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
Brillet Héritage Brut De Fût Grande Champagne Cognac
Despite the official founding of the trading house in 1850, the Brillet family link their history in cognac back to as early as 1656. This year marked settling of the Maison Brillet in the Grande Champagne region, and the birth of Guy Brillet, who went on to install his the alembic at the family property. This was the introduction of the double distillation process that creates cognac to this day.
This Grand Cru Brut de Fût cognac is aged half a century in oak casks, then manually transferred directly to individually-blown bottles at its natural alcohol strength. As with all of Brillet's cognacs, it is hand-crafted in the family distillery in Les Aireaux, a small hamlet near Jarnac in Cognac.
