BORDEAUX LEGENDS OF THE 20TH CENTURY
This collection is a dream list of Bordeaux superstars from the five first growths, Pétrus and Cheval spanning from 1921 to 96. Climatic conditions were found to be ideal in the cellar and close examination of the color of specific wines showed them to be vibrant and deep. In particular, the 67 d'Yquem, 47 Clinet and magnum of 52 Cheval were especially beautiful. It was a pleasure to pull such gems from a carefully acquired and lovingly maintained collection.
Property of a long-time collecting family from the Midwest.
Removed from a temperature-controlled cellar by Christie's specialists.
