Sale Overview
Christie’s Wine Department in America is delighted to present Fine and Rare Wines Online: Featuring The Landmark Cellar, a highlight of Christie’s international Luxury Season sale series.
Leading the sale is a pristine, highly curated selection from The Landmark Cellar, charting the highest points of Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne, Italy, and Napa Valley. In Burgundy, sought-after vintages of the flagship wines of DRC, Rousseau, and Roumier figure prominently. From Bordeaux, there is a majestic selection of First Growths spanning nearly four decades (1982 – 2020), in a variety of formats, while highly desirable bottlings of Petrus, Le Pin, and Lafleur carry the flag for the Right Bank. This cellar also spotlights a compelling line-up of Champagne, namely Salon, Krug, Dom Pérignon, and Cristal. Finally, the New World is centered around Californian legends Harlan and Screaming Eagle in multiple formats.
The sale continues with a notable collection featuring undisturbed Right Bank greats – including Cheval Blanc and La Conseillante, in full-case quantities, from back-to-back legendary vintages 1989 and 1990, inviting the opportunity to compare, contrast, or further cellar. Additional sale highlights include parcels of Californian icons Colgin, Kistler, and Peter Michael, as well as a well-cellared collection of mature Bordeaux, including “Super Seconds” from the ‘80s and ‘90s. The sale concludes with ancient Madeira from a knowledgeable collector and longtime friend of Christie’s.
