The Ultimate Leroy Collection began decades ago, when our collector acquired a private cellar that contained a vast collection of Domaine Leroy. He got curious and pulled out his first bottle of Leroy and took a sip. And that is how his Leroy-collecting journey began. Fast forward thirty years, he now has one of the most impressive collections of Domaine Leroy in the world! As you can see in the catalog, all wines are in top-notch condition; levels and colours are pristine for their respective ages. This extraordinary offering was meticulously sourced from reputable wine merchants and auction houses, and all were kept in a professional wine storage facility before removal for this very special, once in a lifetime sale. This is truly a sale where we can say every lot is a highlight.
Meanwhile, the second auction is about everything else (though admittedly there’s a bit of Domaine Leroy here too). We kick off with a collection of Pristine Lafite Rothschild and Carruades de Lafite from a Close Friend of the Rothschild Family (Lots 148-159) before moving into The Banker’s Cellar (Lots 195-308): a spectacular collection of DRC, Armand Rousseau, Domane Leroy, Sylvain Cathiard, Prieuré Roch, and many more. Then there’s another important collection once again from our dear friend, with Top Notch Bordeaux and Burgundy from an Avid Collector (Lots 309-362), Exceptional Burgundy and Bordeaux from a Long Time Collector (Lots 363-402), Part V of the Cellar of an Exceptional Burgundy Collector (Lots 403-430), and finally Rare Burgundy, Rhône and Italian Gems (Lots 511-614), for those looking for wines beyond the top names of Burgundy.
Under the law of Hong Kong, intoxicating liquor must not be sold or supplied to a minor in the course of business.
