A BRIEF TOUR OF EUROPE
The following collection of Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhône, German and Italian wines were removed from a purpose-built cellar in the home of a New England collector. Highlighted by solid cases of Margaux, Leoville Las Cases, verticals of La Chapelle and Beaucastel, this collection features something for every wine enthusiast, including a Balthazar of Barolo with a unique, hand-painted label. The outstanding conditions speak for themselves: bid with confidence.
BEAUCASTEL
Nestling in the heart of the Southern Rhône's most renowned appellation, Château de Beaucastel has long held a reputation for the greatest wines of the region. The modern history of wine making at Beaucastel begins in 1909 with the purchase of property by Pierre Tramier and the re-planting of the ancient site. In turn the vineyard passes to his son-in-law Pierre Perrin and has remained in the family since that time. The wines of this great estate are crafted by nature with little intervention by man. Little or no pesticides are used, an organic approach to viticulture and a respect for nature. The rich deposits of sub-soil, the large galets (stones) that hold the daytime heat and radiate at night and the precious Mistral winds that serve to drive away excessive heat and have a drying and concentrating effect on the nearly ripe grapes at the end of the growing season.
