1 AWARD WINNING RESTAURANT WITH AWARD WINNING WINES (LOTS 1-73) This next offering comes to us from a California award winning restaurant. It is always a pleasure to be able to work with restaurants that are trying to make room within their cellar, especially ones with an outstanding wine list like our next consignor. They have carefully crafted their collection to highlight and showcase some of the most sought-after wines from some of the greatest regions. From Burgundy we see some Richebourg and Echézeaux DRC 6L s; being featured from Bordeaux there is Latour, Haut-Brion, and Lafite Rothschild. However, being so close to Napa there is a strong showing of the California Cult Cabs such as: Colgin, Schrader, and Screaming Eagle. Maintaining pristine conditions on these wines are of the upmost importance to this curator, and they are all restaurant floor ready! BORDEAUX Château Latour 1959 Pauillac, Premier Cru Classé mid shoulder, importer tag adhered to lightly torn and heavily bin-soiled label, oxidized capsule, signs of old seepage "Very expressive and nuanced. Slightly more complex than the 1961 in the nuances on the nose and the palate, but without the same heft and weight as the This is a spectacular bottle and it is more just a question of personal preference whether you prefer the 1961 over this..." SF. 1 1 magnum (1.5L) per lot US$ Château Latour 1994 Pauillac, Premier Cru Classé one bin-soiled label, two lightly scuffed labels "...a superbly rich, concentrated, full-bodied Latour with remarkable intensity...this wine will shock many tasters who have not given the 1994 vintage much consideration...95." WA 4/ bottles per lot US$ Château Lafite Rothschild 1961 Pauillac, Premier Cru Classé upper-mid shoulder, heavily damp-stained and lightly torn label, oxidized capsule, signs of old seepage "...many 5-star notes - gentle, spicy, silky tannins, a certain delicacy and always great length...it had the sweetness of fully ripe grapes and alcohol, a mouthfilling flavour, very good tannins and acidity. Complete...HHHHH." MB 5/ magnum (1.5L) per lot US$ Château Latour 1961 Pauillac, Premier Cru Classé upper-mid shoulder, wine-stained and lightly torn label, lightly corroded and short capsule reveals Château branded cork "Very robust and impressive wine...long finish, great balance, still fresh and again does not seem like it has the age on it that it does..."

2 BURGUNDY DOMAINE DE LA ROMANÉE-CONTI The domaine is known for picking very late, sometimes, as in 1978, later than any other producers. They prune endlessly, make many passes through the vineyards at harvest and sort grapes rigorously both in the vineyard and at the winery. Average age of the vines is around thirty-five to forty-five years with yields typically around thirty hl/ha. The wines are aged in new French oak casks for approximately twenty months. There is usually only one racking and since 1985 the wines from all casks in each cru have been blended together prior to bottling to reduce bottle variation. Recently they have been moving towards biodynamic viticultural practices. Like many of the region s leading growers they have seen concrete evidence of soil and vine health improvement. It s hard to imagine that these wines could get better, but that is what separates them from the rest of the pack: an unrelenting pursuit for perfection in the Pinot Noir grape. In addition to the majestic reds, a white is also produced from a plot in Montrachet.

19 CONCISE COLLECTION OF CLASSICS (LOTS ) This consignor and his son have been collecting mostly Old World classics and benchmark wines at a high level for over thirty years. The overwhelming percentage of the cellar was purchased as futures or original releases from top East Coast retailers in the 90s. Their passive underground home cellar was designed for long term storage, so all the bottles have been able to rest undisturbed. Over the last decade, they have further refined their collecting, thus we are able to present a portion of their treasures here today.

20 A STUNNING OFFERING OF LEROY AND D AUVENAY (LOTS ) The wines of Domaines Leroy and d Auvenay (also run by Madame Leroy) are rare and rightly so they re elegant, shining examples of their individual terroirs. It takes a collector with a precise eye to put together a consignment such as this one, featuring Grands and Premiers Crus from the first lady of Burgundy. Zachys was fortunate to drink two 2006s from this collection with the consignor: a village level Nuits St Georges and a Les Boudots. It s rare that Burgundy behaves so well: both wines were excellent, fragrant, persistent, but the Les Boudots had that extra level of depth one would expect. Purchased on release from the importer. BURGUNDY DOMAINE LEROY How do you determine great? Is it size? Is it quality? Is it price? Is it reputation (whatever that is)? Is it the amount of media coverage? However you do compute it, the greatest domaines of Burgundy today must be those under the control of Lalou Bize: the Domaine Leroy and her own Domaine d Auvenay. The estates of Jadot, Faiveley and Bouchard Père et Fils are far larger, that of Romanée-Conti the most splendid in terms of the percentage of Grand Cru terroir, but for the nobility of its wines, pride of place must go to Leroy and to Domaine d Auvenay. The sheer concentration, depth and intensity Lalou Bize manages to squeeze into her bottles is breathtaking. Lalou, born in Paris, was brought up in Meursault, in the mansion today occupied by her daughter Perrine. From the word go I was fascinated, she says. I was a cellar rat, watching and helping the cavistes rack the wines, taste them, bottle them. My mother kept calling me to come out of the cellar and play with my friends like a normal schoolgirl, but as soon as I could I crept back. In 1955 she persuaded her father to let her take over. She was twenty-three. He gave me carte blanche, she says. I started as I meant to go on. I bought finished wine, and only that which pleased me. Lalou is now happy at the Domaine Leroy and on her own. Look at my vines, she will say. Look how healthy and comfortable they are. And, being Lalou, she will not fail to point out a neighbor s plot of excessively abundant, uncontrolled growth. And come and taste the wine. Lalou s wines, according to her, are always extra. The one-time cellar rat is now a master in her own right, and the wines she produces are triumphantly brilliant.

