The Robert Drouhin Treasure – auction news

By Steen Öhman July 12, 2018 - Leave a Comment

The Jayer Auction earlier this summer showed that only the sky is the limit for the prices of rare Burgundies - if the provenance is impeccable and the wines are of unique quality and reputation. Records are however set to be broken, and the upcoming Auction from the Robert Drouhin private …
