Let's start with Champagne…
Dear customers and friends, as many of you know, I am passionate about champagne and I will be happy to give you a brief description of what we offer you in this wine o'clock.
In this auction we present a series of around 260 lots, composed of champagnes from large houses and small producers. It is worth highlighting the large formats of Cristal by Louis Roederer which reach up to 300cl and 600cl and the limited edition of Cristal 2002 Orfèvre in 300cl format. Within the Dom Pérignon set, we will notice the Lady Gaga or Lenny Kravitz editions, as well as the P2 from 1998.
As with Cristal, the Methuselah (600cl) of Amour de Deutz 2005 and the magnums of 2009 and 1999 attract attention. And let's also talk about another great champagne house, the Krug house, from which we offer legendary vintages such as Clos d'Ambonnay in 1998 and Clos du Mesnil in 2004.
It is also appropriate to highlight many small producers present in this auction such as Agrapart, Savart, Chartogne Taillet or Suenen. Large is the Savart part which has 130 bottles of different vintages and vintages. I don't need to explain anything to you about the legendary Selosse champagnes that we have in interesting quantities in this sale.
One of the champagnes that I like the most is the Sir Winston Churchill cuvée from Pol Roger and this time we have a magnificent magnum from 2009 and two bottles from 2013 and 2015.
I hope you enjoy this beautiful collection of champagne which will surely make you thirsty and want to uncork a good bottle.