It began rather meagerly with just a hectare of vines in the 1920s (according to Remington Norman, though I have seen figures of an initial three hectares elsewhere), but had grown to the six hectares by the last 1940s, when Jean- Marie Ponsot began to work with his father, Hippolyte Ponsot. Jean-Marie succeeded to full control of the domaine in 1957, and his son, Laurent, (the current head of the family domaine) made his first vintage in Today the domaine is just short of nine hectares, with more than a third of it in Clos de la Roche, of which the Ponsots are the largest landholders. In addition to the family s own vines, the Ponsots had over the years entered into a number of different metayage (sharecropping) agreements, which brought vines under their control in crus such as Latricières- Chambertin, Griottes-Chambertin, Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes, as well as a bit more Clos de la Roche and Clos St Denis to augment their own holdings. For years the domaine s wines were reputed to be very inconsistent from vintage to vintage, with their successes amongst the very greatest wines of any given vintage, but the less successful vintages relative failures. Much of this has been attributed to the propensity of both Jean-Marie and Laurent Ponsot to harvest very late, shooting for maximum ripeness to add a powerful dimension to their wines. When this methodology worked, as in vintages such as 1980, 1985, 1989, 1990 or 1991, the Ponsot wines were monumental blockbusters, thick with lush, creamy old vine fruit, strongly marked by their respective terroirs and very complex. In the homerun vintages, Ponsot wines are rich, bordering on syrupy (as they have such voluptuous fruit), but with excellent structural elements and fine focuses as well. John Gilman, View From the Cellar Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes Domaine Ponsot 2002 "There is even more aromatic complexity with similar and brilliant red and black fruit notes though not the spice with superbly sappy, concentrated and very pure flavors that display flat out incredible length and impeccable balance...93."

34 ARMAND ROUSSEAU One will get little argument to the assertion that Domaine Armand Rousseau is the finest estate in Gevrey- Chambertin... The vintages of the 1980s and 1990s at Domaine Rousseau have produced one of the greatest runs of profound Burgundy ever witnessed by any estate in the region, with the domaine producing legendary efforts in the widely recognized great years of the span from 1985 to Their two flagship bottlings of Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze have always ranked amongst the top dozen wines to be found in these vintages. Of the two Grand Crus at the pinnacle of the brilliant portfolio of Rousseau wines, the Chambertin Clos de Bèze tends to be the more exotic and spicy of the two wines, with glorious fruit tones of black cherry, plum, blood orange often augmented by notes of Gevrey s grilled meat, chocolate and exotic spices. The Chambertin is typically the slightly slower wine to unfold, with a more understated profile of plum, red cherry and strawberry, coupled with notes of cocoa powder, coffee, grilled meats and violets impeccably balanced, tangy and never come across as over-oaked. They are amongst the very greatest red wines to be found in the world.

These include just under two full hectares in Chevalier-Montrachet, an equal slice in Bâtard- Montrachet, a bit more than a hectare in Bienvenues- Bâtard-Montrachet (out of a total of 2.3 hectares), just over three hectares in the beautiful Premier Cru of Pucelles, three-quarters of a hectare in Combettes, 1.27 hectares in Folatières, and nearly five hectares in Premier Cru Clavoillon. In 1991, the topping on the cake was added when the domaine purchased a very small,.08 hectare slice of Le Montrachet itself.

51 CLASSIC FIRST GROWTH BORDEAUX from the GREATEST VINTAGES (LOTS ) The rare First Growth Bordeaux offered below are the property of a great connoisseur and major collector of European wine. They were carefully purchased at auction over the last ten years. The decade of the 1920s produced more great vintages than any until the 1980s. There are several examples including the legendary Haut-Brion 1926 which Douglas Dillon considered his favorite wine. The 1940s are highlighted by the 1949 Mouton Rothschild, Baron Philippe de Rothschild s favorite Mouton. Bidders should be reminded that a mid-shoulder level for a Bordeaux from the 1920s is now considered good for age if the bottles have not been recorked. 62 ZACHYS tel fax bid@zachys.com zachys.com

66 JF MUGNIER For such an important domaine, which in addition to its 1.37 hectares of vines in Musigny proper, also possesses significant holdings in Bonnes-Mares, Chambolle-Musigny Premiers Crus Les Amoureuses and Les Fuées, as well as a monopole on the fine Nuits St Georges Premier Cru of the Clos de la Maréchale Jacques-Frédéric s great-greatgrandfather, Frédéric Mugnier, had been a merchant of spirits in Dijon in the middle of the nineteenth century, and as his business in Dijon prospered, he was able to buy his parcels of vines in Chambolle-Musigny and Nuits St Georges during the nadir in fortunes of the area brought about by the phylloxera epidemic. The Mugniers added to their vineyard holdings in the area when they bought the Château de Chambolle-Musigny in 1889 (also from the Marey- Monge family), though the house was used primarily as an occasional retreat from the city for the family for many, many years to come, with no one from the Mugnier family settling down in Chambolle until today s proprietor, Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier returned to Chambolle from overseas in As he relates, my family were people from the city so it is not surprising that I am the first one to live permanently in this house. During the 1920s, the family business was run by five grandsons of Frédéric Mugnier (who had passed away in 1911), with James Mugnier officially in charge of the wine side of the business and the vineyards. Of these five grandsons, only one, Jacques Mugnier, ever married and had children, and it is from this grandson of Frédéric Mugnier that today s proprietor, Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier is related. Making wines of purity and grace, JF Mugnier is surely one of the most sought after producers in all of Burgundy.

