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
Famille Vallein-Tercinier Lot 86 Maltbarn 33 Year Old Cognac
Vallein Tercinier was established in 1850 by Georges Vallein, and today remains in the same family five generations down the line. For over a century and a half the family have developed a global reputation for fine cognac and the quality of its blending. They have also purposely steered clear of expanding to a size where they would no longer be a boutique producer, meaning they have never become a household name, but those who know their cognac will happily consider the house as a “best kept secret.\" Today the Maison is ran by Catherine and Louis Tercinier who have embraced a mixture of modern production techniques and traditions gathered from 170 years’ worth of experience.
This 33 year old was bottled for independent label, Maltbarn.
