Auction introduction: To open Christie’s Fall Season we are proud to present this carefully selected various-owner auction, with both fine wines and rare whiskies on offer. The wine selection includes a compilation of the best Bordeaux amassed by a passionate collector, all wines but one lot in their original wooden cases, some banded even, ensuring top provenance and condition. From another discerning collector we see blue chip Burgundy and Champagne producers, these include DRC, Henri Jayer, Dom Perignon, Krug, etc. From other collections we have a Leroy & d’Auvenay selection; more top-tier Burgundy such as DRC, Rousseau, Coche-Dury; great Rhones like Jaboulet, Beaucastel, Chapoutier; iconic Italians such as Masseto, Gaja, Quintarelli; as well as wines from Spain and Australia; and finally, Port and Madeira (in time for Christmas!). In the whisky category we are very happy to present the finest and rarest Japanese whiskies, from the same collector of our September single-owner whisky auction INOCHI NO MIZU. In this selection you will find the highly sought-after and collectable Hanyu Ichiro’s Malt Card Series, including the rarest of the rare, 10 of Spades and a few first editions. Apart from the Card Series, a Hibiki 30 Year Old and a set of Karuizawa Thousand Arrows are also on offer.