69 GEORGES ROUMIER The domaine was enlarged a number of times since its inception in 1924, with Georges acquiring a bit more Bonnes-Mares in 1952, as well as two parcels of Clos Vougeot in the same year. In 1953 the Roumiers also purchased the monopole Premier Cru Morey St Denis Clos de la Bussierre. In 1968, Jean-Marie s wife, Odile Ponnelle, purchased a tract of unplanted Corton- Charlemagne, which was subsequently committed to vine and the first Roumier Corton-Charlemagne was released in the 1974 vintage. In 1978 the domaine finally purchased the small slice of Musigny that they had been sharecropping since the mid-1920s. Domaine Georges Roumier is one of my favorite domaines in all of the Côte d Or. In my personal cellar, by quite some margin, I have more Roumier wines than from any other producer. I find them to be extremely reliable for cellaring, and to deliver at their apogees all the majestic complexity for which Burgundy is rightly renowned. Out of the blocks they are not the typically delicate style of Chambolle, but rather wines that are full and wellstructured in their youth. For young Chambolles they are atypical, but within the fullness of time, they develop all the silk and perfume for which the wines of this village are so rightly cherished. From the superbly crafted Chambolle-Musigny village bottling that I buy in depth in every vintage to the lonely bottle of Roumier Musigny, these are among the greatest wines that I have in my cellar, and bottles that I look forward to growing old with comfortably.

73 COCHE-DURY Jean-François Coche s name is now murmured with the same respectful awe that is reserved for Henri Jayer. In many ways, he wears a mantle in the pantheon of white Burgundy winemakers that Monsieur Jayer wears amongst the red winemakers. From three-starred Michelin restaurants to the auction floors of New York and London, it is the white wines of Monsieur Coche that are the most ardently sought after. For those Burgundy lovers lucky and clever enough to secure bottles of Coche-Dury wines, the treasures that they are able to lock away in their cellars are a fine hedge against the vagaries of growing old. The white Burgundy crown that rests so easily on the head of Jean-François Coche is a rather remarkable achievement, when one pauses to consider his rather meager vineyard holdings versus the scores of white wine-producing domaines whose holdings are chock full of Grand Crus and illustrious Premier Crus. The two crown jewels amongst the white wines in the Coche cellar are the Meursault Perrières and the Corton- Charlemagne. The Corton-Charlemagne s first release was the 1986 vintage, and it is as fine a bottle of Corton Charlie as one can ever hope to find. It is very slow to unfold, and in any top vintage requires a minimum of ten years of bottle age to really blossom and begin to drink well. The Coche-Dury Meursault Perrières is the other twin titan in the cellar. Many Burgundy lovers, often over a glass of inspired Côte d Or rouge or blanc, like to banter about which vineyards are worthy of promotion in the appellation controlée system if the French were ever to open up the Pandora s Box or reclassification. Almost universally, the vineyard of Meursault Perrières is mentioned as clearly worthy of Grand Cru status. If one were to choose and example of why this is the case, one could do no better than a bottle of Coche-Dury Meursault Perrières. This is a complete wine that quite easily rivals the quality of the Corton-Charlemagne in the cellar. In some vintages the Corton looks to be the better of the two, sometimes the Meursault Perrières. But in virtually every vintage the Meursault Perrières is a long-lived wine of uncompromising brilliance, and well worth the price of admission. There are not many Bâtard-Montrachets or Chevalier-Montrachets that I would trade even up for a bottle of Coche-Dury Meursault Perrières.

79 DOMAINE RAMONET Pierre Ramonet was more than a character. He was, to use the old cliché but it is true in this instance a legend in his own lifetime. More or less from scratch, by dint of sheer hard work and a genius for wine, he built up one of the finest white wine domaines in Burgundy. Today the name of Ramonet is synonymous with top Chardonnay. The allocations for bottles are fought over, for every collector considers it his or her right to own some. They sell at auction for astronomical sums whenever they appear. On the rare occasions, as in January 1995 at the Montrachet restaurant in New York, when someone puts on a special vertical tasting and dinner, the tickets and they are not cheap are over-subscribed ten times. Ramonet in white is the equivalent of Henri Jayer or the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti in red. Pierre Ramonet died in 1994 at the age of eighty-eight. He is much missed. But his echo lives on, and the wines, in the able hands of his grandsons Noël (born in 1962) and Jean-Claude (born in 1967) since the 1984 vintage (mais sous ses ordres, stoutly avers Noël), continue his reputation. They are very fine. A Ramonet wine is a Ramonet wine before it is a Chassagne, or a Bienvenues, or a Bâtard or a Montrachet. Clive Coates, MW, Côte d Or" Montrachet Domaine Ramonet cm, lightly scuffed label, lightly torn capsule "...big, rich, deep and strikingly complex big-bodied flavors that still have the intensity and power to both stain and coat the palate on the sappy, delicious and gorgeously long finish...a great debut to one of the most storied white wines in Burgundy...98."

83 KRUG Of all the wine world s luxury brands, Krug is perhaps the most glittering. No expense is spared in its production, though the techniques used are in fact remarkably artisanal, including fermentation in small, old wooden casks. Time is of the essence: the overall ageing cycle is the best part of a decade here, with all wines being aged for at least six years sur pointes (upended, after the ordinary ageing period that follows the second fermentation is concluded). No expense is spared, either, in the pricing of its five wines, the cheapest of which, Grande Cuvée, costs as much as many rival houses top Cuvées. This is a wine of magnificent complexity and layered richness, nourishing and diverting, as detailed and textured as a Gobelin tapestry. It contains wines from a decade s worth of vintages and from at least twenty different crus (not all of them Grand or even Premier, one might note); Krug makes no secret, too, of its need and love for Pinot Meunier. (The Krug 1928 vintage, regarded by the family as the greatest ever, contained twenty percent Meunier, and there is eighteen percent in the finely honed 1988.) There is also a relatively understated rose of pale tawny hue, and a series of vintage wines of magnificent stylistic oscillation, fully respecting the potential of each year. The Collection vintage wines have spent more years in the Krug cellars in Reims; disgorgement took place at the same time as for ordinary vintage wines. Finally, a champagne de terroir: the pure Chardonnay Clos du Mesnil, vinified from wines in a genuine 1.9 hectares walled vineyard within the village of Le Mesnil, purchased by Krug in 1971, and released as a vintage wine beginning with In great years (like 1988) it is magnificent and multi-dimensioned.

