A distinguished collection spanning Bordeaux's greatest appellations and two of its most celebrated banks, featuring seven mature wines from storied estates. The centerpiece is the 1986 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild, one of Bordeaux's legendary First Growths, from a classic Left Bank vintage known for powerful, highly structured Cabernet Sauvignon. Alongside it is the 1990 Chateau Leoville Barton, a standout Saint-Julien from one of Bordeaux's great vintages, offering the combination of ripe fruit, classic Medoc structure, and remarkable longevity for which the estate is renowned. The 1990 Chateau La Louviere represents Graves, adding another expression of Bordeaux's gravelly terroir. The Right Bank is represented by the highly sought-after 1995 Chateau Cheval Blanc and 1986 Chateau Ausone, two of Saint-Emilion's most prestigious historic estates. Cheval Blanc's 1995 is particularly notable: the vintage performed exceptionally well on the Right Bank, and contemporary and subsequent assessments have singled out Cheval Blanc as one of the wines of the vintage. Ausone 1986 is a rare and distinctive mature expression of this legendary estate, known for its limestone terroir, finesse, and longevity. Completing the collection is the 1986 Chateau Rauzan-Segla, a celebrated Margaux classified growth whose Cabernet-driven elegance and aromatic complexity make it an appealing mature Bordeaux. Together, these seven bottles offer a remarkable tour of Bordeaux, these wines have been cellared since release and are drinking beautifully.
