This Saturday at 9am ET: The Lifelong Collection of Christian Canales. Roumier and Comtes Lafon were among the very first doors to open to Christian in 1974. He never stopped collecting them in the five decades that followed, taking whatever they would allot him.
At Roumier, that loyalty shows in Musigny across twenty-eight vintages from 1988 through 2020, Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses running almost seamlessly from 1988 through 2021, and three bottles of the exceedingly rare 1988 Bonnes-Mares Vieilles Vignes. Christian loved Lafon, and once recalled a time when he drank it nearly every day. Its thirty-seven vintages of Montrachet begin with the 1977, and dearest of all to him was the 1982, the final vintage made by René Lafon.
Roumier & Lafon open the sale in lots 1-296. What comes to auction is Christian's loyalty made tangible, vintage after vintage.
Bid online Saturday, October 3 starting at 9am ET.🍷
