Our Wine Categories

Browse all lots by wine category. From prestigious Champagnes to Grand Cru Burgundy and Bordeaux classics.

France

"France is the beating heart of the wine world. From the grand châteaux of Bordeaux to the tiny family domaines of Burgundy, French wine culture is built on centuries of craftsmanship, the appellation system and an unrivalled sense of terroir — the idea that every vineyard tells its own story.

Bordeaux White

White Bordeaux pairs Sauvignon Blanc's freshness with the roundness of Sémillon. Styles range from zesty, dry Entre-Deux-Mers to the barrel-fermented, age-worthy whites of Pessac-Léognan and Graves — elegant wines that combine citrus, white fruit and a subtle creamy texture.

Bordeaux Red

Red Bordeaux is the archetypal collector's wine. Cabernet Sauvignon-led blends from the Left Bank (Médoc, Pauillac, Margaux) offer structure and longevity, while Merlot-dominated wines from the Right Bank (Saint-Émilion, Pomerol) are plush and velvety. Classified growths and petits châteaux alike reward patient cellaring.

Bordeaux Sweet

Sweet Bordeaux, crowned by Sauternes and Barsac, is made from grapes concentrated by noble rot (botrytis). The result is liquid gold: honey, apricot and saffron balanced by vibrant acidity. These wines age effortlessly for decades, making older vintages a favourite find at auction.

Burgundy Red

Red Burgundy is Pinot Noir in its purest form. From village wines to Grand Cru vineyards along the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, these wines captivate with red fruit, earthy elegance and remarkable finesse. Tiny production volumes make sought-after producers true auction treasures.

Burgundy White

White Burgundy sets the global standard for Chardonnay. Chablis delivers steely, mineral precision, while Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet offer richer, hazelnut-and-butter complexity. Great white Burgundy combines power with tension and can develop beautifully for many years.

Alsace

Alsace produces some of France's most aromatic white wines: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Muscat, usually bottled as single varieties. Sheltered by the Vosges mountains, the region yields wines of striking purity, from bone-dry to lusciously sweet Vendanges Tardives.

Rhone Red

Red Rhône wines range from the Syrah-driven power of Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie in the north to the warm, Grenache-based blends of Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the south. Expect dark fruit, pepper, garrigue herbs and generous structure — wines that drink well young yet age impressively.

Rhone White

White Rhône is a hidden gem: Viognier shines in Condrieu with apricot and blossom, while Marsanne and Roussanne create rich, textured whites in Hermitage and Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc. Full-bodied and gastronomic, these wines offer real character at often attractive prices.

Champagne

Champagne is the world's reference for sparkling wine, made by traditional bottle fermentation from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. From grandes marques to grower Champagnes, vintage cuvées and prestige bottlings are prized at auction for their elegance, rarity and celebration value.

Other regions

Beyond the famous names, France hides countless rewarding regions: Beaujolais and its crus, Provence rosé, the South-West, Savoie and more. This category is the place to discover characterful French wines and surprising value outside the classic appellations.

Loire Wit

White Loire wines stretch from crisp Muscadet at the Atlantic coast to the famous Sauvignon Blancs of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, and the chameleon grape Chenin Blanc in Vouvray and Savennières — dry, sweet or sparkling. Freshness, minerality and food-friendliness are their common thread.

Loire Rood

Red Loire is the kingdom of Cabernet Franc: Chinon, Bourgueil and Saumur-Champigny produce juicy, fragrant reds with red berries, pencil shavings and silky tannins. Light enough to serve slightly chilled, serious enough to age — a sommelier favourite.

Italy

"Italy lives and breathes wine. With more native grape varieties than any other country and vineyards from the Alps to Sicily, Italian wine culture is inseparable from its food, family and regional pride. Every region — and almost every village — has its own style and traditions.

Piedmont

Piedmont is Italy's answer to Burgundy. Nebbiolo reaches its peak in Barolo and Barbaresco — wines of tar, roses and remarkable ageing potential — while Barbera and Dolcetto provide everyday brilliance. A must-have region in any serious cellar.

Tuscany

Tuscany is one of the world's most beloved wine regions, where cypress-lined hills produce Sangiovese icons like Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino as well as the celebrated Super Tuscans. Tradition, beauty and collectibility come together in every bottle.

Other regions

Italy's diversity goes far beyond its headline regions. Think Aglianico from Campania, Primitivo from Puglia, Verdicchio from Le Marche or Friulian whites. This category gathers authentic Italian discoveries from every corner of the peninsula.

