MORE ABOUT THIS LOT:


The winning bidder will receive a very limited edition release from Château Margaux. A Balthazar (12 litres) of Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux 2015.


Château Margaux began producing this format with the 2010 vintage, and only 5 bottles are made each year. These bottles are never sold so this is truly a “money can’t buy” opportunity.


Each bottle is numbered, and the label is engraved in gold. Château Margaux will be offering bottle number 5/5, and it will be the very first Balthazar of this vintage to leave the estate. They have hand selected this vintage for its outstanding quality and as a tribute to the late Paul Pontallier, for whom it was sadly his last harvest.


LYING IN OCTAVIAN, WILTSHIRE Offered In Bond, available Duty Paid
