The Millennium vintage exploded on to the horizon with this beautifully balanced wine, so ripe and with such fresh acidity - those wonderful old vines immensely contributed here. Opulent, complex, refined and intricate, with a huge dollop of 2000 charm. It lingers on the palate in a very filigree, lacy way. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

An outstanding collection of wines from Domaine de La Romanée-Conti featuring banded OWCs, bottles, magnums, Jeroboams, and agonisingly rare Methuselahs spanning 1990 through to 2011. All the wines were acquired on release directly from the Domaine and were cellared in professional temperature-controlled storage until removed for this auction. The consignor generously granted Sotheby’s privileged access to all his cellar records, allowing our specialists to reconcile the entire collection against original invoices, cementing a transparent and traceable line of provenance. The flawless condition of these bottles is a supreme testament to the consignor’s careful stewardship, maturing these legendary wines to complete perfection.
