AWESOME DRC AND CLASSIC BV GEORGES DE LATOUR FROM A TRUE CONNOISSEUR
Several lots of the magnificent 1978 vintage of DRC open this exceptional consignment and speak to the great taste and wisdom this oenophile had in his early wine collecting days. DRC's best grand crus from '78, '82, '83 and '85 are all offered here. In addition, some '83 Burgundies and Napa Cabernets round out the selection. The beautiful cellar was custom designed as an addition to his home and is decorated with original wooden cases and empty bottles such as '78 Romanee-Conti and La Tache as a reminder of the enjoyment these wines provided. With a heavy heart, this collector parts with these gems due to a change in lifestyle.
These wines were purchased upon release and have been with this collector since then. All have been stored in outstanding cellar conditions and the great levels and youthful condition of the bottles show this careful storage.
Removed from temperature controlled storage by Christie's staff.
