Item Description

Driven by a passion for wine, Françoise and Stéphane Dief produced their first vintage in 1998. "We turned our garage into a makeshift wine cellar and made our first wine in 1998. Just 600 bottles. The kind of wine we love to drink, carefully crafted down to the finest detail, a very precise wine we know you’d love to drink too."

They have spent the last 15 years looking for just the right plots of land, which means parcels of tightly-packed vines, i.e. 10,000 vines per hectare. So, little by little, they have created their estate, still driven by the same passion, the same sense of detail, the same dedication to precision - growing from 1200 square meters to 18 hectares today through acquisitions including a Cru artisan vineyard of four hectares and a Cru bourgeois of seven hectares.

The winning bidder will enjoy this 6-bottle lot of a red wine that is described as "dense, strong, complex with smooth tannins; a true Médoc, unusually round thanks to the Cabernet Sauvignon."

Item Special Note

Wine lots will be available only at the event auction on November 20, 2015 at the Columbia Tower Club in Seattle. Reserve event tickets online.
