The collection featured wine from Château Lafite Rotschild, Château Mouton Rotschild, Château Latour, Château Margaux, Château Haut Brion and Château d'Yquem. The collection of over 600 bottles of wine included almost every vintage from the 18th Century. The oenophile thieves were well-prepared and packed up the 600 wine bottles into boxes and put them into a van outside the garden entrance. They also took the tape from the surveillance and used gloves. The collection is worth close to a $500,000.
