A RARE 1999 VINTAGE ASSORTMENT
The 1999 vintage in Burgundy was a wine lover's dream and one that continues to grow in acclaim as the wines mature. It was a large, healthy crop and the wines intially were forward and enjoyable young. DRC made outstanding wines as always, with critic Allen Meadows citing the following about the lineup: "This is destined to be one of the all time great vintages of La Tâche" About the Romanée Conti: "As seductive as the nose is and as awe-inspiring as the flavors are, the finish lasts literally for minutes, indeed I could still taste it the next day and I've noticed that this happens every time I am fortunate to have the '99." For the Grands Echézeaux: "This is a big wine with richness, superb length and impressive refinement and it's clear that this will live for decades. In sum, this is very classy juice." About the Richebourg: "This has as much potential as any DRC Richebourg I've ever had."
This case was consigned by a long-term client of Christie's. It was purchased on release and was stored in a beautiful home cellar until release for this sale. It was banded prior to inspection by Christie's specialist.
