As part of rationalizing and cellar thinning, I have put some bottles up for auction at Leland Little that may be of interest to folks here: Fine Wine Auction
I am the original owner of all the bottles and all of them came directly through their national importer to the local distributor directly into my active cellar. Exceptions are the 2005 Vatan which I bought from Chambers on release and was grey market and the 1997 Chave which may have been hand carried back from France (it may also be a Langdon-Shiverick bottle, I have both but didn’t notice which I put for auction). I can’t guarantee how any specific bottle will perform, but I can say that bottles with this type of provenance are hard to find.
Highlights:
Clos Rougeard Poyeux, Bourg and Brézé
Fourrier Clos St. Jacques
Esmonin Clos St. Jacques
Mugnier Chambolle (some with OWC) and 1er Fuées
Puffeney
A mixed lot with Ganevat and Beta
Ridge Monte Bello 1991 Magnum
