We extend a warm invitation to the eagerly awaited second chapter of the Lawrence Collection, a live single-owner wine auction scheduled for this Friday, February 23rd. Building on the triumph of our inaugural event, this sequel promises to elevate the collection of every successful bidder. Our collector had one criterion in mind when amassing this extensive collection – it had to represent the absolute best. In this email, we shine a spotlight on the finest vintages from the late 40s and early 50s to the 60s: 1947, 1959, and 1961.
1947 Vintage: In an era considered hot for vintages, time has revealed the greatness of certain Chateaux. The Lawrence Collection features prestigious labels like La Mission Haut Brion, the distinguished Mouton-Rothschild, and an exclusive two-bottle parcel of the legendary Cheval Blanc. Connoisseurs hail Cheval Blanc as the quintessential expression of the vineyard, a masterpiece that sets the standard for excellence.
1959 Vintage: A year of both abundance and brilliance, 1959 yielded wines of extraordinary richness and complexity. Three separate lots of Latour, including magnums, grace our auction – a testament to the vintage’s universal acclaim. Latour, often regarded as the finest wine of the era, takes center stage.
1961 Vintage: Renowned for concentration and balance, the 1961 vintage produced wines of profound depth and elegance, securing its status among the greats. Highlights include Haut-Brion, Latour, Margaux, and the legendary Latour-a-Pomerol.
These wines epitomize the pinnacle of what Bordeaux can offer, marked by their timeless appeal and potential for continued aging. Join us in celebrating the artistry and tradition of Bordeaux winemaking this Friday, February 23rd. This single-owner sale offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the legendary vintages that have shaped the world of fine wine.