87 BORDEAUX PÉTRUS Pétrus today is a little over eleven hectares, including five hectares purchased in 1969 from neighboring Château Gazin. The vineyards have clay topsoil and gravelly subsoil, allowing good initial water retention but excellent longer term drainage. The vines are old, around forty to fifty years, planted with ninety percent Merlot and five percent Cabernet Franc. To increase concentration the vines are pruned extensively and a green harvest is performed. At harvest time, nearly two hundred workers pick the grapes at their peak of balance and ripeness. Sometimes up to four passes are needed but if pressed, as in 1982, the entire harvest can be completed in just one day. The grapes are partially destemmed and after a fairly lengthy maceration period, sometimes almost a month, the wine spends twenty months in new oak before being fined (but not filtered) and bottled. Pétrus is a classic example of careful vineyard management and winemaking yet the result leaves evidence of something even greater. These methods combine with exquisite terroir for Merlot to create something that is, in good vintages, not only earthshatteringly tasty, but distinctive, lending the name Pétrus majesty because of its quality but also its inimitability.

114 THE BEAUTY OF BURGUNDY (LOTS ) As argued by many winemakers, Pinot Noir is the one of the most difficult grapes to cultivate, and one of the most difficult wines to vinify. For centuries, Burgundy has been at the forefront of this cultivar s production; mastering the art of growing and creating wines so superb that few have been able to breach the quality of wines that this region puts out. This collector was able to see this artistry and has curated an amazing cellar giving us a glimpse of the fine wines to come from this region. With a multitude of highlights from this collector it is hard to choose the shining stars. Some of the most celebrated Burgundy houses are seen within this offering such as La Tâche with vintages such as 1993, 1996, 2007 & Romanée-Conti bringing in the 1998, 2003, and Large formats are significant here, too. Magnums of DRC are always a rare treat, but to have magnums of La Tâche, 1996 Grands Echézeaux, La Tâche and Richebourg in a single consignment is nearly unheard of. And don t forget the Montrachet! Other top producers make an appearance to. Henri Jayer, including his legendary Cros Parantoux from 1996 and 1999, magnums of Roumier s Bonnes-Mares, not to mention Musigny, de Vogüé and Ponsot. The whites are just as strong with numerous lots of Ramonet s Montrachet arguably the greatest white in the world as well as a huge selection of Leflaive. In short, the greatest whites in the region are covered. All wines were stored in professional wine storage in the New York metro area prior to removal for this auction.

127 HENRI JAYER It is interesting to reflect upon the fact that in many ways Henri Jayer is portrayed as a modernizer in Burgundy, as many of the techniques that he pioneered in the region have been embraced by legions of vignerons, but in many respects he represented a return to a very traditional approach to winemaking. His emphasis on viticultural practices and the meticulous care that he gave to his vineyards are simply the most obvious facets of his traditional methodology. Henri Jayer revolutionized winemaking during the course of his career. Amongst his very many accomplishments was his emphasis on limiting yields in the vineyard, allowing the cooled must to macerate for a few days prior to the onset of alcoholic fermentation to allow colors to set and adding to the aromatic complexity in the finished wine and bottling the wine unfined and unfiltered. He always spoke of the importance of treating the wine gently during the fermentation and elevage process, which he likened to moving a sleeping baby who must be carried to its bed from the sofa upon which it has fallen asleep. He also was a proponent of one hundred percent new oak for his wines. This was the one precept of his winemaking technique that cannot be described as traditional, and it is the one most often cited by modern winemakers when they seek to sprinkle a little of the fairy dust of Jayer inspiration on their own wines. There is little doubt that the concept that a Grand Cru deserves to be raised in one hundred percent new oak that is often heard in Burgundy these days can be traced back to Henri Jayer and his success with new wood. However, one of the interesting things I have always found about Henri Jayer s wines was that I have never tasted one that was over-oaked.

151 SPANISH SHOWSTOPPERS (LOTS ) Zachys is thrilled to once again offer a portion of this collection. Almost entirely acquired on release, direct from the estates; to look back on the records of these bottles is to look directly into history. Decades of Único, rarities from vintages such as 1947, as well as 1974 and 1976 in Mags! Stored in perfect, temperature and humidity-controlled conditions, bid with absolute confidence on this spectacular offering. SPAIN VEGA SICILIA Vega Sicilia, often called the Lafite of Spain for its elegance, is among the oldest extant wineries in Spain and remains among its most celebrated. Toribio Lecanda purchased 2,000 acres of farmland from the Marquis de Valbuena in 1848, but it was not until 1864 that his son, Eloy, began to convert it to viticulture by planting Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Pinot Noir. Originally, he made brandy, and even before it was a winery Vega Sicilia was appointed to be the brandy supplier to the royal family of Spain. Vega Sicilia Único ( unique ) and Valbuena both date from 1915, when the vineyards had recovered sufficiently from phylloxera to permit great wine to be made. Único, made only in outstanding years, is typically mostly Tempranillo, with the balance Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot. It spends at least seven years in barrel, and at least three in bottle, before release, and in some vintages, it is aged for astonishingly long periods before it reaches the market. The 1970, for example, was not released until 1995, and magnums did not follow until 2000! The wine lives up to its designation as unique. It is intensely fragrant, complex on the palate but also extremely concentrated, with very high acidity to balance the richness. Occasionally, the winery will release a small quantity of wine designated Reserva Especial, a blend of two or three Únicos; these bottlings are generally considered to be of the same high quality as the single vintage releases.

