Classic Continental Cellars | Mature Bordeaux, Burgundy Gems and Rare Spirits

Château Haut Brion 1997 Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classé Excellent levels and appearance, owc lid missing replaced by cardboard lid; Excellents niveaux et excellente apparence, couvercle de caisse bois d'origine manquant remplacé par du carton In 2012, the most glorious tobacco, deep, damp cedary nose which carries right on to the palate. So stupendously silky, with infinite finesse. Extraordinarily long on the palate - absolutely belies the vintage. Cigars on the final note. Serena Sutcliffe, MW 12 bts (owc) Provenance: A brilliant collection from a renowned European Art collector, created with curatorial precision and a focus on Bordeaux Grands Crus Classés from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s—three decades that chart the modern evolution of the region. It is not broad for the sake of breadth, but deliberate, composed, and deeply informed. Every bottle was purchased directly from Bordeaux, acquired "En Primeur" and never re-entering the market. Since release, the wines have rested exclusively in the owner’s temperature-controlled cellar, preserved under constant conditions with meticulous care and mostly in their original wooden cases. The provenance is seamless, the stewardship uncompromising. This collection has a sense of patience and conviction. These are wines chosen early, held quietly, and allowed to mature undisturbed—an enduring testament to discipline, foresight, and a collector’s respect for time. Une très belle collection constituée par un grand collectionneur d’art européen, avec une approche rigoureuse et un accent particulier sur les Grands Crus Classés de Bordeaux des années 1980, 1990 et 2000 — trois décennies marquant l’évolution moderne de la région. L’ensemble privilégie la cohérence et la qualité plutôt que l’ampleur. Chaque bouteille a été achetée directement à Bordeaux, en primeur, sans jamais revenir sur le marché. Depuis leur sortie, les vins ont été conservés exclusivement dans la cave climatisée du propriétaire, dans des conditions constantes et pour la plupart dans leurs caisses bois d’origine. La provenance est parfaitement claire et la conservation irréprochable. Cette collection reflète une véritable patience et une conviction assumée. Sélectionnés dès l’origine, conservés avec discrétion et laissés à maturité sans intervention, ces vins témoignent d’une gestion attentive et d’un profond respect du temps.

In 2021, the most wonderful, heady, hedonistic nose, followed by a stunningly juicy taste, redolent of black cherries and the property's signature 'smoky fireplaces'. Just so utterly alluring and a star of the vintage, one of those irresistible Haut Brions. Serena Sutcliffe, MW 3 bts (cn) Provenance: This exceptional European collection represents a lifelong dedication to the world’s finest terroirs, centered on a comprehensive selection of Bordeaux spanning 1970 to 2016. From the classified growths of the Médoc to the "crown jewels" of the Right Bank, every bottle was secured by the owner exclusively at the time of release—either purchased En Primeur or via direct merchant allocations—and preserved since in a pristine, AC-controlled cellar. The offering is further elevated by rare offfering of old Domaine de la Romanée-Conti bottles, vintage Champagnes, Italian superstars, and iconic Californian labels. The collection also includes a selection of 31 exceptional spirits, many offered without reserve. Highlights include the legendary 1964 Bowmore Black (Final Edition), a curated selection of independent bottlers, three rare lots from the Springbank distillery, a Macallan 18-Year-Old Sherry Cask and a remarkable piece of liquid history: an 1868 Armagnac from Bisquit Dubouché. Cette collection européenne exceptionnelle reflète une vie de passion pour les plus grands terroirs, avec un focus sur une sélection complète de Bordeaux allant de 1970 à 2016. Des crus classés du Médoc aux « joyaux » de la Rive Droite, chaque bouteille a été acquise par le propriétaire exclusivement au moment de sa sortie — en primeur ou via des allocations directes de négociants — et conservée depuis dans une cave impeccable, climatisée et parfaitement contrôlée. L’ensemble est enrichi par de rares bouteilles anciennes de Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, des Champagnes millésimés, des grands vins italiens et des références emblématiques californiennes. La collection comprend également une sélection de 31 spiritueux d’exception, dont beaucoup sont proposés sans prix de réserve. Parmi les pièces remarquables figurent le légendaire Bowmore Black 1964 (Final Edition), une sélection soignée de petits embouteilleurs indépendants, trois lots rares de la distillerie Springbank, un Macallan 18 ans Sherry Cask, ainsi qu’une pièce historique exceptionnelle : un Armagnac Bisquit Dubouché de 1868.

Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1996 Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classé Good levels, good appearance, 1 cork very slightly depressed; Bons niveaux, bonne apparence, 1 bouchon très légèrement enfoncé Heavenly smoky, plummy, opulent nose. Cigary flavours, with cinnamon and coffee. Very elegant and oozing breed. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 90 5 bts (cn) Provenance: A brilliant collection from a renowned European Art collector, created with curatorial precision and a focus on Bordeaux Grands Crus Classés from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s—three decades that chart the modern evolution of the region. It is not broad for the sake of breadth, but deliberate, composed, and deeply informed. Every bottle was purchased directly from Bordeaux, acquired "En Primeur" and never re-entering the market. Since release, the wines have rested exclusively in the owner’s temperature-controlled cellar, preserved under constant conditions with meticulous care and mostly in their original wooden cases. The provenance is seamless, the stewardship uncompromising. This collection has a sense of patience and conviction. These are wines chosen early, held quietly, and allowed to mature undisturbed—an enduring testament to discipline, foresight, and a collector’s respect for time. Une très belle collection constituée par un grand collectionneur d’art européen, avec une approche rigoureuse et un accent particulier sur les Grands Crus Classés de Bordeaux des années 1980, 1990 et 2000 — trois décennies marquant l’évolution moderne de la région. L’ensemble privilégie la cohérence et la qualité plutôt que l’ampleur. Chaque bouteille a été achetée directement à Bordeaux, en primeur, sans jamais revenir sur le marché. Depuis leur sortie, les vins ont été conservés exclusivement dans la cave climatisée du propriétaire, dans des conditions constantes et pour la plupart dans leurs caisses bois d’origine. La provenance est parfaitement claire et la conservation irréprochable. Cette collection reflète une véritable patience et une conviction assumée. Sélectionnés dès l’origine, conservés avec discrétion et laissés à maturité sans intervention, ces vins témoignent d’une gestion attentive et d’un profond respect du temps.
