After the discovery of the imperial collection by the Red Army in 1920, it was entrusted to a family close to the ruling power. In 1941, following the invasion of Crimea by the Nazis, the collection was dispersed and hidden throughout Crimea.

Between 1997 and 2010, Michel-Jack Chasseuil brought back about fifteen bottles from the imperial cellar in his suitcases.
