Since 1981 the Antique Wine Company has
become the leading specialist supplier in mature
vintages of fine wines to private collectors, consumers,
and prestige dining establishments in international
markets.
During this time we have advised, negotiated and
concluded many of the world’s most interesting wine
transactions, something which has enabled me to enjoy
not only the experience of tasting and evaluating many
exceptional vintages, but also the privilege of
friendship with some of the world’s most enthusiastic
wine collectors and consumers.
Chateau d’Yquem is something very special to our heart.
The Antique Wine Company currently holds the Guinness
World Record for the most valuable bottle of white wine
ever sold, the 1787 Chateau Yquem, and has, on two
previous occasions, negotiated the change in ownership
of two of the world’s greatest Chateau d’Yquem
collections. We are therefore especially privileged to
be presenting The Great Antique Yquem Collection to the
international market.
Dating back to 1860, this is, to our knowledge the
deepest complete lineage of consecutive vintages of what
is unquestionably the greatest white wine in the world.
Stephen Williams
Managing Director
Antique Wine Company
