Krug, Clos du Mesnil--Vintage 1990
6 bottles per lot
AN EXCEPTIONAL ARRAY OF THE WORLD'S FINEST WINE, MANY IN LARGE FORMAT The following consignment reads like a roll call of the world's best estates: Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Lafite, Giacomo Conterno, Sine Qua Non, d'Yquem, de Vogüé. In standard bottle size, these wines are among those most coveted by wine lovers everywhere. This incredible collection consists of these names, among others, in formats that make the rarest even rarer still. Eye-widening swaths of The Domaine in magnum, jero and even methuselah await the lucky buyer. Monfortino and 99 point SQN Syrah in magnum, both from productions less than 2,000 cases a year, quicken the pulse. Magnums of First Growths from the standout vintages of 2000 and 2005 are here in force. While those with patience know large formats to be the best vehicle for long-term ageing (and a most impressive statement at the dinner table), the consignor has generously offered these treasures in standard bottle size as well. These wines are but a small selection from one of the world's most distinguished wine collections ever consigned to Christie's. All wines were sourced with meticulous care from reputable brokers and retailers, many directly from the domaines and estates. They were then stored in the owner's cavernous and expansive home cellar where a custom built state-of-the art computer system and backup generator maintained pristine temperature and humidity conditions at all times. Future offerings from this collection will be the feature consignment in our upcoming December 11 sale of Fine and Rare Wines and a highlight of our fall season. Removed by a team of Christie's specialists for this sale. CLOS DU MESNIL Krug, Clos du Mesnil--Vintage 1990 Reims Each in individual wooden coffret 6 bottles per lot
