AN OUTSTANDING PRIVATE COLLECTION INCLUDING FIRST GROWTH CLARET, FINE BURGUNDY, CHAMPAGNE AND OTHER PRESTIGIOUS WINES
The following lots 356 to 465 represent a further selection from an
outstanding private European collection. The collector, a good friend
of Christie's, has bought with intelligence and a real passion for the grape. We have here a smattering of first growths, quality Claret and
the very finest wines from Burgundy. All of the wines have been
purchased from reputable European merchants or directly from the
producers, as the client has very good links to both Bordeaux and
Burgundy. Since purchase, they have been stored in a perfect
temperature and humidity-controlled, purpose-built warehouse in
Northern Europe.
All lots have been inspected by Christie's staff prior to shipment.
Now lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Two corroded capsules, one damaged. Bin-soiled labels, one damaged and torn
Tasting note: Many notes. Most recently, in magnum: very deep, velvety colour; needs air and patience, once aroused, fragrant and delicious. Fairly substantial, not immediately impressive - give it time. Last tasted July 2006 ****(*) M.B.
