Expansive offering represents a fraction of one of Europe’s most extensive and comprehensive cellars, curated over many years by the collector, fine wine and rare spirits writer, and founder of the ‘Oscars of Fine Wine’: The Golden Vines® Awards

LONDON, 2 JUNE 2023 – Sotheby’s sale of wines from the cellar of Lewis Chester concluded yesterday, having achieved an exceptional total of £1,382,309 / $1,727,886. The ‘No Reserve’ auction attracted more than 15,700 bids and global participation from 35 countries, with all 774 lots going to some 200 buyers across Europe, the US and Asia – 30% of them new to Sotheby’s.

The expansive offering represented a mere fraction of one of Europe’s most extensive and comprehensive cellars, curated over many years by Lewis Chester DipWSET – the extraordinarily determined collector and fine wine and rare spirits writer, and founder of the ‘Oscars of Fine Wine’: The Golden Vines® Awards.

Lewis’ motivation to offer the first tranche of his collection at auction was driven in part by his collection having grown far too big to contemplate consuming it all, and by a desire to provide fellow fine wine devotees the opportunity to acquire superb wines with impeccable provenance. All bottles were purchased either direct from the respective Domaines via allocation or from only the most reputable UK merchant, then carefully cellared in professional temperature-controlled storage.

“We knew that Lewis’s cellar was extraordinary in terms of quality and quantity, as he’s such an ardent, focussed collector. It’s a huge joy to have had such a positive result, and it’s a thrill for the team in London to have brought these wines to the market and to see such magnificent results. The prices provide a strong and positive signpost into the second half of the year, underlining Sotheby’s strength in the marketplace and connection to collectors, both new and existing.”

GARY OWEN, HEAD OF AUCTION SALES, UK, SOTHEBY’S WINE

“Firstly, a big thank you to the extraordinary team at Sotheby’s Wine who have been a joy to work with, both for this auction and in building our new long-term partnership for the Golden Vines® and Gerard Basset Foundation. It’s been very exciting to see the positive reaction from fine wine lovers globally to the wines being sold in this inaugural auction which reflect my own journey of discovery and love for fine wine.”

LEWIS CHESTER

The Inaugural Selection was dominated by wines from five key regions: Burgundy, Champagne, Bordeaux, Rhône, and Piedmont. Lewis’ meticulous approach to collecting and study of fine wine was reflected in not only the all-star roster of legendary Domaines and Châteaux, but crucially also in the strict prevalence of lauded vintages from all of the represented appellations.

Burgundy led the charge, and the selection was fittingly typified by apex Domaines: Rousseau, Roumier, de Vogüé, Leflaive, and Ponsot, to name but a few. Venturing north to Champagne, the monumental houses of Krug and Dom Pérignon were represented by a staggering range of cuvées, vintages and large formats. First Growths Lafite, Latour, and Margaux plus Haut-Brion Blanc flew the flag for the Left Bank in Bordeaux, with the Right Bank supplying rare double-magnums of Le Pin and magnums of Lafleur. The consignment also included wines from the Loire and Mosel valleys, Tuscany, Switzerland, and Santa Cruz Mountains.

Liquid Icons and The Golden Vines® Awards

“Our partnership with Lewis will continue this year with October’s Golden Vines weekend in Paris. Inspirational gala dinners, luxurious lunches and exceptional masterclasses await those who join us as we raise money exclusively for The Gérard Basset Foundation to fund educational programmes on diversity and inclusivity in the wine.”

AMAYÈS AOULI, SOTHEBY’S HEAD OF WINE, EUROPE

Earlier this year, Sotheby’s Wine announced a new multi-year partnership with The Golden Vines® Awards and the Gérard Basset Foundation. Sotheby’s will conduct the Golden Vines® Live Auction which raises money exclusively for the Foundation’s work around diversity and inclusivity in the wine, spirits and hospitality sector, during the Golden Vines® Dress to Party Charity Gala on Friday 13 October 2023 at Pavillons de Bercy in Paris.

Liquid Icons was founded by two friends, Gérard Basset OBE MW MS and Lewis Chester DipWSET. When Gérard discovered that he had terminal cancer, the need to create something lasting and emphatic that would help create a lasting legacy for Gérard’s incredible achievements became a singular goal for the company. In 2018, The Global Fine Wine Report was born which, since Gérard’s death in January 2019, has become known as The Gérard Basset Global Fine Wine Report. Uniquely, the Report – a free publication – is based on a detailed survey that is completed by leading fine wine professionals globally: Masters of Wine (MW), Master Sommeliers (MS), sommeliers, wine brokers and merchants, wine press and other members of the fine wine industry.

