A MAGNIFICENT COLLECTION OF FINEST BURGUNDY
The following 156 lots include some of the finest Burgundies ever put into bottle and cover many of the most iconic producers from the Cøte de Nuits. The wines come from the private collection of a connoisseur who has strong links to the greatest Domaines; almost all the wines were purchased direct, on release. The wines have been stored in a temperature-controlled, purpose-built cellar since purchase and are in perfect condition with excellent levels and labels. Highlights of the collection include a spectacular array of wines from the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti; a collection that includes every great vintage from 1983 through to the latest releases and treats buyers to a range of bottle formats. The rare, singular Grand Cru wines from J.F. Mugnier feature in abundance, as do those of Rousseau, Roumier and Méo -Camuzet. Looking over the collection must be a joyful experience for any serious Burgundy collector; we are delighted to be in a position to impart such joy.
