The Historic Rarities Collection is a cellar of wines, unearthed by our specialists from a Continental collector. An amazingly rare 24 bottle case of 1970 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti was discovered, and the case still has the original delivery note from the Domaine attached. Bottles from this case, including Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, Richebourg, Romanée St. Vivant (with the historic Marey-Monge labels), Grands-Échézeaux, Échézeaux and Montrachet appear in lots. The case is with the lot of Romanée-Conti. Bottles of Domaine Rousseau, Chambertin 1976 and Chambertin-Clos de Bèze 1976 feature in magnificent condition. Future rarities include a magnum of 1959 Vieux Château Certan, Château d'Yquem 1947 and old vintages of Pousse d' Or, Faiveley and Drouhin. Unearthing a cellar with such treasures forgotten within, is a rare experience.
