WONDERS OF THE NEW WORLD
Property of a Wine Connoisseur and Gentleman
The following 115 lots arrive to Christie's from the West Coast collection of a successful businessman, wine industry insider and passionate oenophile. Though this collector has a foot in the New World, he honors his European origins by collecting only the best of Bordeaux and Burgundy. Highlights include banded Assortment cases from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti from the excellent vintages of 1998, 1999 and 2000. From Bordeaux, we offer classified growths from fifths to first and banks from left to right in standout vintages spanning 1995 through 2003.
The heart of this consignment is well cellared California wine perfect for current consumption. Several ready-made tastings include verticals from standout cult favorites such as Harlan and Bond and also from incredible small production wineries such as Dunn, Shafer, Dominus, Phelps, Montelena, Etude, Groth, and Spottswoode, the latter of which is available here in both magnum and bottle format. Without exception, the conditions are excellent and samples from the cellar were outstanding.
The consignor himself has an incredible palate and a deep love and appreciation for not only the liquid in the glass but also the efforts of the winemakers and vineyard managers to turn grapes into wine.
All wines were removed by a team of specialists from a gorgeous home cellar with a state of the art temperature and humidity controlled monitor system.
