From Jerez to Christies - González Byass’s historical archives auction

In 1994 Michael Broadbent, then head of wine at Christie’s, collaborated with González Byass to bring old and rare sherries to the international fine wine market for the first time. The partnership is rekindled this June with the auction of an unique selection of wines from the González Byass historical archives – unreleased vintages, exceptional bottles and true oenological treasures – that puts sherry alongside globally traded fine wines. Kate Hawkings visits the famous bodega with its largest and most important collection of bottled sherries in the world and gets a taste of what’s on offer.
