PRISTINE CLARET SELECTIONS FROM A PASSIONATE WINE COLLECTOR
The consignor, a longtime friend of Christie's since the mid-90s, was faced with a challenge; an empty temperature and security-controlled cellar in his second home. His solution was to furnish the cellar with his favorite wines from his favorite vintages. The result, a perfectly-curated cellar filled with a comprehensive selection of the top-most clarets from the best vintages including cases of '82 Mouton, and an entire wall lined with top vintages of Jaboulet's Hermitage La Chappelle. His only reason for selling...space for the 2009 Vintage.
The majority of the wines were purchased on release from reputable retailers in the 80s and 90s and only moved to furnish the client's second cellar and for this sale. Don't miss this rare chance to bid on these pristine lots with impeccable provenance. Vintages as exceptional as 2009 only come once every few decades; who knows when the consignor will likely again part with his treasures?
Château Beychevelle--Vintage 1989
Saint-Julien, 4ème cru classé
Lot 1 levels: into neck
Lot 2 levels: bottom neck or better
