Welcome to our fifth London auction! After the successes we had last year this is the first London wine sale of 2021, and our third-ever London wine auction. If you’ve been following our colleagues in our Hong Kong and United States sale rooms, you know how much great wine there is on the market right now. We’ve had our annual partnership with La Paulée, our first-ever Spirits-only auctions, and set hundreds of world records along the way. We are in the middle of an unbelievably busy June, with our partnership with Premiere Napa Valley, and the sales of wines from such collecting luminaries as George Caloyannidis and Tawfiq Khoury. I’m delighted to continue along this path of success with this sale.
Not only do we have wine from Pioneers, an offering now being sold on its third continent, we have an amazing consignment from right here on the continent. Starting on lot 34, this is the same consignment sold earlier in the year as the “DRC Only” sale in New York (there’s additional wine here, not just DRC). Following this consignment is the heart of this auction, at lot 50. This consignment is all about the Burgundy, with easily the largest offering of DRC we have ever sold at Zachys Europe! There’s also Dugat-Py, Faiveley, Trapet, Mugnier, and many more. Later in the auction is a wonderful group of Mascarello, which graces the cover of this catalog, and it wouldn’t be a London sale without an amazing offering of Chartreuse starting at lot 324.
All wines offered in this auction are lying in Zachys warehouse in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Each lot is offered under one of three EU VAT schemes represented by a symbol († or ◆ or △).
