The Mona Lisa Heist in Paris: When Art, Intrigue, and Law Collide

This week on Wine by the Case: Uncorking Legal Insight One Bottle at a Time, Alexis and Chris pour themselves into a story that has the art world—and the legal world—buzzing.

A high-stakes jewelry heist inside the Louvre Museum has stunned Paris, with thieves executing an Ocean’s Eleven-style daylight robbery and vanishing with royal jewels once tied to Napoleon himself.

How did they pull it off in one of the most secure museums on Earth? What happens next for the Louvre, its insurers, and international law enforcement? And what are the legal implications when cultural treasures with royal provenance disappear?

As always, Alexis and Chris take you beyond the headlines, uncorking complex questions of art law, insurance liability, and cultural heritage—all through their signature mix of wit, insight, and good wine.

This Week’s Pour: Monnalisa Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore DOC
To complement the mystery, they’re sipping an Italian red as smooth and layered as the heist itself:
Monnalisa Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore DOC — an elegant wine from Emilia-Romagna, rich with cherry, plum, and spice. A bottle that embodies art, beauty, and a touch of rebellion.
Available at LCBO for $37.95
