Classic & Cult

The Art of Wine
5 – 17 November 2025

Welcome to Classic & Cult: The Art of Wine

From the mythic vineyards of Burgundy to the visionary estates of Napa and Sonoma, this auction celebrates the full spectrum of greatness; wines that define eras, inspire devotion, and command reverence. Within these bottles lie the rarest expressions of craftsmanship and character: timeless classics of Europe, and cult icons of America, many found in monumental formats that capture the luminous depth of the wine world.

Our journey begins in Burgundy with Bouchard Père et Fils' magnificent 2019 Chambertin Clos de Bèze; an exceptional expression of balance, elegance, and depth. From Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, the 2022 La Tâche embodies the very essence of its legendary terroir, unfolding with remarkable precision, profound intensity, and timeless grace.

From Burgundy, we journey to Bordeaux, the very heart of fine wine collecting. Rare offerings emerge from its most illustrious châteaux, each a testament to grandeur and time. The First Growths take their place, led by the legendary Mouton Rothschild 1929, a vintage that defined the Médoc and an entire era. The Right Bank shines in equal brilliance, with jewels from Château Pavie in the majestic 2010 vintage, and La Conseillante 1967, a portrait of timeless grace. Across vintages and formats, these treasures speak of pleasure, prestige, and enduring legacy

Our path ascends to Champagne, a realm of radiance and poise, where chalk-born minerality meets the art of time. Each vintage speaks of its harvest and its maker, of patience rewarded and brilliance preserved. From the lauded 1995 vintage, the timeless Krug rises, a masterwork of elegance.

Crossing the Atlantic to Napa Valley, the narrative of greatness continues. From Schrader to Stag's Leap, these estates define the pinnacle of American winemaking, offering vintages creating a vibrant dialogue with their European ancestors. The 2010 Harlan sings with both power and finesse, its vibrant fruit and flawless structure unfolding with pure elegance. Together, these iconic American wines complete a collection that celebrates rarity, mastery, and the art of winemaking.

We invite you to peruse the auction and consider the season ahead of us -the celebrations, holidays, families and friends gathering - the wines you're a click away from will fulfil these occasions beautifully.
