● Written by Julia Harding MW 10 Dec 2013 Grab a big bottle for a great cause You have until noon GMT this Sunday (15 Dec) to bid for some superb magnums, double magnums and jeroboams, just in time for mid-winter celebrations. All the wines in the star-studded cast below, many of them signed by the owner or winemaker, have been generously donated by their producers in aid of The Grape Foundation, the children's charity established by members of the wine trade to help underprivileged children around the world. (This photo shows the significant result of a previous fundraiser: a cheque for £15,500 being presented by Paul Anthony Gidley, chief executive of The Grape Foundation, to Pippa Gough, general manager of Children with Cancer, and Luke Everett, a survivor of hepatoblastoma, at the UCL Cancer Institute Paul O'Gorman Building.) The auction is being held on the GrapePip wine auction site and you'll find full instructions on how to bid there. The auction works just like eBay. All you have to do is register on the GrapePip site and either make incremental bids or enter your maximum and leave it to the site's system to bid for you. All wines are duty paid. Bidders will be liable for delivery (delivery within the UK is £15 including VAT per lot for this auction) and there will be a 5% administrative fee charged on the hammer price of all lots. If you are bidding from outside the UK, GrapePip can arrange delivery to shippers such as Seabrooks or Connoisseur for you to make your own arrangements from there. 1999 Château La Louvière, Pessac-Léognan - 1 double magnum 2000 Château Pichon-Lalande - 1 magnum 2000 Domaine de Chevalier, Pessac-Léognan - 1 double magnum 2002 Château Talbot, St-Julien - 3 magnums 2003 Château Lynch-Bages, Pauillac - 1 double magnum 2005 Château Tertre-Rôteboeuf, St-Émilion - 1 double magnum 2005 Château Belgrave, Haut-Médoc - 3 double magnums 2005 Château Langoa-Barton, St Julien - 1 double magnum 2006 Château Grand-Corbin-Despagne, St-Émilion - 1 double magnum 2008 Château Rauzan-Ségla, Margaux - 1 double magnum 2009 Château Angélus, St-Émilion - 1 magnum 2010 Château La Fleur Pétrus, Pomerol - 3 magnums 2010 Château Pedesclaux, Pauillac - 1 imperial 2006 Château d'Yquem, Sauternes - 1 double magnum 2001 Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale, Faiveley - 1 double magnum 2006 Clos de Tart Grand Cru, Mommessin - 1 magnum 2009 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts, Domaine Leroy - 6 bottles 2006 Messorio, Le Macchiole - 1 magnum 2006 Barolo Bricco Fiasco, Azelia - 2 magnums 2006 Terre Alte, Livio Felluga - 2 magnums 2006 Venegazzu Capo di Stato, Gasperini - 1 imperial 2007 Barolo Rocche, Renato Ratti - 1 double magnum 2012 Fiore de Campo, Lis Neris - 1 jeroboam (5ltr) 2001 Numanthia, Numanthia Termes - 1 jeroboam (5ltr) 2005 Torre Muga, Bodegas Muga - 1 magnum 2006 Riesling Langenlois Seeberg, Loimer - 1 double magnum 2009 Monte Bello, Ridge Vineyards - 1 double magnum 2010 Monte Bello, Ridge Vineyards - 1 double magnum 2011 Monte Bello, Ridge Vineyards - 1 double magnum 2002 Grange, Penfolds - 1 magnum 2007 Block 3 Pinot Noir, Felton Road - 1 double magnum 2007 Block 5 Pinot Noir, Felton Road - 1 double magnum Go bid!
