MAGNIFICENT COLLECTING SPANNING THE GLOBE
Few collections can match the breadth and depth of this consignment. The owner of this cellar, a long standing friend to Christie's, has spent nearly fifteen years amassing this cache of incredible wine, in great depth. Not only did the collector focus on buying widely across regions and producers within each, he also bought in great quantity. Cases upon cases of the best greeted our eyes when we traveled to inspect this collection. The sheer quantity of 1985 Sassicaia amassed made it seem like an easy wine to procure, when in fact the consignor purchased every single bottle he could find over the past 15 years. Cases of Lafite were stacked floor to ceiling, along side of Mouton and Margaux. Even a cursory glance will give away the secret of his favorite Champagne: we offer here over 10 cases of the 1996 Dom Pérignon Rosé.
A significant portion of this consignor's collection is being offered in New York on November 12th and 13th, with a focus on the New World. Here, we proudly present the majority of the claret collection, with only the very best of wine, condition and vintage on offer. Every lot is not to be missed, with stunning examples of 1982, 1989 and 1998 Pétrus , a case of 1985 Sassicaia and a very rare 6 bottle lot of perfect 1994 Montrachet from Domaine de la Romanée Conti that are all consecutively numbered, making it one of the rarest lots on offer.
The consignor has recently completed the construction of a new home with a new cellar to match, and we proudly offer those wines that could not fit in the updated space. He is a passionate and generous collector, a true gentleman and a pleasure to work with.
The wines were sourced from a variety of reputable merchants, brokers and auctions and were placed immediately in professional storage of impeccable quality under constant temperature and humidity control, until they were removed by Christie's specialists for this sale. Bid with confidence from this most impressive cellar.
