1 DAY TWO MAY 18, 2018 LOTS Lot ZACHYS tel fax zachys.com

2 THE PROPERTY OF AN ESTEEMED COLLECTOR (LOTS ) This pristine cellar comes from just a short distance outside of New York City. It was stored in a custom home cellar, underground, and maintaining perfect temperature and humidity for wine storage. What s more, a large portion of this wine was bought from Zachys retail, on release, and sent directly to this cellar via temperature-controlled truck. It hadn t moved since a team of Zachys specialists moved it into a Zachys reefer truck for this auction. Though many regions are represented, the focus is on Bordeaux, especially wines from the 89 and 05 vintages. There are 100-pointers like 2010 Montrose, and wines suited for tomorrow night s dinner, like 82 Pichon Lalande or 89 Ducru. For the claret lover, there is something here for everyone.

13 The Magnificent Private Cellar of Lee Weintraub (Lots ) What a highlight of our spring season to present the cellar of Lee Weintraub a collector I ve known for many years. Lee is someone who understood the importance of meticulousness in collecting long before decades before Zachys was an auction house. In other words, with Lee, wine was a labor of love. He was meticulous because, in his heart, Lee is more than a wine collector. He s a wine lover, and he knew even in the nascent years of his collecting that wines bought on release and maintained at a constant (low) temperature and humidity would mature elegantly and develop all the qualities we look for in great wine. Most of the bottles in Lee s collection are in their original cases or cartons. The condition of the bottles is pristine. That makes it a real pleasure to work with him. Enjoy this selection, and bid with utmost confidence. Jeff Zacharia, April ZACHYS tel fax bid@zachys.com zachys.com

14 A Note from the Consignor As Jeff and I were putting together this selection of wines, Jeff told me, you re the most meticulous collector I ve ever dealt with. I think that Jeff means involved and demanding. In any event, that means a lot, considering the kinds of cellars Zachys has sold over the years (including part of my own, back in 2007). I first ventured into wine quite modestly, as a student in law school at Cornell University. If I was lucky enough to have a date on a Saturday night (and a couple of dollars in my pocket) we d go for dinner to the Statler, home of Cornell s famous hotel school, and I d order a bottle of Mateus or Lancers. I graduated from law school in 1970 and moved to Washington, D.C., where I had an appointment at the U.S. Department of Justice. Washington, D.C., was where my interest in wine started to grow. When I could, I d go to great restaurants, some of which have long-ago shuttered their kitchens: Rive Gauche, 1789, Jour et Nuit, the Jockey Club. I was just drinking at this point, not collecting, but I was gaining knowledge. In 1976, I moved to Miami, where I still live today. I met my wife Teresa in 1982 and with three other couples, we started a wine group. We had parties where each couple brought a bottle on a theme, and things grew from there. I still remember a bottle of 1983 Corton- Charlemagne from Louis Jadot. While I can t say I had one particular a-ha wine, this came close. Really, though, my primary love is Bordeaux. The first case of fine wine I bought was the 1982 Pichon Lalande I suppose I was lucky that I started collecting just in time for the 82s. Even though that case is long gone, I still remember where I bought it: Sunset Corners Wine & Spirits. It seemed expensive at the time, but now the price is almost laughably low. And I loved it so much I bought the 83. That kicked off my buying I loved the 83 Palmer and Margaux. The 85 l Evangile and l Eglise Clinet were favorites. I bought heavily the Bordeaux vintages of 86, 89, 90, 95, 96, 98 Right Bank, 00, 03 Left Bank, 05, 09 and 10. Some may disagree, but I enjoyed the 88s. I think that it s important to find the charms in every vintage, not just the greats. Eventually I joined the local Miami chapters of the International Food & Wine Society and the Commanderie de Bordeaux. In 2004 Bob Dickinson took me to my first Bacchus Society event, and then in 2005 the inductee was Rob Caine, another friend of Zachys, who has become a close friend of mine, and generously agreed to write an introduction to my offering in this auction. In 2006, lo and behold, the Bacchus Society selected me as its inductee. My interests broadened to include Burgundy, though I sold a lot of that side of my cellar with Zachys in I love Rhône wines fabulous values as well as Spanish and Italian wines. There is a special place in my heart for California Cabernet Sauvignon, particularly those from Philip Togni and Ridge Monte Bello. Nearly every bottle in his offering was bought on release, by me. Every bottle was stored in professional wine storage, at one location, since purchase. The reason for this auction? I m now approaching 74, have too much wine, and these days Teresa and I drink less. It is time to share with you. Please enjoy the offering, and I hope our paths cross over a glass of wine in the future. -Lee Weintraub, April 2018 ZACHYS tel fax bid@zachys.com zachys.com 188

