designed as a short introduction to the cellar mysteries, it's the perfect way to experience a mystery tasting night before diving into the full collection.
what happened at montmartre?
paris, 1958. a small wine bar in montmartre prepares for an intimate evening tasting. four guests gather around a single bottle, expecting nothing more than good conversation and a glass of wine.
but moments before the first pour, someone removes the bottle's label. without it, nobody knows exactly what vintage they're about to taste or why someone wanted its identity to remain a secret. as suspicions grow, your group must examine the clues, question each suspect and uncover who removed the label before the mystery is revealed.

each player takes on a role for the evening – no acting skills needed, just a name, a goal and a few secrets.
