For more than 50 years, TAJAN Auction House has been honouring the Fine Wines and Spirits and the Art of Living during dedicated sales. With five auctions organised each year, the Wine and Spirits speciality, managed by Ariane Brissart with the collaboration of Vadim Pacoret, confirms its position as a major player in this sector.
Our department achieves excellent results (with an average of 85% of lots sold) thanks to the quality of the cellars entrusted to us, the regularity of the auctions, the estimates given on a realistic basis of the international wine market, as well as a file of loyal clients, made up of professionals and enlightened amateurs from all over the world.
During the dispersal of the cellars of great restaurants (Maxim’s sale, Taillevent,…), or important private cellars, we travel, meet the owners, visit the cellars, in order to offer our clients the guarantee that the wines are kept in excellent conditions (without temperature variation, without harmful vibrations, without light).
Each of our sales is an invitation to visit the great vineyards of France and abroad.
