On Tuesday 19 November, we are delighted to present our first sale dedicated entirely to Champagne and sparkling wine. The auction features a roll call of all the great houses, with vintages dating back to the 1970’s, offering a library of some of the greatest wines of the last 50 years and across multiple formats. Here, Senior Wine Consultant, Mark Robertson tells us more.
The choice of Champagne is a personal one and a favourite house can be synonymous with one’s identity. From Marylin Monroe with Dom Perignon, Napoleon with Moet and, of course, Churchill and his Pol Roger, there is no other region where a wine has been defined by so much romance, celebration, and tragedy. To look at any bottle of Champagne is to view a snapshot of history. This sale offers many exceptional opportunities to experience and show how Champagne captivates the heart more than any other wine.
Within this breathtaking cast, my stars include rare Jeroboams of 1996 Bollinger and Pol Roger; Dom Perignon from across the 1980’s; and a unique case of 1979 Bollinger RD in magnums.
Leading up to the festive period, it is no coincidence we have chosen November for our first Fine Champagne and Sparkling Wine auction. This sale offers the perfect opportunity to restock your cellar.
