It is rare to offer an untouched cellar. The Ericson Cellar is one of the special ones for me. As we inspected each bottle, we also paged through original receipts, cellar inventories and letters to friends about great trips and wine purchases they looked forward to sharing.
It is the collection of a couple who fell in love with wine in the early 70’s, and spent the next decades travelling, cooking, collecting and gathering friends around the table to share and explore. The wines were sourced well and stored carefully. They purchased many of the wines on release and never moved them from their ideal cellar.
The full cases of 70s and 80s Bordeaux are remarkable, as are the older Burgundies and Napa treasures from the same period. The depth of the Chave Hermitage shows the passion for a wine they loved, with full (often multiple) cases of 1978, 1979, 1982, 1984 through 1991… and in original cartons.
This is a unique opportunity to add special treasures to your cellar and we are honored to represent the Ericson Cellar. The group will be offered in the later part of the Friday Auction session in lots 2660-2995. The auction begins each day, Thursday June 27th and Friday June 28th at 8am ET.
