A REMARKABLE COLLECTION OF FINE CLARET FROM A SOUTH AMERICAN CELLAR
LOTS 61-126
Lying in Wiltshire
We are pleased to present this remarkable collection of fine claret.
The following wines have been recently removed from a purpose-built, temperature and humidity controlled warehouse where they have lain undisturbed since original purchase directly from Bordeaux. All the wines were purchased in large tranches in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The wines have been recently shipped in temperature-controlled containers to Christie's Warehouse in Wiltshire.
Unless otherwise stated, the wines are in original wooden cases and have been opened for the first time by Christie's wine department staff for inspection purposes. The merits of good storage are clearly evident, condition and levels being superb for wines of this age. Levels are top-shoulder or better unless stated otherwise and we encourage you to attend the pre-sale tasting to sample bottles in advance. All the bottles have Argentinian slip labels and neck-slips.
Offered in original wooden cases
A sample bottle of each wine will be presented at the pre-sale tasting.
