Provenance

This extraordinary selection of predominantly blue-chip Burgundy is impressively focused on only the very best domaines, principally Leroy, Jayer, DRC, Leflaive and Rouget. The wines in this collection were purchased from the most reputable UK merchants, who have strong direct links with the domaines (including for the Jayer), and in some cases purchases were made from the most noted auctions at Replica Shoes 's and Christie's.
