The wines of the Domaine Overnoy in the Jura will be the object of many lusts as they are magnificent and rare (110 bottles and magnums estimated 58000€ - lots 1400 to 1463). Great wines of the Rhône (including the exceptional Château Rayas on many vintages in red and white), of the Loire and also of foreign vineyards (including several bottles of Vega Sicilia Unico) will best complement these three memorable vacations of the final days of 2020.