154 MADEIRA I know of no wine of its class that can beat Madeira when at its best In fact, I think Madeira and Burgundy carry combined intensity and complexity of vinous delights further than any other wine. This note was penned by George Saintsbury over a hundred years ago and is the opening line in the intensive study of the wine region of Madeira, entitled Madeira, by Alex Liddell. Though this delectable elixir fell out of favor almost altogether in the twentieth century, the wine market has turned and a wave of distinguished connoisseurs has once again fallen in love with the beauty that is Madeira wine. Over the past couple of years I have developed my own passion for Madeira. The sheer variations of form, vintage and varietal as well as intricacies of aromatics, flavor and verve found in each glass have brought countless smiles to my face. In May 2008, I crossed the Atlantic to the cliff-lined coast of this small, rocky, steeply terraced island and became even more enamored with the wine as well as the fresh seafood and gracious winemakers who hosted some of the most extraordinary tastings I have ever experienced. The classical varietals of Madeira listed in order of driest to sweetest are Sercial, Verdelho, Boal and Malvasia (Malmsey). You may also find Terrantez and the nearly extinct Bastardo (of which D Oliveiras has stock of the 1927). Madeira traditionally is made by arresting the fermentation by fortifying the wine with ninety-six percent alcohol spirit and (with the exception of the austerely dry Sercial) leaving gradations of the fruit s sweetness. For vintage Madeira, the wine is then heated naturally in cask (large or small) in a warm area of the winery and allowed to age for an extended period of time. The gradual oxidation and evaporation achieved through the oak ageing and slow, constant heating of the wine allow the sugar, alcohol and dry extract in the wine to concentrate and maderized (burnt/oxidized) notes to evolve. After decades upon decades or even more than a century of time in barrel, the winemaker will then either move the Madeira into large glass bottles (demijohns) or bottle directly to halt the evolution and evaporation of the wine, once he feels it has reached perfection. The huge investment in time and care on the part of the winery produce a bottle that can then stand another lifetime of drinkability, truly a testament to one of the world s most brilliant wines. What is more, I doubt another type of vinous pleasure could be named that one could open tonight as an aperitif or for dessert and then come back to years later for another glass and find that same bottle completely sound! This makes vintage Madeira truly one of the most pleasurable and enduring wine investments on the market today The crowned king of vintage Madeira in my opinion, D Oliveiras, so named because no other house has the array of vintage stock in their possession, was randomly but appropriately the finale of my tastings on the island. There were so many celestial pours that I can truly say that I have never been taken by so many wines in one sitting in my life. In my note on the Sercial 1875, I wrote I have never had such a wild experience the wine is wild and erotic on the palate with such intense acidity and austerity that I now have zero saliva left GREAT! This was due to the slight sense of sweetness on the nose with intense concentration of caramel salty nuts and a hint of patisserie; ridiculous acidity ethereal blossoming notes, bright and wild on the palate followed by smoked cigar box. To highlight just one more, though I could go on and on, the Verdelho 1890 was outstanding with spectacular complexity. Exceptionally strong, musky aromatics with perfumed, almost concentrated, extract and molasses on the amazingly vibrant nose it was so unexpected. Juicy dried orange and lemon zest notes were followed by a rather dry finish that did not stop. The wine was a powerhouse with dazzling vibrancy. I left the island wishing I had more time to spend, yet knowing that I would be back. The following lots offer a sampling the wonders that I experienced and I encourage you to explore these incredible rarities.

The famous Pontac family set up the estate in the first portion of the sixteenth century. Wealthy and well connected, they had the means to promote the wine in fashionable places, and by the early 1700s it was as well known as a wine of the highest quality. While parts were split off, the estate stayed with the family until it was passed to Joseph Fumel in He was largely responsible for creating much of what we see today, including the buildings, the gardens and the general layout of the property. He famously hosted a visit from Thomas Jefferson on May 25, 1787, and became Mayor of Bordeaux three years later. With its popularity waning under a succession of different owners, the estate was finally put up for auction in 1836, where it was purchased by the Larreau family. Two years later, in 1838, they managed to acquire a further piece of the estate previously lost through inheritance laws. Although it was included as a First Growth in the 1855 classification of Bordeaux, difficult times lay ahead. A further succession of owners and the depression of the early 1930s forced another sale. This time, successful American financier Clarence Dillon stepped up, and for a little under $200,000 walked away with the estate. It remains in the Dillon family today. Vineyards, Winemaking and the Delmas Family No discussion of the wines of Haut-Brion can be complete without a mention of the Delmas family, who have managed the property since 1923 first George Delmas, then his son Jean-Bernard, and today Jean-Philippe. It is not only unusual but also massively fortunate for Haut- Brion to have the care and attention of such a talented family of technical directors. Jean-Philippe Delmas is a clever, tirelessly devoted man, and the solid support and financial backing of the Dillon family has enabled him and his team to produce an extremely consistent wine. I always look forward to visiting Château Haut-Brion, not just because the wines are superb and the people great, but also because it is unique and has an important place in the history of Bordeaux.

From their very first book, published in 1845, Cocks & Feret have listed Lafite first, and it was ranked first in the famous 1855 classification of Bordeaux. Fite is an old French term meaning small hill, rise or mound; it is from this humble feature in Bordeaux somewhat bland landscape that France s most esteemed producer takes its name. The château itself is one of the oldest in Bordeaux, with much of it dating from the mid-sixteenth century. It was purchased by the wealthy Ségur family in the seventeenth century, but like much of the region at the time, the land was used for a variety of farming. Beginning in the 1670s, the Ségurs spent around twenty years converting a large portion of the land to vineyards. With Latour and Calon, as well as Lafite, under their ownership, the Ségurs began to find a market for their wines in London. It was first mentioned in the London Gazette in 1707 and soon became famous: by the early 1730s, it was a favorite of the Prime Minister, Robert Walpole. Lafite remained in the Ségur family until It was sold several times, finally to Baron de Rothschild in 1868, by which time there were some seventy-four hectares of vines. It was a new era of industrial wealth and the Rothschild purchase certainly added much celebrity to the area.

