Foreword MASTER CELLAR

Reducing this Master Cellar auction to the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti only would be unfair, as the Bordeaux selection is also a pure delight.

How can you not tremble when faced with the most prestigious wines from both ends of Bordeaux ? Is it not every collector’s dream to be magically transported back in time and purchase rare bottles of Yquem, sometimes as old as 170 years of age, all coming from one of the greatest Swiss wine cellars which have been protecting the precious beverage…

La Tâche L

a Tâche is a rgua bly the most r ev er ed r ed Burgundy and while it has undeniable density and power, it is its consistent sweet flesh, limitless layers and perfume that

entrances, causing even the most cynic and strong-willed to weaken at the knees. From a magical first sip of the 1979 in magnum in 1999 to the most recent tasting of its 2014 in barrel, from lesser vintages and exceptional ones, it is utterly mesmerizing. Tasting its latest vintage amidst a choir of barrels, I could not help but feel that La Tâche was like a siren’s song, pulling one in, enchanting the spirit and drowning out all reason.

Th i s m y t h i c a l w i n e h a i l s f r o m 2 d i f f e r e n t c l i m a t s – La Tâche, its historical core, and the larger Les Gaudichots ou La Tâche. This last climat has an unusual, somewhat unclear history which was originally only called Les Gaudichots, a name, which is still used for 3 small parcels of premier cru vineyards and even one village, though the premier cru is fairly rare.

According to Allen Meadows in T h e Pearl of the Côte, in the past wine produced from Les Gaudichots was often labelled as Tache, Tâche-Romanée, Tâche-Gaudichots and even La Tâche, while the sale of some of its parcels were also referenced as La Tâche, though not coming from the actual La Tâche vineyard. This led to an eventual renaming to “Les Gaudichots ou La Tâche” in the first half of the 20th century. Today, both parcels combine to create this extraordinary wine. La Tâche is the Domaine’s largest production.

Richebourg R

ichebou rg is on e of those v i n eya r ds a longside Musigny that is amongst the most cited for being the most sensual, perfumed, intense, desired. Even its name, which

rolls off the tongue like velvet, evokes something of beauty and luxury - like a Rodin sculpture or Titian’s rendition of “Venus of Urbino”.

Th e s e c o l l e c t o r s a r e n o t m i s t a k e n e i t h e r f o r e v e n Allen Meadows, Burgundy’s most revered critic, declared in his book, The Pearl of the Côte, “Richebourg conveys every aspect of a great Burgundy: a soaring and decadently spicy nose, seductive richness, power and energy, all wrapped in a mouth coating, velvety and mineraldriven finish that knows no boundaries.” And “Yes, Richebourg can be as dramatic as Romanée-Conti when it finally matures.”

It is not t h e on ly con n ect ion t h at R ich ebou rg h as to Romanée-Conti. Parcels within the two vineyards were the last to be replanted by the domaine in 1946 following the 19th century

until (and including) 1945 and were labelled as “Vigne Originelle Française Non Reconstituée” or “Richebourgs Vieux Cépage” [sic]. Needless to say, these pre-phylloxera bottlings embody another level of density and complexity and are incredibly rare…and dear.

Th e r e i s n o d o u b t t h a t D o m a i n e d e l a R o m a n é e - C o n t i ’s Richebourg is a stupendous, soul stirring wine. It was the wine with which I was fortunate enough to celebrate the achievement of my Master of Wine. Silky, nuanced, complex and perfumed, it was everything.

v i n eya r d of m a n y voices, Éch éze au x h a s t h e most climats of any grand cru in Vosne-Romanée and only ranks second to Clos de Vougeot in the Côte de

Nuits in size. A notable 11 lieux-dits reside within the Échézeaux appellation and as a result its incarnation could have a number of personalities depending on the quality of its terroir. The finest, though, tend to offer an appealing gentleness, freshness, refinement and subdued complexity – a harmonious completeness in itself.

Th e É c h é z e a u x a t D o m a i n e d e l a R o m a n é e - C o n t i o n l y comes from 2 of these climats – Les Poulaillères, the largest of the climats which produces 90 % of their Échézeaux, followed by Clos Saint-Dénis, the second smallest parcel amongst the climats. These soils are more upslope and less shallow than neighbouring Grands Échézeaux, and according to Aubert de Villaine, one can walk in the vineyard in slippers several hours after a rainstorm!

