Provenance:

Fabulous vertical flights of Lafite, Latour, Mouton, Margaux, Petrus and Dom Perignon, each spanning at least 4 decades, and an extensive offering of Le Pin in full cases, the property of a dedicated collector. Further highlights of this collection include Burgundy from growers such as Comtes Georges de Vogüé, DRC, Domaine Leroy, Faiveley and Domaine Leflaive, a stellar line-up of Champagne, and from Italy an outstanding selection of Masseto and Sassicaia. The collection concludes with a final flourish of no fewer than 20 vintages of Screaming Eagle. All the wines were purchased from well-known UK wine merchants and stored professionally since purchase.