16 The Magnificent Private Cellar of Lee Weintraub It is an honor and privilege to introduce the wonderful collection of Lee Weintraub, a dear friend, wine enthusiast and fellow member of the Bacchus Society of America. To meet Lee in person is to enjoy the company of a truly considerate, compassionate gentleman. Lee s kind demeanor belies his storied legal career, during which his acumen for analyzing complex litigation and winning significant cases was legendary. It is with the same analytical skill and attention to detail that Lee composed his wine collection. Having the good fortune to begin his collecting career with the 1982 Bordeaux vintage, Lee continued to build and diversity over the years. His intellect and passion propelled him to amass an eclectic selection of the world s greatest wines. His storage requirements were also absolutely uncompromising. On several occasions I have accompanied him to his treasure trove at International Wine Storage Company in Miami a near hypothermic experience! For the past two decades, it has been my great fortune to share many bottles generously offered by Lee from his cellar, and they have been uniformly superb, reflecting their meticulous acquisition and perfect storage. You may purchase wines from Lee s cellar with full confidence in their provenance, integrity and condition. -Rob Caine, April 2018 C h ât e au A u s o n e H i s to r y Ausone is named for Ausonius, a fourth century poet and later Consul to Rome who lived in the area, although no proof exists that the current Ausone holdings and Ausonius were connected. What is known is that he owned vineyards in or near Bordeaux, and that since Roman times wine has been made in and around St Emilion. From the early eighteenth century Ausone was owned by the Cantenat family, eventually passing to a nephew, M. Lafargue. Lafargue is credited with building Ausone s reputation at the time; during his tenure it was considered the finest producer in all of St Emilion. In the early 1890s it passed to Lafargue s niece, Madame Challon, who later married Edouard Dubois. Edouard Dubois-Challon continued the work of Lafargue and by the time of the First World War Ausone was considered the wine of the commune, even greater than Cheval Blanc. This success and reputation enabled Dubois-Challon to acquire neighboring Château Belair in Alain Vauthier, the current proprietor, is a descendant of the family. V i n e ya r d s & W i n e m a k i n g For a long time Ausone had a reputation as an erratic performer, but more recently has begun to achieve its potential consistently. In 1989 Clive Coates wrote presciently in Grand Vins, I dare say it will not be long before Ausone fetches the same prices as Pétrus. There are two main aréas of vineyards in St Emilion, the valley and the slopes. Ausone is in a prime spot on the slopes, a steep plot of 7.3 hectares on a mixture of clay soil and some sandy gravel with a limestone base and subsoil. It is planted with almost fifty percent each of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, plus a few Cabernet Sauvignon vines. Like many of the châteaux on the St Emilion slopes, Ausone s cellars are dug right into the side of the hill. In fact, so much of the hill has been excavated that a couple of years ago a whole acre of the Belair vineyard collapsed. The wines have a three to four week maceration following fermentation before going into 100 percent new oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and around eighteen to twenty-four months of maturation. The annual production of 2000 cases is then fined with egg whites and bottled without filtration. ZACHYS tel fax bid@zachys.com zachys.com 190

24 The Magnificent Private Cellar of Lee Weintraub C h ât e au L a f i t e R ot h s c h i l d For as long as anyone can remember, Lafite has been the most highly regarded wine in 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.

