Great Burgundy from Warehouse TERRADA

Offered from the cellar of a leading Australian wine connoisseur, over a century of Bordeaux's greatest names are on offer, from vintages spanning 1904-2019, including Lafite 1924, 1926, 1928, 1937, 1947 and 1959, all of which have been recently recorked and released by the estate. Parcel quantities of the iconic 1982 vintage are also included. On the Right Bank, original cases of Le Pin, Petrus, and Vieux Chateau Certan are featured, alongside more than 10 cases of L'If 2010, the inaugural vintage of this iconic garagiste property from Jacques Thienpont. From Burgundy, various DRC Grand Crus from the spectacular 2015 vintage are presented, as well as ready to drink bottles from Comte Georges de Vogüé and Mugnier. Last but not least, we find parcels of 1999 Vega Siciliar Unico and Reserve Especial 1999 Release. Part of a much larger collection, the majority of these wines were purchased on release or directly from the estates, and have been professionally stored in a temperature-controlled warehouse for their full life.
