Introducing WineBank's Private Sale Collection! All wines below are available for sale from one avid collector. Bottles and cases primarily include Sauternes, First Growth Bordeaux and Napa Cabernet Sauvignons, from Chateau Latour, Chateau d'Yquem, Lafite Rothschild, Haut-Brion, Chateau Margaux and more.
These wines are in excellent condition now. They were all stored in a 55-degree, 3200 bottle cellar for several years. The wines were transported to WineBank in a refrigerated truck, where they remain under temperature-controlled storage for re-sale.
Most of the Bordeaux was bought on futures until 2009. Since then, newer Bordeaux were purchased from J.J. Buckley.
The collector is selling due to a work relocation where no cellaring is available (and it's quite warm)!
WineBank has inspected each case and bottle, noting only a few faded labels. Fill levels remain high and bottle condition excellent.
SERVICES
Should you wish to inspect any cases or bottles, we would be happy to send you photos of bottles. In person viewing may also be possible with a scheduled appointment.