Spain

"Spanish wine culture blends deep tradition with bold innovation. Home to more vineyard land than any other country, Spain ranges from the oak-aged classics of Rioja to the slate-grown power of Priorat and the unique solera-aged sherries of Andalusia.

Ribera Del Duero

Ribera del Duero produces some of Spain's most powerful reds from Tempranillo (locally Tinto Fino). High-altitude vineyards along the Duero river yield deeply concentrated wines with dark fruit, structure and serious ageing potential — home to legends like Vega Sicilia.

Priorat

Priorat is Catalonia's prestige region, where old Garnacha and Cariñena vines struggle in llicorella slate soils. The result: intensely mineral, concentrated reds of world renown — one of only two Spanish regions holding the top DOQ classification.

Rioja

Rioja is Spain's most iconic wine region, famed for Tempranillo-based wines matured in American and French oak. The Crianza–Reserva–Gran Reserva system guarantees bottle-aged elegance: vanilla, leather and red fruit in perfect harmony.

Germany

"German wine culture is defined by precision, steep slopes and the world's greatest Riesling. The Prädikat system — from Kabinett to Trockenbeerenauslese — celebrates ripeness and balance, while dry Grosses Gewächs bottlings now rival the finest whites anywhere.

All regions

From the Mosel and Rheingau to Baden and Franken, Germany's thirteen wine regions offer far more than Riesling alone: think elegant Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), Silvaner and Weissburgunder. This category brings together German quality from every region.

Portugal

"Portugal is a treasure chest of native grape varieties and proud traditions, from the terraced Douro valley — birthplace of Port — to the Atlantic island of Madeira. Its table wines, long a local secret, now rank among Europe's most exciting discoveries.

Porto

Port is Portugal's legendary fortified wine from the Douro valley. Vintage Port matures for decades into velvety complexity, Tawny develops nutty elegance in cask, and LBV offers vintage character ready to drink. Old Ports are perennial auction favourites.

Madeira

Madeira is virtually immortal: heat-aged fortified wine from the Atlantic island that survives — and improves — for a century or more. From dry Sercial to rich Malmsey, its caramel, nut and vibrant acidity make every bottle a piece of living history.

Portugese Wines

Portuguese table wines deserve the spotlight: powerful Douro reds from Port grape varieties, elegant Dão, fruit-driven Alentejo and zesty Vinho Verde. Native grapes like Touriga Nacional give these wines a personality found nowhere else.

Austria

"Austrian wine culture combines Alpine precision with Danube charm. Grüner Veltliner, the country's signature grape, delivers peppery, food-loving whites, while the Wachau, Kamptal and Burgenland produce world-class Riesling and elegant reds such as Blaufränkisch.

All regions

From the steep Wachau terraces to the warm shores of Lake Neusiedl, Austria's regions cover crisp Grüner Veltliner, noble Riesling, spicy Blaufränkisch and luscious sweet wines. This category unites the full Austrian spectrum.

Argentina

"Argentina is South America's wine giant, where vineyards climb the Andes foothills to some of the highest altitudes on earth. Malbec found its true home here, producing dark, velvety reds that have conquered the world.

Argentina

Argentine wines are led by Malbec from Mendoza — plush, dark-fruited and irresistibly smooth — supported by structured Cabernet Sauvignon, characterful Bonarda and the floral white Torrontés. High-altitude freshness keeps even the richest wines in balance.

USA

"The USA is a wine powerhouse led by California, where Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon stands shoulder to shoulder with the world's greatest reds. Oregon Pinot Noir and Washington reds complete a remarkably diverse picture.

All regions

From Napa and Sonoma to Oregon's Willamette Valley and Washington State, American wines combine ripe fruit with growing finesse. Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Zinfandel — California's own heritage grape — lead the way.

Australia & New Zealand

"Australia and New Zealand transformed the modern wine world. Australia's old-vine Shiraz from Barossa and elegant Margaret River Cabernets contrast with New Zealand's zesty Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and silky Central Otago Pinot Noir.

All regions

From Barossa Shiraz and Hunter Semillon to Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and Central Otago Pinot Noir, this category spans the best of both nations: sun-filled Australian power and New Zealand's cool-climate purity.

Chili

"Chile is a viticultural paradise: a narrow ribbon of vineyards between the Andes and the Pacific, blessed with sunshine, cooling ocean breezes and ungrafted pre-phylloxera vines. Carmenère, rediscovered here, became the country's signature red.

All regions

Chilean wines from every valley: powerful Cabernet Sauvignon from Maipo, spicy signature-grape Carmenère from Colchagua and vibrant coastal whites from Casablanca. Reliable quality from entry level to icon wine.

