Wine | Lot 1–279

Madison Auction is delighted to present to you the carefully curated auction that contains 279 lots of fine wines.

Because of the frost in the 2016 harvest season in Burgundy, many wineries don’t have enough grape to make Montrachet individually. Therefore, seven owners of Montrachet Grand Cru vineyard plots, including Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leflaive and Domaine Comtes Lafon, have joined forces to produce a unique blend edition of Montrachet (Lot 252), with only 500 bottles.

Moreover, there are 3 bottles of 1998 Domaine Leroy Musigny Grand Cru (Lot 227~229) with consecutive bottle numbers.

As to the Bordeaux session, Madison Auction offers you the large formats from five First Growths from the best vintages, including 1990 Lafite magnum (Lot 6~7), double magnum of 1986 Mouton Rothschild (Lot 140), and 2005 Mouton Imperial (Lot 141) .

In addition to the fine wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, the French masterpiece in this sale includes 2005 Château Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve from Rhône Valley (Lot 95), in a style of elegance that is comparable to that of the finest Burgundies. Especially since it comes from 2005, one of the best vintages in France in the last two decades, and has an unrivaled ability to be aged in the cellar.

With Lot 107, a collection from two giants of Brunello di Montalcino, lovers of Italian wines can’t afford to miss out on this opportunity.

What’s more…the Italian Barbaresco master Gaja are also featured in this auction. In this sale, there is a wide range of Gaja’s Barbaresco (Lot 201~204) from the 1970s to 2008 vintage, which are definitely Italian classics that can be both consumed and collected.

Sine Qua Non, one of the most prestigious cult wine estate in US, combining bold creativity and excellent quality, made a stunning debut with a few mixed lots from 2003 to 2016 vintage (Lot 188~193). Seize the opportunity!

Hokkaido wines have recently come to international prominence, with Takahiko Nana-Tsu-Mari Pinot Noir becoming one of the most sought-after Japanese boutique wines, with a rare production and seldom-exported portfolio that has whetted the appetites of drinkers. In this sale, the TAKAHIKO EXPERIENCE (Lot 225) even has five vertical vintages from 2014-2018, a rarity at auction.

Whisky | Lot 8001– 8091

Although there are only have 91 lots of whisky in this sale, there are 74 lots with total 278 bottles of Macallan at very affordable prices.

In this sale, there are Macallan 18 YO sherry oak from the affordable 2018 release to the collectible 1968 edition (Lot 8017–8021, 8088–8091), with the starting price at less than HK$2,000!

Madison Auction also has the ‘Distil Your World’ London Limited Edition (Lot 8027), the collaboration with renowned Roca Brothers, with a starting price of only HK$32,000! You certainly cannot miss this one.

Besides, there are one early release of Macallan Archival Series Folio 2 (Lot 8062) and one Macallan Edition Full Set (Lot 8006). In Lot 8004–8005, 8063–8066, there are Edition 1-6, with 6 bottles of each edition in each lot.

For those who like the Macallan official bottlings from the past, consider the 7 YO mixed lots imported from Italy (Lot 8022 & 8067) and the 10 YO bottling from 1980s to the millennium (Lot 8068 & 8070); or for those with a bigger budget, Exceptional Single Cask (Lot 80758076) would be a great choice.

There are 25 lots, 85 bottles of independent bottling (IB) in this sale. Gordon & MacPhail’s Speymalt is the first choice for drinking IB Macallan, ranging from 1965 to 1995 (Lot 8035–8038).

Cadenhead’s, the oldest independent bottler, has also bottled a number of classic Macallans, including the Dumpy and the Authentic Collection (Lot 8009–8012, 8086). The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) is a major player in the IB world, especially their first edition. In this auction we have 3 bottles of the old Macallan bottled by SMWS (Lot 8016) with a starting price of only HK$16,000!

Although there are only 17 lots of whiskies which are not Macallan, the quality should not be overlooked. If you’re looking for high ratings, the 1973 Bowmore 16 YO (Lot 8057) bottled by Italian whisky giant Sestante, the Port Ellen 32 YO Special Release 2012 (Lot 8052), and the Keepers of the Quaich Exclusive Boxed Collectors’ Set (Lot 8046) are great choices, which received Whiskyfun scores of 93, 95 and 91 respectively!

For the whisky aficionado, Madison also offers 1965 Glen Elgin and 1973 Ardbeg both bottled from Samaroli (Lot 8058- 8059)! Whisky drinkers looking for an older vintage should look out for the 1939 Glenlivet (Lot 8045), bottled by Gordon & MacPhail, which is the oldest vintage in the sale.

There are some bottles from the discontinued distilleries in this sale, such as Port Ellen, Rosebank and Karuizawa. However, some of the discontinued distilleries such as Littlemill, Imperial, Caperdonich, Glen Mhor and North Port (Brechin) are also rare gems you should not miss out (Lot 8042, 8050–8056).

The Second “FROM ZIQUEJIE TERRACES TO THE WORLD” Global Farming Culture Exchange and Mutual Learning Conference Held

Published

on

By

LOUDI, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 12, the opening ceremony and keynote speeches of the Second “FROM ZIQUEJIE TERRACES TO THE WORLD” Global Farming Culture Exchange and Mutual Learning Conference were presented in Xinhua County, Loudi City, Hunan Province. Over 200 guests, including representatives from international organizations such as the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), diplomats from terrace-cultivating countries like France and Peru, and domestic and international experts from the agriculture, culture, and tourism sectors, gathered to discuss key issues including the protection of global agricultural cultural heritage and the development of the green agricultural economy. Together, they explored ways to preserve and promote farming culture, showcasing Hunan’s unique approach to agricultural heritage protection and innovation, while contributing China’s solutions for the safeguarding of global agricultural cultural heritage.

During the opening ceremony, the Consensus on the Integrated Development of Terraces in Agriculture, Culture, and Tourism was released. The document promotes the understanding of the value of terraces, the protection of terrace ecosystems, the preservation of farming culture, the active promotion of agriculture, culture, and tourism integration, enhanced international exchange and cooperation, and the innovation of development models. The aim is to promote the effective protection and sustainable development of terraces globally, deepen the integration of agriculture, culture, and tourism, build distinctive terrace-based industrial chains, enhance the overall competitiveness of terrace regions, and achieve ecological, economic, and social benefits for all.

Terraced fields exemplify the harmonious coexistence of human ingenuity and nature. They carry rich agricultural traditions and historical memories, and their value in preserving biodiversity, ensuring food security, and promoting regional economic development is immeasurable. The Ziquejie Terraces, recognized as both a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System and a World Heritage Irrigation Structure, are the product of the collective labor of the Miao, Yao, Dong, Han, and other ethnic groups throughout history. These terraces are a historical testament to the merging of mountain hunting cultures with rice farming cultures.

Looking ahead, Loudi City will further strengthen the protection of agricultural cultural heritage, promote cultural inheritance, and foster the integration of agriculture, culture, and tourism. Through these efforts, it aims to provide concrete examples of “authentic protection, living use, and industrial integration” for the world.
