Bidding advice
You can place bids either under the lot image on the main auction page or on the right side of the individual lot page.
Placing a Maximum Bid
Use the "Set your bid limit" button on the left side of the bidding panel to enter the highest amount you're willing to bid on a lot. Our system will then automatically raise your bid in set increments if you’re outbid, up to your maximum. If someone bids above your set limit, we’ll notify you by email so you can choose whether to increase your bid.
Placing a Single Bid
Alternatively, place a single bid by selecting the button on the right side of the bidding panel. The button displays the amount needed for the next increment. For example, if the current highest bid is £50.00, the button will show "+ £55.00" (reflecting a £5.00 increment).
Incremental Bidding Explained
Our system increases bids based on preset increments, as shown in the table below, whether you set a maximum bid or make a single bid.
Bottle Details
Chateau Margaux 1975
One of the most iconic wineries in the world, Chateau Margaux has been at the forefront of the wine industry since its foundation in 16th Century and even more so since its placement within the top rung of French wines in Napoleon's 1855 Classification. As sought after today as ever it was, Chateau Margaux is one of a handful of estates whose wines enjoy the utmost global preference.
While 1975 vintage in Bordeaux was widely reported to be not great, the perfect long spring and summer seasons allowed good development of the grapes, which followed by prolonged rain ensured further ripening. The resulting high tannins provided a wine not particularly fit for drinking in its youth, but conversely provides the solid backbone essential to a considerably lengthy period of ageing.
Please note general condition of this bottle, including labels, fill level and seal.