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. ZACHYS tel fax bid@zachys.com zachys.com 198

26 C h ât e au L ato u r Some of my fondest wine memories are of drinking wine bottles of the renowned Château Latour. It is, without a doubt, one of the greatest wine estates in the world. While its history goes well back to the fourteenth century, Latour began to be clearly defined as one of the greatest wine estates in the world in the mid-nineteenth century, and amazingly, It has kept that position for the last 150 years. Their wines, which are known for their power, richness and longevity, are sought after by collectors and wine lovers throughout the world. As Robert M. Parker says of Château Latour in The World s Greatest Wine Estates, The wine produced here has been an impeccable model of consistent excellence, in great, mediocre, and poor vintages. For that reason, many have long considered Latour to be the Médoc s finest wine Latour remains one of the most concentrated, rich, tannic, and full-bodied wines in the world. In 2000, I had the wonderful opportunity to taste over twenty-five vintages of Château Latour, including fourteen wines older than 1961 and four from the nineteenth century. It was an evening I will never forget. The wines were so rich, alive and fresh. What an extraordinary experience it was to be able to taste the 1900 and the 1899 side by side and discuss the differences, or to argue whether the 1955 or the 1949 is showing better right now (at my table we all thought the 1955 had the slight edge). In the end we tasted Latour from a 125 year span and although there was a lot of discussion about which were the better wines, the final conclusion of everyone in the room was that, Latour makes some of greatest wines that any of us have ever tasted.

29 The Magnificent Private Cellar of Lee Weintraub C h ât e au M a r g au x For centuries before the French Revolution, the château was owned by the Lestonnac family. The revolution, though, saw the estate s owners beheaded, and when the heirs were unable to pay the costs of running the château, Margaux was put up for auction. The successful bidder, the Marquis de la Colonilla, demolished the old château, and in 1802 work began on the grand château we know today. The Château was sold several times until it was acquired by the Ginestets, longtime shareholders who finally became sole owners in 1949, with the purchase financed by the sale of their St Emilion property, Clos Fortet. However, First Growth châteaux are expensive to run, and to finance the operations of the estate, the owner sold off the vineyards of Dufort Vivens in the 1960s and transferred Cos d Estournel to his sister in Even those moves, though, were not enough, and collapse of the Bordeaux market in the early 1970s forced Ginestet to sell the château in 1976 to Greek supermarket magnate Andre Mentzelopoulos. A serious oenophile, he was also a major shareholder in the French wine firm, Nicolas.

30 The Magnificent Private Cellar of Lee Weintraub C h ât e au M o u to n R ot h s c h i l d 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.

33 The Magnificent Private Cellar of Lee Weintraub C h ât e au A n g é l u s Château Angélus has one of the longer histories in the St. Emilion appellation. The de Bouard family has a long history in the region. In fact, the de Bouard family has been in Bordeaux for more than 700 years. They arrived in St. Emilion in However, even though Château Angélus has been around for quite a while, the Château does not have the same track record as the family. Compared to the current owners, Angélus is mere baby having been born in That was the year when Georges de Bouard began purchasing vineyard land in the St. Emilion area. Skipping ahead a few hundred years, Catherine de Bouard de Laforest began living at a St. Emilion property known as Château Mazerat at the close of the 18th century. The true birth of what we know of as Château Angélus begins in 1909 when Maurice de Bouard de La Forest inherited the vineyard owned by his ancestor. In 1921, Maurice de Bouard de La Forest purchased a 3.5 hectare parcel of vines known as L Angélus and the estate was born. Château Angélus is still owned by the de Bouard family. In fact, since 1989, Angélus is considered one of the top estates in the entire Right Bank appellation. Hubert de Bouard is currently in charge of managing the family directed property. Today, all the children participate in running the estate. Prior to his tenure, the truth is, the property was not making wines as good as their terroir allowed. Shortly after de Bouard began running the property, he instituted another change. He changed the name from L Angélus to Angélus. He said, This allows the wine to show up first in alphabetized lists. He was right! Château Angélus was one of the first Châteaux to expand into China and Asia. In part, some of their initial success into China was due to their logo of the golden bell, where the wine is referred to as Kin Chung, The Golden Bell. In fact, Hubert de Bouard has always been a savvy marketer. He was one of the first people to connect with Hollywood when he negotiated the addition of Château Angélus into the plot of a James Bond movie!

