1990 ROMANÉE CONTI
The following two six bottles lots were originally purchased as 12 bottles at ZachysChristie's sale 9987 in December 1999.
The 1990 Romanée-Conti is one of, if not the most, coveted wines in the word. Only a few hundred cases of this wine were made, and even in a global marketplace that seems to grow each year, the 1990 RC is rarely seen, and never in such quantity.
When purchasing wines of this caliber, provenance is paramount and this consignment is exceptional in its rock-solid history. These 12 bottles were originally purchased upon release and consigned to Christie's for our December 1999 sale where it was purchased by this consignor as a single 12-bottle lot. That lot was taken immediately via temperature controlled carrier to the pristine home wine cellar of the world's finest private collection, lying in the United States. This 53 degree, 75 relative humidity cellar is expertly maintained (including a backup power generator) and no expense is spared in its upkeep. These bottles literally have not moved since they were placed in this cellar over 10 years ago.
They were removed for this sale and carried under temperature and humidity control to Christie's for this sale.
