LONDON.- Christie’s will present two exceptional online auctions this June, showcasing the finest in global wine and spirits collecting. Three Great Cellars: A Celebration of Superb Burgundy and Large Format Bordeaux (4–18 June) and Fine & Rare Wines & Spirits Online: London Edition (5–19 June). Running consecutively, the two sales offer a curated celebration of legendary vineyards, master distillers, and historic bottles — each with its own unique narrative and provenance.

Three Great Cellars: A Celebration of Superb Burgundy and Large Format Bordeaux
Online | 4–18 June | Sale 23892


Sourced from three private cellars, this impressive auction reflects decades of passionate collecting and meticulous cellaring.

Highlights include The Chef’s Cellar with Champagne from Pierre Peters, Dom Pérignon, and Salon, alongside Burgundy from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier, Rousseau, and on trend names like Arnaud Ente and Cécile Tremblay. Rhône and Italian classics such as Château Rayas, Guigal, Giacomo Conterno, and Gaja complete the offering.

The second Great Cellar features rare Burgundy from Domaine Leflaive, Bonneau du Martray, Méo-Camuzet, and Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, plus Bordeaux First Growths including Petrus and Château La Mission Haut-Brion, alongside Spanish and New World rarities such as Vega Sicilia and Screaming Eagle.

The third cellar focuses on classic Bordeaux First Growths like Château Latour and Mouton-Rothschild in large formats, Super Seconds, and Napa treasures including Heitz Cellars and Colgin.

This sale epitomizes the depth and diversity of elite wine collecting, with each cellar revealing not just exceptional bottles, but also stories of culinary passion, family legacy, and global discovery.

Fine & Rare Wines & Spirits Online: London Edition
Online | 5–19 June | Sale 23893


This carefully curated sale bridges the worlds of iconic spirits and storied wines. Among the standouts: The Yamazaki 25 Year Old, Macallan, Port Ellen, and a remarkable set of over 100 hand-illustrated bottles of Romano Levi grappa, including rare herb-infused examples.

A major highlight is the final artist-proof edition (0/12) of the Dictador Freedom Icon Collection — 12 exceptional bottles, each distilled in a different month of 1989 and presented with a private dinner hosted by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Lech Wałęsa in Gdańsk, Poland.

On the wine side, collectors will find treasures such as a magnum of Henri Jayer’s Cros Parantoux 2001 — the master’s final vintage — as well as bottles of Cros Parantoux 1995 and Echézeaux 1996 in original cases. Burgundy remains a centerpiece, with appearances from Domaine Rousseau, Mugnier, and Domaine Leroy, alongside verticals of Château Haut-Brion and Château Margaux.

Noah May, Head of Wine & Spirits, EMEA, Christie’s, comments: “We are thrilled to present these two carefully curated auctions, which showcase the depth and diversity of the global fine wine and spirits market today. From iconic Burgundies and commanding large-format Bordeaux to the extraordinary Dictador Freedom Icon Collection, each lot offers collectors a unique chance to acquire truly exceptional pieces with remarkable stories.”
