboration with the local Chamber of Agriculture. The aim from now is to increasingly work only with vineyards in the Paris region. So far plantings are concentrated on six varieties – Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, along with a small range of rare grape varieties seen in the region in the 19th century.Īround 20% of overall production is being made on the Eiffel Tower and will be sold under the name La Chai de la Tour Eiffel, with the rest vinified in Montreuil. ‘And was watched by 25,000 people who followed it via Facebook Live.’ ‘We planted 16ha at first, and our inaugural harvest was picked by our investors and friends, people who have followed the project since the beginning. ‘In 2016, we had the opportunity to purchase a piece of land in a village called Davron – 27ha of a larger farm that had been lying fallow for the past 15 years because of poor clay-limestone soils that were not great for the cereals that are planted on the rest of the farm. ‘We are not a typical urban winery because this is also an agricultural project,’ says Brustis. The team had initially asked for €500,000. The 2019 vintage will be the first from their own vineyard, on sale in September 2020, with setup costs partly paid for with through an oversubscribed crowdfunding campaign that raised €755,190 from 107 investors. The top cuvée is called Judgement of Paris as a nod to Steven Spurrier’s game-changing 1976 tasting. The first four years saw the team draw on partnerships with 15 winemakers around France, selling 100,000 bottles across 15 labels to independent wine merchants and key restaurants across Paris, including those of the SETE. The company’s main winery is located in a former print works in Montreuil, a suburb to the east of Paris. ‘And they could also see that it could attract locals back to the Eiffel Tower, to give them an authentic reason to reclaim this space that is anchored in their own history and culture.’ ‘They could see the potential for promoting wines made in the region, for supporting local agriculture and gastronomy. ‘We created the pop-up in association with the Société d’Exploitation de la tour Eiffel and catering services company Sodexo,’ says Pelissié. ‘In fact that risk is one of the reasons that this has been so successful,’ says Pelissié, technical director of the project, and who has previously worked with Château Angélus in St-Emilion and Philippe Melka in Napa Valley, among others.

Reducing the tower's carbon footprint and taking on sustainable developmental practices were also equally important to SETE. For the Société d’Exploitation de la tour Eiffel (SETE), it was important that the modernity of the tower went hand-in-hand with respecting its heritage. The aim was to improve the performance of this historic machinery because of its unique prototype. The project that began in October 2008, was only completed in 2014. In 2008, the project of replacing the West pillar elevators and returning to the original machines imagined by Gustave Eiffel in collaboration with the Fives-Lille company was taken up. In the East and West pillars, Roux-Combaluzier elevators were in service and were replaced in 1899 by Five-Lille hydraulic elevators, which are still in use today. In 1965, a new Schneider lift was installed on the North pillar, which is still running today. The lifts in the North and South pillars were replaced with Otis elevators, and in 1983 were replaced with double cabins. They were dismantled in 1910.
The original hydraulic lifts were renovated for the 1900 World Exhibition. A one-of-a-kind Edoux elevator was put into service between the second and third floors. Originally, there were 5 lifts, one for each pillar of the tower, and another one that went to the summit from the second floor. The lifts came into existence very soon after the Eiffel Tower was opened in 1889.
