Description

The bottles in this lot have damaged labels and although capsules have been cut, not all vintages and wines have been confirmed however we expect these to be in line with the other bottles collected by the previous owner.

1945 Chateau Dauzac
Level TS, label damaged, capsule partially disintegrated believed to be as per previous owner's handwritten label
1x75cl
Chateau Batailley
Level IN, label damaged, believed to be 1964 as uniform with other 1964 Chateau Batailley bottles and found in same cellar-bin.
1x75cl
1947 Chateau Margaux
Level TS, capsule partially disintegrated and cut, vintage and chateau confirmed.
1x75cl
Unknown
Levels 1 BN, 1 VTS, labels damaged, capsules partially disintegrated and cut.
2x75cl

Total 5x75cl

3 corks exposed, 2 partially but secure and stable with no signs of past or recent seepage.

 

Recently discovered at a waterfront property previously owned by a pioneering British inventor on the South Coast. The collection lay undisturbed in the cellar since the early 1960s. The long-term storage in complete darkness coupled with the maritime climate, consistently low temperatures and damp cellar conditions has contributed to the ageing and preservation of the wine and their remarkable fill levels and colour.
After careful removal, the wines are now stored horizontally in a dark, stable environment. Please email our team for additional images or to book an inspection appointment in Newbury .
We invite you to read our Dreweatts article on the website to discover more about this wonderful collection with our tasting notes and photos.
