A SUPERLATIVE COLLECTION FROM A CONTINENTAL CELLAR Christie’s is delighted to present the following 484 lots. This collection represents one of the finest and most comprehensive collections of Burgundy and Champagne from the modern era that we have offered at auction in recent years. The collection comes directly from the cellar of a sophisticated European art collector, connoisseur and businessman. What is extraordinary about the collection, is not only the exceptional quality of the wines offered, but the condition and provenance of the bottles we will offer. Over a period of collecting reaching back more than four decades, the collector has been able to forge extremely close bonds with some of the greatest winemakers and estates across Europe. He always bought his wines directly from the source, or through the official importer of the wines in question. The link between creator and consumer has rarely been so direct as it is here. The cellar in which the wines have always been stored is cool and with perfect humidity, kept constantly between 10-12 degrees. The level of care and precision involved in the guardianship of these bottles is rarely seen. The collection is expansive in scope, but also precise in its definition. Burgundy is where the collection’s magnificent riches are focused, but first mention should go to the singular offering of champagne and in particular - Salon le Mesnil. This is possibly the finest offering to market in decades. The consignor of this collection has been close to the owners of Salon le Mesnil for thirty years, and acquired his wines directly from the producer. The collection covers the period 1979-2002 and offers collectors the opportunity to acquire these perfect examples of one of the world’s greatest champagnes in bottles and magnums from legendary vintages such as 1982, 1985 and 1990. The Burgundy on offer across the collection truly is a roll-call of the finest names in the region, and also offers fascinating insights into winemaking skills and styles, by presenting wide ranges of wines from different producers’ portfolios. Roumier, Rousseau, DRC, Denis Mortet, Claude Dugat, Comte Liger-Belair and Thibault Liger-Belair form highlights for red Burgundy, while Roulot, Domaine Leflaive, Coche-Dury and Ramonet form a vanguard of whites. Other areas to note are fine Bordeaux, iconic Barolos from Rinaldi and Bartolo Mascarello and a range of great wines from the Northern Rhône. This is a truly stellar collection which leads our November sale, a collection we are proud to bring to market and which will be spoken of in reverential terms for years to come. Unless otherwise stated, all lots lying in Dinton, Wiltshire (LCB) LOTS MARKED ‡ ARE OFFERED IN BOND, AVAILABLE DUTY PAID Salon Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs 1979 In individual carton, level just below foil (1) 1982 Lightly bin-soiled labels, levels at foil (4) 1985 Lightly bin-soiled labels, levels at foil (3) 8 bottles per lot