Dom a i n e de l a Rom a n ée-Con t i is t h e l a rgest v i n eya r d owner amongst 84 in total, making this vineyard along with Clos de Vougeot, the most owned grand cru in the Côte de Nuits. R o b i n K i c k , M .W.

Montrachet S

m a l l enough to be consider ed Dom a in e de l a Romanée-Conti’s unicorn wine (only 2000 – 4000 bottles produced annually), but perhaps not a unicorn amongst

unicorns. In this latter case, it is its Bâtard-Montrachet that is its true rarity, where a mere 0.13 ha is used to produce a “house” wine for entertaining purposes. Nevertheless, it is its Montrachet that has garnished the reputation as the greatest white wine in the world. Even the rarer Bâtard might be jealous.

Th e v i n e y a r d i t s e l f h a s l o n g b e e n k n o w n t o p r o d u c e exceptional wine with prices to reflect its quality. Jasper Morris MW states in Inside Burgundy that Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd American president and keen oenophile, wrote in a journal that Montrachet was worth 8 times the amount of Meursault 1er Cru La Goutte d’Or. La plus ça change, la plus c’est la même chose.

D o m a i n e d e l a R o m a n é e - C o n t i ’s 1 9 7 0 wa s t h e f i r s t vintage that I ever tried, and though it was from just an average vintage, I understood why Alexandre Dumas called Montrachet, a wine to drink "on bended knee, with head bared." It was transcendental, unlike any other white Burgundy that I had had at the time.

Du e to i ts sm a l l product ion, i t is not a w i n e e asy to taste or even buy. So those few bottles that are released onto the market are like liquid gold.

Armand’s son Charles created their extensive export ties, and by the 1970s their wines were found as far as Australia, New Zealand, the Far East and Brazil – an incredible network for a Burgundy estate at the time. His work was further extended by his son, Eric and Eric’s daughter Cyrielle will no doubt add her own contributions to this exceptional domaine as well.

Château Ausone A

uson e sits i n proba bly t he best posit ion i n all of the Right Bank. Located at the end of a slinky steep road and perched atop St. Emilion’s Roman ruins

and famed limestone cliffs with beautiful vistas overlooking the 11th

century village, one feels on top of the world, yet gently protected. There is a sense that life is calmer, slower and more genteel here, quite different from the hustle and bustle of village activities below.

It is on e of the few gr a n d properties i n Bor de au x which is still owned and run by one family, the Vaultiers. Even rarer, they are only the 3 rd family to own this incredible estate since its creation.

I n m a n y r e s p e c t s , i t i s r e m i n i s c e n t o f a t o p B u rg u n di a n estate in the continuity of its ownership and to a lesser degree, its limestone and clay-based soil, which is the envy of wine producers across the entire Bordeaux region. Its website, well, it just doesn’t exist – at least not at the time of this writing. There is no pomp or pageantry, just a selection of incredible wines from their entry-level St. Emilions to their Grand Vin, Château Ausone.

Du e to t h e ch a r act er ist ics of t h ei r soi l a n d t h ei r meticulous winemaking, Château Ausone’s Grand Vin displays notable minerality and purity and is one of the most ethereal wines of the region, despite embodying notable power and intensity. While the quality of their wines has reached even higher plateaus since the 1990s, their rare, older bottles, tell another side to Ausone’s history and character – one of gentle enchantment and charm.

Ullage refers to the space between the base of the cork and the wine itself. Acceptable ullage levels tend to increase with age. When speaking of Burgundy wines, commonly

• Bottle : 75 cl.

acceptable levels are as follows :

• Magnum : 150 cl.

• Under 15 years old – less than 4cms

• Double-magnum : 300 cl.

• 15 to 30 years old – up to 5cms

• Other formats : capacity indicated in the notice.

• Over 30 years old – up to 6cms It should be noted that ullages may change between publication of the catalogue and the sale. This may be caused by the ageing of the cork or by a change in the temperature of the storage conditions or the shipment of the wine. We will only accept responsibility for descriptions of conditions at the time of print of this catalogue and cannot accept responsibility for any loss resulting from failure of corks either before or after this point.

PARCEL S

Same wines (producers, appellation, vintage, etc.) may be regarded as part of a parcel. The successful bidder on a lot in a parcel has the possibility to purchase each of the remaining unsold lots in this parcel at the same price, at the time of the bidding. Note that, in this catalog, a parcel notice indicates all the numbers of its constitutive lots on its heading line.