171 CHÂTEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD Mouton, like much of Pauillac in the sixteenth century, was part of the sprawling Ségur estate. In the mideighteenth century the land that is now Mouton Rothschild was acquired by Baron de Brane, who changed the name to Brane-Mouton. Brane sold it in 1830 to an M Thuret; while it was already a notable Château, first appearing in a Christie s catalog in 1834, Thuret did not make maintenance of the Château a priority and resold it in The purchaser was Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild, at the time head of the English arm of the wealthy Rothschild family. While Mouton was always a highly regarded wine, a big change came when in 1922, when the twenty-oneyear-old Baron Philippe decided to run the Château fulltime. An innovator from the start of his tenure, in 1924 he decided that in order to guarantee quality the entire production would be bottled at the Château, and from 1934 he numbered each bottle released. Also, of course, he started the tradition of works of art on Mouton labels, featuring the famous Carlu ram s head from 1924 to 1926, and since a hiatus from then until 1945, each label has either been designed by a major artist or featured a tribute to a significant event in the Château s history. Perhaps his most significant achievement was persuading the French Minister for Agriculture, Jacques Chirac, that Mouton was and had always been a First Growth that had been wrongly classified. So, in 1973, for the first and only time, a revised edition of the 1855 classification was released with Mouton finally ranked, next to its Pauillac neighbors Lafite and Latour, as a First Growth. Château Mouton Rothschild 1986 Pauillac, Premier Cru Classé includes 12-pack two very top shoulder, three top shoulder, one with signs of old seepage "It boasts a full body of ultra richness, extraordinary length and beauty and an almost chiseled precision to the quality with fabulous length.

175 CHÂTEAU COS D ESTOURNEL Château Cos d Estournel is regarded by many as the finest wine within the northern commune of Saint Estèphe and is certainly an aesthete s delight. Driving past the stately Château Lafite Rothschild with its manicured gardens and willow-trees billowing in the wind, you enter a rollercoaster dip which ascends towards a building that appears to have been designed on LSD with its Chinese pagodas and menagerie of creatures: lions, elephants and unicorns sculpted in sandstone that radiates at sunset. Even the large main door is ornately carved with exotic flora and fauna. What is surprising is that this is not even a place of residence: but simply one of the most outrageously decadent chai in the world. History The history of Château Cos d Estournel is one of the most colourful in Bordeaux and is associated with iconic figures of the nineteenth century. The word Cos derives from Gascogne tongue, meaning hill of pebbles whilst its appendage is down to Louis- Gaspard d Estournel who was born in 1753 and lived to the ripe old age of ninety-one, passing away just two years before his beloved estate was classified as a Second Growth, along with Château Montrose. Louis Gaspard had a penchant for acquiring land, inheriting his first parcel at the tender age of twenty-nine and having acquired a parcel of vines near the village of Cos, he recognized that the terroir was similar to that of Lafite and immediately resolved to create a wine of equal stature. Between 1821 and 1857 he expanded the vineyard piecemeal from twelve to fifty-seven hectares including the best parcel of vines from the neighbouring Château Cos Labory, eventually owning the whole hill.

179 CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE LAS CASES The château gets its name from the Marquis de Las-Cases Beauvoice who, upon the dividing up of the vast Léoville estate, ended with the largest portion. Hugh Barton bought a quarter, Baron Poyferré (a relative) ended up with another quarter, and the remaining half went to the Marquis. As debt accumulated during the earlier part of the twentieth century, the estate was gradually acquired by its then manager, Theophile Skavinski. Jean-Hubert Delon, the estate s present owner, is one of his descendents. The Wine Although there are nearly 100 hectares under vine here, it is the fifty-three hectares of Grand Clos with that famous wall and arched entrance that is the primary source of fruit for the grand vin. The vines are planted to seventy percent Cabernet Sauvignon, seventeen percent Merlot and thirteen percent Cabernet Franc. Ageing is in sixty-five percent new oak barriques for fifteen to eighteen months, which just goes to show you don t need three and a half years in 100 percent new oak to make great wine. The second wine, Clos du Marquis, was one of Bordeaux first when the 1902 vintage debuted. These are serious wines, as good as any in the Médoc and in many years outperforming its second growth status. This estate could be called the Latour of St Julien, which is actually not very far from the truth as it does reside right next door to the First Growth!

182 CHÂTEAU PAVIE In March 1998 Château Pavie was purchased by Gerard and Chantal Perse for $30.8 million. Perse was a selfmade millionaire, the founder of two highly successful supermarket chains that were sold to pursue his dream: to own a prestigious Right Bank vineyard. His first acquisition was Château Monbousquet in 1993 followed by Pavie- Decesse in 1997 but Pavie was his jewel in the crown. I remember visiting the estate just after Perse had commenced his radical reconstruction of the château, encountering him in deep conversation with Dr Alain Raynaud (they were allegedly joined at the hip around this time.) The scale of the investment was quite astonishing; a car-park of heavy machinery, blanketed with a film of fine white dust from the sandstone building blocks that would form the foundation of Perse's "Xanadu". It remains the flagship of his empire to this day. Château Pavie is located south-east of the village of Saint Emilion with part of the vineyard on the plateau at the top of clayey soil, with a majority of the vineyard on the limestone soils on the côte with around 3 hectares on the less distinguished sandy soil at the bottom of the slope. There are hectares of vines: 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon with an average vine-age of 45 years. The vineyard is pruned hard: 6 buds for old vines and 2 buds for young with extensive green harvesting in the summer months. Yields have been reduced from 55hl/ha under Valette, to an average of 30hl/ ha and Perse did not hesitate in pulling up 28% of inferior vines and installing a new drainage system. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate Château Pavie 1998 St Emilion, Premier Grand Cru Classé (a) includes 12-pack "Extremely full-bodied, yet brilliantly delineated, powerful, and awesomely concentrated, it boasts a fabulous mid-palate as well as a finish that lasts for nearly a minute...95."