In the summer of 2020, Lewis had the idea of taking the ‘Winners in the Report’ and creating the ‘Oscars of Fine Wine’, to be known as The Golden Vines Awards. These awards would help elevate the fine wine industry by creating a world-class event that would celebrate the very best from the world of fine wine. At the same time, in order to enhance Gérard’s lasting legacy, Lewis and Nina Basset (Gérard’s widow) agreed to create a charity in Gerard’s name: the Gérard Basset Foundation (the Foundation). The Golden Vines Awards would be run as a not-for-profit, with all profits from the event and related charity auctions going to the Foundation.

Milan City Guide For Design Lovers Part II

 

If you’ll be in Milan, from 18th To 23rd April 2023, visiting the Salone Del Mobile at Fiera Milano Rho you should also enjoy the city – Milan has a lot to offer – and that’s why we want to present a complete Milan city guide for Design Lovers!


TOP GALLERIES & MUSEUMS TO VISIT

GALLERIA CARLA SOZZANI

The gallery is located in a former industrial building, typical of Milanese architecture. Since its opening, Galleria Carla Sozzani has established itself as one of the most important photography galleries in Italy. Over 200 exhibitions have been shown in the presence of famous photographers, often presenting works that had never been shown in Italy before: Helmut Newton, Annie Leibovitz, Bruce Weber, Bert Stern, Sarah Moon, Paolo Roversi, David Bailey, Hiro, David LaChapelle, amongst others.

PAC – PAC’s exhibitions are often a source of interest and debate in Milan because they highlight issues of great social importance (for example Regina José Galindo’s 2014 “Estoy Viva” show addressed the female condition, while the 2013 “Rise and Fall of Apartheid” exhibition gave insight into life before, during and after apartheid).

MIART

From 14 to 16 April 2023 miart, Milan‘s international modern and contemporary art fair returns. With 169 galleries from the 27th edition of the fair – directed for the third year by Nicola Ricciardi – strengthens the international representation and at the same time consolidates the link with the main Italian companies. Crescendo is the watchword of the edition, underlining the development seen over the previous two years and the desire to continue on an upward trajectory beyond 2023.

HANGAR BICOCCA

If you love art, design, and getting out of the city centre, you’ll love Hangar Bicocca. Housed in a converted industrial building in an up-and-coming area outside the city centre, Hangar Bicocca attracts artsy types with its cutting-edge exhibitions and workshops. This place is famous for its site-specific installations (similar to those at London’s Tate Modern) that over the years have included giant balloons and rooms set at -30 °C.

MUDEC

With constant efforts on the part of the municipal authorities to preserve the memory of the economic and social processes that have shaped the city’s identity, the Milan City Council took steps in 1990 to buy the old Ansaldo industrial plant at Porta Genova and use it for cultural services. The disused factories, authentic monuments of industrial archaeology, have been converted into studios, workshops, and new creative spaces.

LEONARDO DAVINCI SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY MUSEUM

After seeing the last supper of DaVinci at the Santa Maria Delle Grazie, you should visit the Museo Nazionale Della Scienza e Della Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci where you can find more of his original drawings and numerous models of his scientific innovations. Moreover, it has interactive labs, a submarine exhibit, and a section devoted to science for young children.

MUSEO DEL NOVECENTO

The Museo del Novecento was established on 6 December 2010 with the goal of spreading knowledge of 20th-century art and offering a more comprehensive insight into the collections that the city of Milan has inherited over time. Besides its core exhibition activity, the Museum is active in the conservation, investigation, and promotion of 20th-century Italian cultural and artistic heritage with the final aim of reaching an ever wider audience.


ITALIAN-INSPIRED DISHES

Italian gastronomy is an integral part of the Mediterranean diet, which, is itself, part of the intangible cultural Heritage of Humanity by Unesco. For the Italian population, cooking is an art of living that seduces and enchants. The Italians always want to use mainly fresh, seasonal and local products. The constant search for a gustatory balance that highlights the flavour of each food dominates Italian culinary recipesItalian gastronomy, simple but tasty, is a culture that provides the heritage of each family.

THE TYPICAL MENU IN ITALY
FROM THE MODERN SPRAWL OF MILAN TO THE ROMANTIC RENAISSANCE VILLAGES, THERE IS LOMBARDY

Besides pristine alpine valleys and luxurious lakeside resorts, Italy’s richest region also happens to be one of its most diverse. Glamour and opulence are synonymous with Lombardy, whether that’s the grandiose villas that line Lake Garda and Lake Como, the haute couture of fashion capital Milan, or its illustrious arts and literary heritage. The region is a crossroads of tradition and modernity, and its skylines are a fascinating blend of old and new. Its cuisine is equally rich, with expensive spices, prime cuts of meat and aged cheeses bringing flair to risotto and polenta-based dishes. How is the appetite? If the desire is to bring a little slice of Lombardy home, dive deeper into this stunning region with the greatest Milanese-inspired recipes, traditional cocktails, regional wine guides and more.

