Massandra Sherry (1775)

Massandra Sherry de la Frontera 1775, popularly

known as the Massandra Sherry 1775 is one of the

most expensive wines of Sotheby’s London in 2001.

It came from the collection of Massandra Winery

which is well known for its large collection (over a million) of both Russian and European vintage wines bearing the Imperial seal.

Wines from Château d‘yquem are characterised by their

complexity, concentration and sweetness. A relatively

high acidity helps to balance the wine's sweetness.

Another characteristic for which Château d'Yquem

wines are known is their longevity. With proper care,

a bottle will keep for a century or more.

Chateau Lafite (1869)

It’s no understatement to say that Château Lafite Rothschild is one of the iconic wines of the

modern era. When the hammer came down on the

extraordinary sale of a bottle of 1869 Château Lafite, history was made. It is the most expensive 750ml bottle

of wine on the planet.

Montrachet (198)

The Montrachet vineyard is the jewel in the Crown of

Burgundy's white wines. It is one of five Grand Cru sites

(climats) located in a cluster around the Mont Rachet hill

above Puligny-Montrachet. These vineyards produce

some of the most expensive and rare wines in the world,

often regarded as the ultimate expression of the Chardonnay grape variety.

Romanee Cont, DRC (1990)

One of the prime reasons for the high price of this wine

is the extremely low yield of the soil in the area of France

where it's produced – it takes the produce of three pinot

noir grape vines to make one bottle. The average age of

the vines, extending over 1.8 hectares, is 53 years.

Conti

1994 Cabernet Sauvignon, a perfect wine. Representing

the essence of cassis liqueur intermixed with blackberries, minerals, licorice and toast, this full-bodied, multi-dimensional Classic is fabulous, with extraordinary purity, symmetry and a finish

that lasts for nearly a minute.
