BUBBLES & AUSSIE BLOCKBUSTERS
Property of a Gentleman
Recently removed by Christie's Wine Department staff from a lakeside, custom walk-in home cellar maintaining ideal wine storage conditions.
The following selections represent the entire cellar of our client who purchased wines that reflected his passion and palate. This is a collection that was meant to be experienced in the glass and not by the gavel, alas, today that is no longer the case.
As you will see, the wines before you are almost of a singular passion. The pursuit of blockbuster wines of distinction over the last 7-10 years comprises the foundation of the collection. Napa Valley classics such as Araujo, Harlan, Phelps and Screaming Eagle have vertical representation. Prominent New Wave Australian selections from Clarendon Hills, Jasper Hill, Fox Creek, and Greenock Creek are showcased alongside stalwart classics such as Grange, The Dead Arm and Hill of Grace. As you turn these pages you will see all the great releases from the late 90s offered in depth and breadth.
French wine lovers do not fret wines of terroir are represented too. Top Champagne from 1990, Alsace and the luscious, complex sweet wines of Quart de Chaume have great representation.
All wines were purchased either winery direct or from top retailers upon release.