South Africa

"South Africa unites Old World elegance with New World fruit. The Cape winelands — among the most beautiful on earth — have over 350 years of history, from Stellenbosch Cabernet and Swartland Syrah to the country's own grape, Pinotage.

All regions

From Stellenbosch and Franschhoek to the Swartland and cool-climate Walker Bay, South African wines offer structured Cabernet blends, old-vine Chenin Blanc, savoury Syrah and the unmistakable Pinotage — Cape character in every glass.

Hungary

"Hungary boasts one of Europe's oldest and proudest wine cultures, crowned by Tokaj — the world's first classified wine region and home of the legendary sweet Tokaji Aszú, once 'the wine of kings, the king of wines'.

All regions

From Tokaj and Eger to Villány and the shores of Lake Balaton, Hungary's wine regions combine centuries of tradition with modern winemaking — sweet icons, structured reds and mineral volcanic whites alike.

Asian Wines

"Asia is the wine world's newest frontier. Japanese Koshu offers delicate, sushi-friendly whites, Chinese estates in Ningxia win international awards with Bordeaux-style blends, and Indian vineyards are emerging fast.

All Regions

From Japan's delicate Koshu and bold Chinese Cabernet blends to pioneering wines from India and Thailand: this category gathers Asia's most interesting bottles — rare finds that surprise even seasoned tasters.

Belgian Wines

"Belgium may be famous for beer, but its wine culture is flourishing. Limestone soils and a warming climate have made Belgian sparkling wine — often from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir — a genuine success story, alongside crisp whites from grapes like Chardonnay and Müller-Thurgau.

All regions

Belgian wines from all regions: award-winning traditional-method sparkling from Limburg and Hainaut, fresh whites from the Hageland and Haspengouw and characterful reds from a new generation of growers. Proudly local, surprisingly good.

Spirits

"Fine spirits are the perfect companions to a great wine cellar. This collection spans aged Scotch whiskies, venerable Cognacs and Armagnacs, Italian grappa and more — crafted distillates where age, provenance and rarity define value.

Whisky

Whisky is the world's most collected spirit. From smoky Islay single malts to elegant Speyside classics, Irish pot still and Japanese releases: age statements, limited editions and silent distilleries make every auction lot worth a closer look.

Cognac

Cognac is France's most refined brandy, double-distilled and aged in Limousin oak. From VS to XO and beyond, age brings layers of dried fruit, rancio and spice — and old vintage Cognacs from celebrated houses are prized collector's items.

Others

Beyond whisky and Cognac lies a world of fine distillates: rum, gin, Calvados, eaux-de-vie and rare liqueurs. This category collects special bottlings and curiosities for the adventurous spirits enthusiast.

Zwitserland

"Swiss wine is one of Europe's best-kept secrets: barely 2% leaves the country. Steep terraced vineyards along Lake Geneva and the Valais produce delicate Chasselas, fragrant Petite Arvine and surprisingly fine Pinot Noir.

Alle regio's

From the UNESCO-listed Lavaux terraces to the high vineyards of the Valais and Ticino's Merlot country: Swiss wines from every region, rarely seen abroad and all the more rewarding to discover at auction.

Buiten EU

"Wines from outside the European Union open the door to the wider wine world: from the Americas and South Africa to Australia, New Zealand and beyond. New World freedom, ripe fruit and innovative winemaking in one category.

Wit

White wines from outside the EU: think vibrant New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, rich Californian Chardonnay, South African old-vine Chenin Blanc and aromatic discoveries from South America. Sun-ripened fruit balanced by modern, fresh winemaking.

Lebanon

"Lebanon is home to one of the world's oldest wine cultures — over 5,000 years, from the Phoenicians onward. In the high Bekaa Valley, French grape varieties meet Mediterranean sun, producing legendary estates such as Château Musar.

All Regions

Lebanese wines from the Bekaa Valley and beyond: spicy, full-bodied reds from Cabernet, Cinsault and Carignan, and surprising whites from native Obaideh and Merwah. The iconic Château Musar leads a fascinating, characterful category.

Dutch Wines

"Dutch wine has come of age. A warming climate, modern fungus-resistant grape varieties and dedicated growers from Limburg to Groningen now produce award-winning whites, elegant sparkling wines and ever-improving reds.

All regions

Dutch wines from all regions: crisp whites from Johanniter and Solaris, traditional-method sparkling, Limburg Auxerrois and Pinot varieties from the river country. Local pride, short supply chains and surprising quality in every bottle.

All others Beverages

All others Beverages

A varied selection of other beverages: special beers, ciders, vermouth, sake and more. Distinctive drinks beyond the classic wine and spirits categories, hand-picked for discovery.
