New Exclusive Lot:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first lot of the Friday night session will be six bottles of 1911 Mo\u00ebt & Chandon Grand Vintage.\u00a0 This Champagne is direct from the cellars of Mo\u00ebt et Chandon.\u00a0 The estimate for this lot is $50,000 to $65,000.<\/p>\n

The Moet Grand Vintage 1911 is exceeding rare, one of 10 remaining disgorged last January under the Grand Vintage Collection label.\u00a0 The product comes in a beautiful custom leather case.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a stunning Champagne \u2013 an inspiration. I\u2019m astounded by the fact that, after a hundred years, it overflows with vitality and energy, and boasts both impressive depth and amazing freshness,\u201d<\/em> Mo\u00ebt Chef du Cave Beno\u00eet Gouez.<\/p>\n

Each of the 11 six-bottle cases are being offered to a different market around the world. The first case was auctioned at a gala dinner in Shanghai recently, selling for $100,000.<\/p>\n

This will be the only case sold in Canada.<\/p>\n

In addition, the winner of this lot is invited to experience courtesy of Mo\u00ebt & Chandon a private cellar visit including, a private Champagne tasting with a winemaker, lunch or dinner in Epernay, transportation from the airport to Mo\u00ebt & Chandon and back, and a one night in a 4 star hotel in Champagne.<\/p>\n

In celebration of this event, special guests from Mo\u00ebt & Chandon will be joining us, and will be providing us with a special disgorgement of their 1992\u00a0Grand Vintage collection to pair with the appetizers for auction dinner.<\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

Moet et Chandon<\/span> Grand Vintage Collection 1992 \u201cReally taut, tight wine, its mature toastiness embedded in a steely, mineral, very dry texture. The acidity is assertive, wonderfully refreshing, so crisp. It may be 18 years old, but it looks likely to age for several years yet\u201d – <\/em> 96 Pts Wine Enthusiast\u201d<\/p>\n