191 ITALY GAJA In the mid-nineteenth century the Gaja family began producing wine in Piedmont. Giovanni Gaja established the winery and Angelo, the fourth generation, joined the family firm in Angelo Gaja, born in 1940 and the present director of the family firm, has a degree in enology from Alba as well as a masters in economics. In 1974 he went to California, where he presumably fell under the spell of the barrique. Gaja has achieved unequivocal success aging his Barbarescos in small, new oak barrels, where the wine takes on a certain subtlety and suppleness without losing the personality of the Nebbiolo grape. Gaja is the largest private owner of vineyards in the Barbaresco zone, with 153 acres of vines in Barbaresco, Treiso, and Alba. They own fourteen different vineyards in Barbaresco and Treiso that make up their Barbaresco normale. Besides this regular Barbaresco, Gaja bottles three individual crus. Of the three, Costa Russi matures the soonest. It is the most open, with a sweeter taste and more intense aroma. Sorì Tildìn is more closed and concentrated; it is firm in texture and holds more in reserve. Sorì San Lorenzo is the hardest of all in its youth, requiring age to show its real quality. It is the slowest maturing of the crus as well as the longest lived.

208 AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING COLLECTION OF RARE WINE (LOTS ) Let s start with the important stuff: this private home cellar has always been kept at 53 degrees, and it has always been tethered to the house s security system (best not to take any chances). A portion of the wine was also kept in professional wine storage, maintaining 55 degrees. The oldest and rarest bottles were collected starting in around 1988 to the mid 90s, and the collector had a wonderful drinking buddy by the name of Robert Parker. Bob Dickinson, a frequent consignor in Zachys auctions, also had this to say about the collection: I ve had the pleasure of drinking wine with this consignor for almost 30 years. Like anything else he does, he has always selected wines of the highest quality and provenance. I have enjoyed hundreds of his bottles over the years and each and every one has been a cherry! Amazingly, I honestly cannot recall even one so-so bottle. Pretty strong praise from one of the most meticulous consignors to ever grace a Zachys catalog. Now to the wines. Grocery shopping with this consignor would probably be tough, because you d come home with nothing but a shopping cart full of cherries. The Bordeaux in this offering is deep in the 1982s, including large formats of Cheval Blanc and Haut-Brion. Haut-Brion 1990 and 1989, of course are present.

225 AWAKENED BEAUTY: A DOMAINE DIRECT OFFERING from the CELLARS of SMITH HAUT LAFITTE (LOTS ) 240 ZACHYS tel fax bid@zachys.com zachys.com

226 Zachys is immensely excited and honored to present this rare offering of library vintages from the private cellars of the Cathiard family, close and personal friends of the Zacharia family. Château Smith Haut Lafitte has long been known as a property producing wines of exceptional quality, and perhaps even undervalued at times. The Château s history dates back to the Crusades, when in the XVIIIth century it was settled by a Scottish navigator named George Smith. In 1990, the Château entered a new (and arguably its best) era, when Daniel and Florence Cathiard purchased the estate. Upon their arrival, the Cathiards immediately began dedicating their life s work to converting it into a biodynamic winery, taking extreme steps to reduce the amount of chemicals used in the vineyards and changing many of the techniques and technologies in the winery. Their hard work has paid off, as today it is undoubtedly one of the leading estates in Graves. Smith Haut Lafitte s red wine contains 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, resulting in a robust wine with a silky texture and beautiful aromatics. The white of Smith Haut Lafitte, a personal favorite at Zachys, is composed of 90% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Sauvignon Gris and 5% Sémillon fermented in barrels. On this special occasion, Florence and Daniel have generously reached back into their limited stock of library vintages to give Zachys Bordeaux loving clients the opportunity to acquire and taste some of the great vintages made at the estate over the past four decades. We start with a selection of incredibly rare Imperials from the icon vintages like 1985, 1989 and 1990, to a Balthazar of the legendary 2009 vintage one to be aged for the next century! We also have on offer custom made mixed vintages cases of Smith Haut Lafite Blanc from vintages ending in , 1995, 2005 and of course, 2015! Before the arrival of the Cathiard Family, Château Smith Haut Lafitte bore the nickname of Sleeping Beauty. We can say with 100% confidence today that the estate has gained its rightful recognition as one of the greatest estates in Graves it is no longer sleeping. Today, Smith Haut Lafitte produces elegant, powerful and complete wines, and are without a doubt one of the great stars of Bordeaux and one of wines that is closest to our hearts here at Zachys.

235 AN INCREDIBLY RARE IMPERIAL OF AMERICA S MOST LEGENDARY WINE: HEITZ MARTHA S VINEYARD CABERNET SAUVIGNON 1974 (LOT 1771) ONE OF THREE MADE AND THE ONLY EVER OFFERED FOR SALE Legendary Napa vintner and winemaker Joe Heitz was not partial to oversize bottles and produced them very rarely and only for special events. This imperial of 1974 Heitz Martha s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is an early exception from the mid-1970s. The consignor, an active and influential member of the wine community and friend of the Heitz family, asked Joe if he would bottle an imperial for him. Joe obliged, and presented the consignor with an imperial of the then current vintage of his top wine, the Heitz Cabernet Sauvignon Martha s Vineyard This imperial, held in professional storage since delivery in the 1970s, bears the Anniversary label used by Heitz for top vintages of Martha s Vineyard on both front and back. The Heitz Martha s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 1974, from the finest Napa vintage of the 1970s, is a top contender for the greatest American wine ever made. The Wine Spectator placed it on the cover of its January 31, 1990 issue, calling it America s Most Treasured Wine, and in its January 31, 1999 issue named it one of twelve greatest wines produced in the Twentieth Century. I am fortunate to have tasted the Heitz Martha s 1974 on a number of occasions over the last three decades, and the wine has never ceased to amaze. -Fritz Hatton 250 ZACHYS tel fax bid@zachys.com zachys.com

237 I had this wine twice over a period of thirty days, rating it an astounding 99 and 98 points. A monumental California Cabernet Sauvignon, it appears to have approached its plateau of maturity but should easily last for more years. There is no rust, amber, or brown to the saturated dark purple color. The spectacular, huge, Mouton Rothschild-like nose of mint, cassis, lead pencil, and toast is remarkably youthful. Staggeringly concentrated, this full-bodied, super-rich wine possesses moderate tannin, fresh, lively acidity, and a blockbuster, rich, fleshy finish. This is a monumental effort!

