              Not only paintings… Brokers do go for Wine treasures!

Signature Cellars Sale, an online (only) auction has begun (23 May-6 June), through Christie’s New York.

BROKER’S AGENDA:

Château d'Yquem--Vintage 2005
Sauternes, 1er grand cru classé
In original wooden case
1 dozen bottles per lot

ESTIMATE: 3.000-3.000 dollars

WHAT COLLECTORS NEED TO KNOW:

Christie’s people know well that the wines of Chateau d’Yquem occupy a unique place in the history and appreciation of Fine Wine. They mention that those who truly love Bordeaux know that there are more Chateaux out there than those that make the headlines. 

This first offering from the Bordeaux Wine Collection presents ratings which outshine their price points, as you’ll see from Robert Parker’s scores and notes. Many of these are excellent, lovingly crafted wines, and often they reach maturity far sooner than their tannic and backwards First Growth brethren. All of the wines here come from recent vintages, perfect for drinking now or, in some cases, holding for a few more years.

The offering was bought on release direct from Bordeaux, has been stored in professional temperature-controlled wine storage ever since, and all comes in the original packaging, be it wood or carton.
