AN MAGNIFICENT PRIVATE COLLECTION OF TOP-QUALITY BORDEAUX, BURGUNDY FROM DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE CONTI AND SINGLE VINEYARD RHONES FROM GUIGAL
It is always a pleasure to see an unerring eye for quality from a true collector and knowledgeable connoisseur. The following lots 770 to 866 represent a small selection from a collection amassed over the last twenty-five years by both an avid collector and drinker of fine wines. All of the wines were purchased from reputable, continental merchants and stored in an impeccable, temperature and humidity controlled purpose built cellar. All were purchased on release and have only been moved prior to sale by Christie's staff.
Recently shipped from an excellent private cellar on the Continent where the wines have laid undisturbed since original purchase and now lying in Gloucestershire at Christie's (Octavian)
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
One capsule missing
Tasting note: still impressively deep and comparatively youthful; a well developed, sweet harmonious bouquet. Mouthfilling, so much on show, so much left to show. M.B. (April 2001)
See also lots 70,126 to 130, 643 to 644.