NEGRONI SBAGLIATO

As a spritz twist on Italy’s most iconic cocktail, the Negroni Sbagliato makes the perfect aperitif. The sharp bite of the bittersweet Campari & Vermouth combination is perfectly counterbalanced by the crisp, effervescent spumante. Coveted invites you to indulge in an authentic taste of Lombard cuisine with real limited-edition dishes from this powerful, yet charming region.

RISOTTO

Large parts of Lombardy are covered by rice paddies, so risottos and other rice dishes are a staple. Creamy and rich in cheese, it is prepared with rice typical of northern areas, such as the Arborio, Carnaroli, and Vialone varieties, and cooked slowly in broth.

POLENTA

For centuries, polenta has been a staple dish in Lombard cuisine. Polenta is served in slices, even fried, to be brought to the table without seasoning, or as an accompaniment to various types of meat, with butter, soft cheeses, fish, or dishes that contain a lot of sauce.

OSSOBUCO

Ossobuco is a Lombard speciality of cross-cut veal shanks braised with vegetables, white wine and broth. It’s often served alongside risotto alla Milanese, the rice dish with a golden hue due to saffron.

PANETTONE

Panettone originated in Lombardy and is an iconic symbol of Christmas in Italy. This enriched bread – dotted with rum-soak dried fruit, citrus, and almonds – is easy to make at home with the time-saving tip of letting it rise overnight in the refrigerator.

GORGONZOLA

Gorgonzola is one of the world´s oldest blue-veined cheeses and is named after the town from which it originates. It is exclusively made from cow’s milk and is versatile in its uses, adding zest to risottos, pastas or pizzas.

TORTELLI DI ZUCCA

Tortelli di zucca is pumpkin-stuffed pasta with crushed amaretti and candied fruits. Hailing from Lombardy, the pasta is also tossed in sage-infused butter before serving.

NEBBIOLO GRAPES

Lombardy produces Nebbiolo red wines in the Valtellina region. Nebbiolo wines are often distinctively perfumed with an aroma described as “tar and roses” along with a moderate body and fresh acidity.

COTOLETTA

Cotoletta alla Milanese is a flattened veal cutlet covered in egg and breadcrumbs and flash-fried in butter. It is one of the signature dishes of Milan, the style and design capital of Italy.

A QUEST FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY

Rare Cask is crafted from the finest and rarest sherry seasoned oak casks, unearthed by The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team using their knowledge, skill, passion, and creativity in their quest to seek out the extraordinary.

This single malt whisky reveals the remarkable art and science of the Whisky Maker in selecting unique oak casks that exhibit a distinctive and complex flavour profile. They were curated for maturation by The Macallan Master of Wood and delivered to the exacting specifications of The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team to create Rare Cask. This luxurious expression highlights the magic and science in The Macallan’s intricate whisky making process, as the whisky maker identifies the exceptional oak casks which impart the intense and highly complex flavour profile.

Soft aromas of vanilla with rich raisin lead the journey of discovery into this single malt whisky, followed by a sweet fusion of fresh apple, lemon and orange. Intense sweet raisin flavours dominate the palate, before giving way to vanilla and dark chocolate, with layers of light citrus zest. The finish is long, rich and velvety to offer a decadent whisky experience that will leave a lasting impression.

Every oak cask has its own personality, with little differences that make them unique. From time to time The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team discovers casks maturing in our warehouses which stand out from the others.

 Sarah Burgess, Lead Whisky Maker

Marks of Distinction

FROM THE CASK

Every Macallan single malt reveals the unrivalled commitment to the mastery of wood and spirit for which The Macallan has been known since it was established in 1824. It is an expression of our enduring desire to go beyond ordinary, to seek out the extraordinary, and create peerless single malts.

Our reputation for the extraordinary is characterised by the exceptional oak casks for which The Macallan is renowned. Sourced, crafted, toasted and seasoned under the watchful eye of the Master of Wood, the hand-picked casks are delivered to the demanding specifications of the Whisky Mastery Team. It is the oak that makes the greatest contribution to the quality, natural colour and distinctive aromas and flavours at the heart of this single malt whisky.

Once filled, the maturing spirit remains undisturbed in the same casks for the necessary number of years it needs to be worthy of its destined Macallan expression. It is these oak casks that make the greatest contribution to the quality, natural colour and distinctive aromas and flavours which lie at the heart of The Macallan single malt.
