"the company behind a new wine shop in downtown DC, Berry Bros. & Rudd, launched in London way back in 1698. The company's Jamie Ritchie gives us a peek at some of the rarest-and priciest-offerings at its first US store. Château Lafite Rothschild 1961 Imperial (6L), $100,000 "Large formats of this age are incredibly rare. This one was bought by Berry Bros. & Rudd on release and has been in our care ever since. We still have the original ledgers that itemize the purchase.""
"Romanée Saint-Vivant, Sylvain Cathiard 1996, $3,150 "Cathiard is one of the most highly sought-after producers in Burgundy, and it's rare to find a complete original case from a vintage like 1996 in the US." Harlan Estate 1992, $1,695 "1990 was Harlan Estate's first commercial vintage, so finding pristine bottles from this era is extremely rare. It's an amazing wine as well as a little piece of American viticultural history.""
Berry Bros. & Rudd, founded in London in 1698, opened its first U.S. shop in downtown DC offering historically significant, high-value bottles. Inventory includes a Château Lafite Rothschild 1961 Imperial (6L) priced at $100,000 that was purchased on release and retained with original ledgers. The shop features rare Burgundy such as Romanée Saint-Vivant Sylvain Cathiard 1996 and early California vintages like Harlan Estate 1992, both noted for scarcity in pristine condition. Giacomo Conterno's Monfortino Riserva 1997 appears as a mature, balanced Italian classic. Prices reflect provenance, rarity, and historical significance.
