OFFERINGS FROM A WORLD
CLASS CELLAR
|
|
|
We are very excited to offer this wonderful cellar from a prominent New York Collector. This auction has something for everyone; from the very best of the New World to cases of First-Growth Bordeaux and Grand Cru Burgundy. With very few exceptions these wines have been professionally stored since release, and their condition has to be seen to be believed. Many of the wooden cases were still banded when we received them, with bottles retaining their tissue wrapping. Celebrate with large format Champagne, linger over dinner with a truly great bottle of Bordeaux, and finish up with perfectly stored Sauternes that has had time to mature; this is your opportunity to stock your cellar for the year’s festivities!