39 The Magnificent Private Cellar of Lee Weintraub C h ât e au L a C o n s e i l l a n t e One of the most elegant labels among all the top growths in the Gironde area is that produced by Château La Conseillante in Pomerol. The label is white with a fancy silver shield and a broad silver border. The capsule is a rich blue-purple which will stand out in every bin. Moreover, what is in the bottle is, after Pétrus, one of the best wines in the commune. The female councilor in the title, La Conseillante, was Catherin Conseillan, a dame de fer, a lady who had a business dealing in metals in Libourne in the middle third of the eighteenth century Perhaps it was because she wholesaled ploughshares and wire on which vines could be trained that this lady had the idea of developing a section of land on the Pomerol-St Emilion border between 1735 and She was certainly one of the pioneers of vineyard exploitation in the area. In 1756 a wine called La Conseillante was baptized. It has been one of the leading Pomerol crus ever since. T h e W i n e m a k i n g The winemaking has remained traditional. The wine undergoes a long maceration with the skins, is matured in oak barrels, half of which are renewed each year, and kept twenty to twenty-four months before bottling. It is neither filtered nor, even when it undergoes periodic racking, never pumped. Movement from one receptacle to another is by gravity...the wine resembles Lafleur Pétrus rather than Lafleur or Pétrus itself in that it is elegant rather than densely structured, perfumed and accessible rather than firm and unforthcoming, delicately rich and refined rather than voluptuously solid. This, I would suggest, is a result of the gravel and sand elements in the soil. What I find exciting about a good Conseillante is its complexity, the depth and concentration of its fruit; above all, its breed. Though it seems to mature faster than some of its more muscular neighbours, the wine is normally impeccably balanced and therefore will certainly keep. As the Conseillante motto has it: Faire peu mais fair bon ( Make little, but make it good ). It deserves its high reputation. Clive Coates, Grands Vins, 1995 T h e V i n e ya r d La Conseillante lies at the extreme eastern end of Pomerol just by the crossroads where one turns off the D21 to go down to Cheval Blanc, and is bounded by Petit Village, Vieux Château Certan, Pétrus and L Evangile on the Pomerol side and by Cheval Blanc itself across the road and the commune boundary. Part of the vineyard, indeed, is in St Emilion. The vineyard is in one piece and has remained the same size, roughly twelve hectares, since the Nicolas purchase. It now produces forty to forty-five tonneaux from equal proportions of Merlot and Cabernet Franc and ten percent Malbec. The land here is some thirty-five meters above sea level, a plateau of gravel, clay and sand, which rises marginally to the north towards Pétrus and descends in the opposite direction towards the Dordogne and the outskirts of Libourne.

42 The Magnificent Private Cellar of Lee Weintraub C h ât e au L a M i s s i o n H au t-brion Although the histories of Château Haut-Brion and La Mission are entwined, both have always been separate entities, sharing a common family name. It is only since 1983 that they have shared the same proprietor when it was taken over by the owners of Haut-Brion On November 2nd 1983, the present owners acquired La Mission after the owner Francis Dewavrin was unable to resolved internal family disputes over the way the property was managed and it marks a convergence of histories between Château Haut-Brion and La Mission, though only in the sense that they share the same owner: Clarence Dillon. He enlisted Jean-Bernard Delmas as Château-manager and there followed a period that has consolidated La Mission s position as one of the greatest estates, hovering just outside the First Growths. Their commitment to innovation and improvements has been a catalyst for many estates in the Graves region to improve their wines, particularly with respect of clonal selection research. In 1987 the old chai was renovated, a new stateof-the-art cuvier was installed and a new bottling line was implemented in It must be emphasized that the estates are treated as separate entities, even though at some point the vines of both run side-by-side. In 2003 Jean-Bernard retired and handed the reins over to his son, Jean-Philippe Delmas. The Wines Certainly since the arrival of Jean-Bernard Delmas the style of wine has improved: the wine is more pure and the volatile acidity has been eradicated. At its best (the 1966, 1975, 1998) La Mission is a massive, tannic behemoth that has more in common with Château Latour than Château Haut-Brion. It is a powerful, sturdy wine with firm tannins and admirable longevity This is definitely one of the most intriguing wines in Bordeaux: the appeal of La Mission is that it seems to avoid the vagaries of winemaking trends and wears its heart on its sleeve. This is a classic wine in every sense of the word and it can make a seamless match with food. A poor La Mission is still a better wine than most; a good La Mission is a great wine and a great La Mission can be a religious experience. I have met few wine critics who do not hold this estate in high esteem: it is a wine for true wine lovers.

