Where is this in France ?

The French more or less nationalized Leonardo da Vinci in 2019, the 500th anniversary of his death. I remember the press coverage. Where: a nice manoir, Château Clos Lucé in Amboise.

Yep, over to you!

Stepping out of line, sorry, another country but there is a link with France, should not be too difficult.....

[RobertArthur]

Not a direct link, but a hint: Leonardo + wine.

Nomoss, yes, correct. When we visited Milan there was a panel in the garden explaining the recent history, a summary: "The site of the old vineyard was covered by debris of the bombing in 1943. After excavations at the site they managed in 2014 to identify the grape variety grown by Leonardo: Malvasia di Candia Aromatica. The Expo 2015 witnessed the rebirth of Leonardo da Vinci's vineyard, the original layout back again, more than four centuries later." The building also restored to its old glory. Lovely courtyard.

Around 330 bottles of the ‘Leonardo da Vinci wine’ have been made from the 2018 harvest. Price?

Maybe an easy one for some.....
