We have chosen the name “Vanguard” for this collection because the consignor is a true wine pioneer. He continues to visit the great wine regions of the world annually and is driven to find the next great thing. As you will see from the upcoming offerings, he has succeeded time and time again. The bedrock of this portion of the sale is Burgundy, both red and white. There are verticals and horizontals of the legends: DRC, Rousseau, Roumier, Leroy, and Coche-Dury just to name a few. However, you will find amazing quantity and quality from producers that this collector knew, long before the rest of us, would be in very high demand. The wines from the Rhône and Champagne are equally spellbinding with deep offerings. These wines have all been meticulously cared for and purchased over many years from only the most reputable sources and the wines have been stored in a professional storage facility in the United States since purchase.
Meanwhile, the various-owner portion of the sale is called, as it is every year, the Holiday Auction. We start the sale with OWC Bordeaux First Growths from Latour, Margaux, Lafite and Haut-Brion, and then move swiftly to Burgundy. There’s also JJ Prüm, 1912 Yquem, Grange, a Rayas vertical, Gaja, Haut-Brion Blanc, and even spirits from Larue, Michter’s, and others. As usual a smorgasbord of fine wines to delight!
Absentee portion for this auction is open for bidding.
The first session will start live bidding on 12/8/2022 at 10:00 AM EST.
A link to the live auction portal will appear here 30 minutes before the live session begins.
