AN OUTSTANDING RANGE OF MATURE WHITE BURGUNDY AND CLARET FROM 1989, 1985 AND 1982, FROM A COUNTRY HOUSE CELLAR IN SOUTHERN ENGLAND
These wines lots (1-150) have been stored in underground, temperature-controlled cellarage since shipment after bottling until their removal for this sale.
The owner's enthusiasms have been almost exclusively for great Claret and top White Burgundy from leading growers. Why is he selling? For two main reasons; his cellars are full to bursting and many of the wines he so carefully bought have now reached full maturity. His passion for collecting, and his love of visiting France, mean that he certainly does not wish to stop buying wines from new vintages, as good wine appear. So, space must be made, and mature wines be disposed of, so they may be drunk at their peaks.
From Bordeaux, there is a comprehensive range of First Growths from 1982, 1985 and 1989 (particularly the latter), with many other lovely wines, including First Growths 1983.
Unless otherwise stated, all the Bordeaux is offered in original wooden cases, and is of excellent appearance, levels being into neck.
The outstanding range of mature White Bugundies begins at lot 76. AH.
Château Latour--Vintage 1966
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Schroder & Schyler slip labels. Bin-soiled labels. Levels: three base of neck or better, two very top, two top, two upper/top, one upper and two mid-shoulder
Tasting note: Fine clour; fragrant cedary bouquet, unblemished flavour and condition with time in hand. A flavoury, beautifully textured wine. MB. October 2000
