Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron 2eme Grand Cru Classe 1996 [2 bottles - Lot 1] is an exceptional red wine from a renowned Bordeaux winery. This 1996 vintage is distinguished by its exceptional harmony and depth, preserved through careful storage in a cool, humid natural stone cellar under optimal conditions. The Pichon-Longueville Baron winery is known for its elegant and complex wines that delight both connoisseurs and gourmets. The bottles are from first owners and are in outstanding condition, which makes this lot particularly valuable.

The tasting note for this wine describes a complex fruit palette with notes of dark berries, delicate spices, and a hint of oak. On the palate, an elegant tannin structure is perfectly complemented by the robust fruit. The balance between freshness and ripeness makes this wine a true delight. An ideal drinking time is within the next few years, allowing the aromas to develop even further. This wine is perfect for special occasions and is an investment in quality. For a harmonious taste experience, we recommend pairing it with leg of lamb, beef steak, or aged cheese, which perfectly underscore the complexity of this wine.

FINE WINE
AUCTIONS

Auction your way to select fine wine rarities with us easily and conveniently. Here you'll find all the important information about the process before, during, and after the auction.

Would you like to auction your own wines with us? Send us an inquiry, and we'll be happy to get back to you!

Basics about auctions

With VINOSAS auctions, you have the opportunity to purchase selected wines at the best price. Unlike regular auctions, however, you always have the option to immediately purchase the wine from an ongoing auction at the regular selling price. This gives you the opportunity to purchase wines at a lower price than our regular selling price – without any additional fees!

Fees, premiums & co.

Since we are not a traditional auction house, but simply offer our wines under an alternative pricing model, we do not charge any additional fees or premiums. If you successfully win a wine, you only pay the purchase price plus shipping costs.

Requirements for submitting a bid

The only difference from regular purchases in our online shop is that you must have a customer account with us and be logged in to place bids. You can easily create a customer account here, free of charge.

Your customer account will then provide you with an overview of all your bids, auction wins, etc.

Make simple bids

To place a bid on an auction item, you must be logged into your customer account. To bid, simply enter the desired bid and then click "BID."

Your bid must be at least €5 higher than the current leading bid.

Please note that you may be immediately outbid by other users who have placed a bid via the bidding agent if their maximum bid is higher than your current bid.

Bidding with bidding agent

With our bidding agent, you only bid enough to be the highest bidder until another bidder has placed a bid higher than your maximum bid.

To do so, click on "BID WITH BIDDING AGENT" and enter your maximum bid in the window that opens.

Unlike with normal bids, the bidding agent now automatically only bids the minimum price necessary to be the highest bidder until another bidder has placed a bid higher than your maximum bid.

Can I withdraw my bid?

No. All bids are legally binding and, if successful, oblige the buyer to purchase.

Direct-buy

You can purchase the item at any time, even during an ongoing auction, at the Buy It Now price (equivalent to our regular selling price).

In this case, the item will be placed in your shopping cart, and you can purchase it like a regular online shop item.

Please note that once an item has been placed in your shopping cart using Buy It Now, the purchase is binding, and you must complete the order. Cancellation of the purchase order is not possible.

After winning the auction

If you have successfully won an item, you will receive an email from us notifying you of your successful bid.

Please log in to your customer account on our website. You will now find all your won auctions under "Auctions."

Pay for won auction

After you have placed the items you have won in your shopping cart in your customer account, you can pay for the items like regular purchases from our online shop.

Shipping costs will be automatically calculated according to our shipping policy.

All of our regularly accepted payment options are available to you.

Delivery of the auctioned wines

The wines will be delivered immediately after receipt of payment. We usually ship our wines via UPS, and you will receive a notification with a tracking number via email once your wines have left our premises.

LIFE BEFORE...

Where possible, and especially with larger wine cellar purchases, the wine cellars of the previous owners tell us a lot about the storage conditions of the wines. A professionally managed wine cellar usually guarantees perfect storage conditions for the wines. We acquire our wines exclusively from reputable, mostly private wine collectors.

HIDDEN FEATURES

Many high-quality wines today feature various security features for authentication, such as markings that only become visible under UV light. We check and compare all purchased wines for these features using an extensive database, and if there is even the slightest doubt, we reject the wine.

THE DETAILS MATTER

We examine wine labels under a microscope to determine their quality, and we check the printed image for any peculiarities that are typical for a particular winery, wine, or vintage. We draw on a large image database to identify any anomalies.

COLOR MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Last but not least, we also examine the wine's composition. Color, turbidity, sediment, and the bubbles in a champagne reveal a lot about the wine's or champagne's condition and potential drinking pleasure.
