Description
Bollinger Grande Année 1995
Excellent levels, 1 label slightly soiled; Excellents niveaux, 1 étiquette légèrement sale
63% Pinot Noir, 37% Chardonnay. Last tasted from magnum in 2008. An incredibly heathery, even smoky nose. Very rich and "broad". Mocha and greengages. Creamy, full and round. Maybe the 1996 has more class, but this has big Bolly impact. Like eating greengages. Creamy hazelnuts at the end. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

From a single private cellar, this sale contains a selection of the most coveted names of Bordeaux, Burgundy and others - including Rayas and Vega Sicilia - the property of a passionate collector with an enormous appreciation of the world’s very best wines, far ahead of its time in its discerning taste. The cellar composition is excellent, spanning more than 6 decades of the Finest Cuvées with a distinct focus on the 1980’s exemplified with immaculate parcels of Bordeaux in their original wooden cases - not to mention a unique offering of 20 bottles of Le Pin - and a plethora of Burgundy, with a wonderful array of illustrious Domaines from Georges Roumier, Armand Rousseau, René Engel, Georges Mugneret, Méo-Camuzet, and Michel Gaunoux to name a few. The vast majority of these brilliant wines were purchased directly decades ago at the properties - or for Bordeaux via Maisons Duclot and Descaves -, and were safely stored in an immaculate, air-conditioned cellar in the Parisian region
