Kipling #6

Red as snow | An enchanting realm of fine wine collections

So let it snow, let it snow, let it snow !
This magnificent song, known all around the world thanks to the various versions by the famous duo Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, was originally written just after the end of the Second World War, under the hot skies of June 1945…
As the year 2023 draws to a close, let us pray for peace and sharing, and for all those moments – great or small – spent over a good meal with family or friends, but also for new encounters and open-mindedness... And what could be better than a fine bottle of wine, whatever the region, the vintage or the price, as long as it brings smiles and pleasure?
I can tell you that here at Baghera/wines we have thoroughly enjoyed putting together this December sale, the last sale of the year, made up of wines from three
independent cellars. We are, of course, very familiar with the wines, whose provenance and conservation are absolutely perfect, especially since the vast majority were bought directly from the estates/châteaux. You can delve in with absolute confidence.
I’ll leave it to you to explore the wines from these magnificent cellars, which will be the stuff of dreams for Swiss wine lovers; great Burgundies with some magnificent mature assortments from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti as well as a splendid vertical of Clos de Tart that is over 25 years old, wines from Domaine Ghislaine Barthod to be discovered, not forgetting Bordeaux with the rare cases of Duclot, including the highly sought-after Carré d’As 2000 in magnums, along with a few gems from Emmanuel Reynaud…
So if these few lines haven’t convinced you to get your corkscrew ready at once, I hope they will at least leave you with this delightful refrain in your ears and a smile on your face.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
