Michel Dovaz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michel Dovaz taught wine courses at the Academie du Vin in Paris when he served as a judge at the Paris Wine Tasting of 1976. He subsequently wrote several books on French wine as well as the chapter on Champagne for the Hachette Guide des Vins.
Dovaz was also the owner of a collection of 50+ unrestored oldtimers, which he stored on his estate south of Paris up to 1986. The collection became famous when a German photographer was allowed to take photos of the wrecks in 1983. These photos where published in a book and several magazines all around the world under the name "Sleeping Beauties". The cars have been sold since then.
