The question may seem trivial, but we seek to understand: what is the secret ingredient that transforms a meal into an unforgettable moment?

Many would say it requires great wines and exceptional dishes. Then, upon reflection, one would add: “Yes, but you must be well surrounded.” True enough. The setting, the ambiance, and the state of mind matter almost as much as what is on the plate. So, in the end, isn’t it above all a matter of the company? For, as the saying goes, “one missing person, and everything feels empty.” A single presence — or absence — can sometimes undo all efforts made to create a moment suspended in time.

Our live-streamed "Kipling“ #14 auction features a single, cohesive collection that strikes us as an ode to Burgundy!

Brought together in one single auction, you will find an impressive list of bottles and magnums from illustrious estates, ranging from Comte Liger-Belair (La Romanée, Échézeaux, Clos de Vougeot…), to Roumier (Bonnes-Mares, Les Amoureuses, Ruchottes Chambertin…), Rousseau (Chambertin, Chambertin « Clos de Bèze », Clos Saint-Jacques…), even Ramonet, and many more… !

Whether in terms of provenance or storage conditions, everything has been remarkably well preserved.

Good luck with your bids!
