We are thrilled to offer Part 2 of a recently acquired and extraordinary Bordeaux Cellar: The Pearls of the Left Bank.
As mentioned in the previous email, this is an utterly remarkable collection of wines, put together over many years by a noted European collector and impeccably stored, and it is packed with absolute treasures.
Today is Part 2, The Left Bank, and we move on to the First Growths tomorrow, with a special bonus offer on Friday.
This is a fantastic list of mature claret from an array of household names. To pick out a few highlights from today’s stunning selection of Blue Chip Bordeaux:
The cellar represents a truly exceptional opportunity as we are unlikely to find such an extensive collection with such excellent provenance again and, given the maturity, it is rare to see ex-Chateau offers of these wines.
Demand for yesterday’s Right Bank offer was intense, and we are expecting today’s to be no different. Details are below, do take a look and let us know if you would like to secure any of these cases.
The Offer:
Offered subject to final confirmation and remaining unsold. Available in our Singapore cellars in 8-12 weeks. Please note that cancellation or changes to your order may not be possible after purchase. Thank you for your understanding.
