The Frist Growth labels with vintage 1998 have entered the drinking period. At the moment when the price of prominent Burgundy wines is soaring, Bordeauz Frist Growth wines are more worth enjoying.
Among them, the 1998 Château Cheval Blanc, which received a perfect score from Robert Parker, is unmissable! With the untouched Original Wooden Case, the collection value of this assortment cannot be underestimated.

2001 Domaine René Engel Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru, Les Brulées
Lot 88 | 6 Bottles

Engel’s production was relatively low, and it has now become a swan song, no longer in production, the difficulty of purchasing a bottle is increasing severely. Its Vosne-Romanée Les Brulées 1er Cru combines elegance and strength, plus in perfect condition.
1998 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Ermitage Cuvée Cathelin

2000 Domaine du Pegau Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Cuvée da Capo

As the rare pearl of Domaine du Pegau, Cuvée da Capo is only produced in excellent vintage with only 7 vintages released so far. Robert Parker always praised a high score or even a perfect score for every production. With a powerful style without losing elegance and complexity, no wonder the vintage 2000 is the “3rd Apostle” in the Japanese comic Drops of God. The rigorous vinification methods lead to the scarce outturn, not to mention, Double Magnum and Imperial are extremely rare to find.

Lot 232 | 1 Bottle, 540ml | 53% vol
Est.HK$50,000 – HK$ 80,000