238 Tom and Martha May purchased the property that Tom subsequently named, somewhat tongue in cheek, Martha s Vineyard, in the early 1960s. A small part of the vineyard had been planted to Cabernet Sauvignon in 1960 and 1961, and the Mays sold their Cabernet fruit to vintner Joe Heitz beginning in Tom requested that a barrel of the Martha s Vineyard fruit be held separate, and Heitz was sufficiently impressed that in 1966, set aside 400 cases worth of what would become America s first ever vineyard designated wine, the Heitz Cabernet Sauvignon Martha s Vineyard. Heitz used a distinctive regime for the elevage of the Martha s Vineyard Cabernet: nine months in neutral American oak foudres, followed by three years in French oak barrels, and keeping the wine from going through malolactic fermentation. Heitz replanted the rest of the Mays vineyard to Cabernet Sauvignon, allowing production to increase from 400 cases to over 4,000 by the 1974 vintage.

260 RARE WINES FROM ITALY, BURGUNDY, BORDEAUX AND CALIFORNIA (LOTS ) Let s start in Italy: Zachys is delighted to be offering back vintages from Quintarelli wines that dwindle in quantity with every passing year. These mature Alzero wines are hard to come by. The cellar also has Gaja and some Super Tuscans. This collection also features 1989s and 1986s from Guigal, a wide selection of SQN, Bryant, Araujo, Harlan, Maya and Screaming Eagle. A horizontal of Rhône 1990s from Rayas, Guigal and Chave would be a nice tasting. And that s before the DRC, Dujac and 1982 Haut-Brion. Truly something for everyone! BORDEAUX Château Latour 1996 Pauillac, Premier Cru Classé one scuffed label "...reminiscent to the 1990 Latour...the same generosity on the palate and similar notes on the nose.

262 RHÔNE GUIGAL Marcel Guigal - perfectionist, fanatical, pernickety is the super-star of the appellation and probably sells more Côte-Rôtie under his own label than all the other growers combined. Despite this size, however, the quality is exemplary - as they should be at the prices he charges! He harvests late, insists on very low yields, and keeps the wines in a combination of barrel and small foudres and demi-muids, all newish wood, for up to three and a half years before bottling. Their wines are so concentrated they can withstand this wait without drying out, and remain profound, rich and individual. La Landonne is the Brune, La Mouline the Blonde, La Turque the sort of hermaphroditic mixture. Usually my favourite is the Landonne. The Château d Ampuis bottling combines elements of both the sectors of Côte-Rôtie, from vines in the climats of La Pommiere, Le Pavillon, La Garde and Le Clos. Clive Coates, An Encyclopedia of The Wines and Domaines of France Côte-Rôtie La Landonne Guigal 1978 Rhône 1.5cm, scuffed and lightly bin-soiled label "...excessively concentrated, prodigious amount of fruit, extract, glycerin, and character possessed by this wine...96."

285 SINE QUA NON In the jargon of English speaking wine nerds, they are called garage wines, garagistes in Spanish, vins de garage in French, and delicious, expensive, and impossible to find wines by the mainstream consuming public. They are some of the most exciting efforts being produced in winedom today are these limited production gems The truth is in the bottle, and garage wines often provide compelling drinking experiences. The ultimate garage wine from southern California emanates from a rusty warehouse that appears to be on the wrong side of the railroad tracks running through Ventura. The winery s name is Sine Qua Non (literally translated from Latin means without which one cannot.), and as the proprietors (the husband and wife team of Elaine and Manfred Krankl) indicate on the label of their sumptuous 1997 Syrah called Imposter McCoy, the truth is inside Elaine and Manfred Krankl are both very involved in the production of artisanal wines from their small garage/warehouse...their first serious commercial venture was a Syrah called Black and Blue, which was made at Napa s Havens winery in This was followed by an assortment of oddly-named offerings under the Sine Qua Non moniker. These included the Queen of Spades in 1994, Red Handed, The Bride, and The Other Hand in 1995, Omadhaun and Poltroon, Eclipse, Against the Wall, and The Complicator in 1996, and Twisted and Bent, Imposter McCoy, and Veiled in The funky labels have all been reproductions of Manfred Krankl s artwork, and the wines are put in heavy, antique bottles that seem intentionally designed to provoke lower back pain. Most importantly, the wines are undeniably distinctive, individualistic, and brilliant. In short, this is wine geek code for they taste real good. Elaine Krankl looks for accessibility, fullness, and length, as well as a wine that is completely alive. She accuses her husband of thinking more long-term, and he tends to agree, claiming that she has a more visceral reaction to wine quality, which he admires. Manfred claims to be the analyst, trying to project what the wine will taste like in the future. They make no secret (and are in agreement) about their favorite producers. First and foremost, these include the late Jacques Raynaud of Château Rayas in Châteauneuf du Pape, followed by Henri Jayer in Burgundy, California s Helen Turley, France s Gérard Chave, François Raveneau, and Marcel Guigal, and Italy s Elio Altare After a few forays into northern California, all the fruit since 1994 has come from Santa Barbara, the region they believe has the greatest potential for Rhône Valley-styled wine (known in the vernacular as Rhône Rangers ). Until they began making wine at their own garage/warehouse facility in 1997, they produced wine at the Ojai Vineyard in Ojai and at the Alban Vineyard in San Luis Obispo. The Syrah utilized in The Queen of Spades, Red Handed (blended with Grenache and Mourvèdre), The Other Hand, Against the Wall, and Imposter McCoy has largely come from the Alban Vineyard, although this has recently been supplemented by grapes from both the Bien Nacido and Stolpman Vineyards. The Roussanne and Chardonnay have come from the Alban Vineyard, and the Grenache from the Stolpman Vineyard. Their sweet wines are made from sources such as the Brander and Alban Vineyards. Their small quantities of Pinot Noir are exported from the Northwest, shipped in reefer (temperature-controlled) trucks from Oregon s Willamette Valley Shea Vineyard.
