Lyric's Wine Auction has come to be known as THE auction for Bordeaux, so we felt it absolutely necessary to offer the ultimate Bordeaux experience!

We are delighted to feature our Wine Auction 2018 Honored Guest, Château Margaux, in this lot. One of five First Growths of Bordeaux, they have generously offered an in-depth visit of the Estate grounds and winery, including the historic 19th-century wooden tank room, traditional cooperage, first-year and second-year barrel aging cellars, as well as the new cellar and wine library designed by award-winning architect, Lord Norman Foster. The private tour is followed by a tasting and dinner hosted at the château by General Manager PhilippeBascaules and/or Deputy Managing Director Aurélien Valance.

You will also have the opportunity to dine and visit a bevy of the area's best châteaux, including a tasting and lunch at Château du Tertre's Orangerie, the landmark by which this vineyard has come to be known. Véronique Sanders, director of Château Haut-Bailly, also welcomes you for an exclusive visit and a gastronomic four-course lunch created by their chef at the Table Privée. Discover the estate's biodynamic vineyards and team spirit while you visit Château Palmer before enjoying lunch. During your private dinner at Château d'Issan, you will explore the medieval features of this incredible property, including an intact moat and wall built in 1644.

A trip of this magnitude cannot be replicated, and we hope that YOU are the lucky winner!
