Dear Wine Lover,

The first auction of the New Year will bring you a lot of „Pure Joy“ It will take place on Thursday, January 23rd, and Friday, January 24th, without room presence and will start at 10h00. Bordeaux and other French wines will be auctioned on Thursday, Burgundy and the remaining wines on Friday.

Bordeaux is a great delight with many excellent original wooden cases, including more than
two dozen lots of Château Cheval Blanc, two cases of ‘a piece of history special case’ from
Château Lafite-Rothschild, a vertical of 5 magnum bottles of Château Latour, as well as more
than two dozen lots of Château Margaux and several catalogue pages of Château Mouton Rothschild.

There is also great and varied pleasure in the Burgundy wines. We are particularly pleased with
a magnum bottle of 2011 Liger-Belair La Romanée, as well as the large number of well-preserved
older rarities, especially from Roumier, Rousseau and Vogüé. We are also delighted with
white wines: Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, Comtes Lafon, Leflaive and Raveneau are just a few
of the Burgundy white wine artists.

There are also some pleasing finds from the Rhône Valley.A lot with 4 bottles of Châteauneuf-
du-Pape Réserve des Célestins 1978 and 1 bottle of Château Rayas 1978 are the big stars.

The transalpine delights stretch from north to south from Conterno, Gaja, Giacosa, Mascarello
to Rinaldi and Voerzio in Piedmont. In Tuscany, we are delighted with a bottle of Sassicaia 1985
in excellent condition!

From Spain, we will bring several magnum bottles of Vega Sicilia Unico from the 1970s under
the hammer, along with many other fine wines.

Finally, we are delighted with the wide variety from overseas – including two bottles of the rare Screaming Eagle and six bottles of Maya 2016 from Dalla Valle.
