Stellar Cellars

Wines of Power & Grace

17 – 29 September 2025

We welcome you to Stellar Cellars: Wines of Power & Grace! Each bottle holds more than the liquid within; it is viticultural artistry and place distilled, carrying whispers of the cellars, soils, and hands that shaped it.

Composed largely of a quartet of perfectly aligned and complementary cellars, the auction journey kicks off in Burgundy. An offering of multiple lots of Domaine de la Romanee Conti, including the illustrious 2022 Romanee St. Vivant, deliver exceptional balance, elegance and purity. A selection of Anne Gros, Clos Vougeot Les Grands Maupertui unveils the essence of its storied terroir, illuminated through the grace of the transcendent vintage 2005.

Next we head to Bordeaux, which many would claim to be the classic heart of rare wine collecting. Here stand the great Left Bank First Growths, Chateau Haut Brion, Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Chateau Margaux, and Chateau Mouton Rothschild alongside Right Bank icons, Chateau Angelus, Chateau Ausone, and Chateau Petrus. Explore both, for a study of Bordeaux blend composition on either side of the Gironde estuary. Across vintages and formats, these wines embody pleasure, history, and storytelling.

The path leads next to Champagne, the effervescence of light and texture, where minerality meets finesse, and where each vintage tells the story of harvests and ancient technique. From the exceptional 2008 vintage is the divine elegance of Pol Roger. Embark into the legendary realm of Louis Roederer, where the extraordinary 2015 Cristal awaits—concentrated, energetic and vibrant: an excellent example of the estate's terroir.

Our journey concludes on the west coast of the US, in Napa Valley. From Harlan's Promontory to Christian Moueix's Dominus, a diversity of lots representing the newer world of winemaking; from the prestigious Screaming Eagle 2009, showing masterful precision entwined with the flawless harmony of vibrant fruit, to the esteemed Hundred Acre 2021, a masterclass in winemaking, uniting finesse and depth.

This auction celebrates the glinting facets of beautiful wine matured into quiet majesty, as well as more youthful bottles rising toward greatness.