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. T h e W i n e 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!

47 The Magnificent Private Cellar of Lee Weintraub L e P i n The vineyard has humble beginnings. Mme. Loubie owned the land from 1924 until her passing in March 1979 and during this time the wine was sold as generic Pomerol. When Jacques Thienpont purchased the meager 1.6-hectares parcel for one million francs, he named his wine Le Pin, after a solitary pine tree that shaded the property. His cousin, Alexandre Thienpont once told me that Jacques contemplated absorbing the tiny parcel into Vieux Château Certan in order to supplement the production, but had a change of heart once it was his possession, after all quality was already improving at Vieux Château Certan. Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s the wine became an icon of modern Bordeaux. Le Pin was soon challenging the supremacy of Pétrus not only in terms of price, but in terms of quality. Its scarcity, memorable name, its understated label, charismatic proprietor and most importantly quality, provided the rocket fuel for its meteoric rise into the elite in a handful of years. The present encepagement is 92% Merlot with just 8% Cabernet Franc although the final blend is usually 100% Merlot, similar to Château Pétrus.

The families were Mauleon Rouchut of Clos l Eglise. And the Constant family, the owners of Château Clinet. From that point forward, until the mid-1950s, their Bordeaux wine was sold under the name Clos L Eglise-Clinet. Before Denis Durantou, the current owner and wine maker took over, his great-grandfather managed the property. The elder Durantou spent all his time as a shopkeeper. He did not live at the Château. He preferred to spend his time on his dairy farm, located in Coutras. Denis Durantou took over the winery in the mid-1980s. The property, slowly but surely keeps getting better and better. Today, it is one of the stars of Pomerol! The wine is concentrated, full-bodied, opulent and rich. Everything is in harmony. This special Bordeaux wine offers a purity of fruit, exotic spice components and freshness. The portion of old vine Cabernet Franc, which is close to 70 years of age is part of what makes this wine unique. Those vines are a large component of what separates the style and aromatic complexity of L Eglise Clinet from the most of the other top Pomerol wines.

Just prior the century s turning it was sold to a lawyer named Isambert, who changed the name to L Evangile. The estate was up for sale again in 1862, this time bought by Paul Chaperon, and it stayed with his descendants (the Ducasse family) until its purchase by the Rothschilds of Château Lafite in T h e W i n e While not a big producer compared to the Châteaux of the Medoc, L Evangile manages around 5000 cases annually from its fourteen hectares holding.

50 The Magnificent Private Cellar of Lee Weintraub C h ât e au M o n t r o s e Château Montrose is a relatively recent estate compared with its neighbors, but in a very short time rose from woodland to second growth status in the 1855 classification. In 1778 some unused woodland belonging to the Ségur family was sold off and purchased, along with Calon Ségur, by the Dumoulin family. In the early 1800s they began to plant vines, and by 1832 vineyards covered over thirty hectares. Around this time, a small Château-type building was built and the wine first appeared under the name of Montrose (a name of unknown origin). Though a very young estate, it gained second growth status in 1855, by which time there were almost fifty hectares under vine. It passed to the Charmolue family in 1896, and remains under their ownership. While Montrose was sixty-five hectares in size by the 1890s, unlike many of its peers it has barely grown at all since then and is currently around the sixty-eight hectares mark. The vineyards are planted with sixty-five percent Cabernet Sauvignon, twenty-five percent Merlot and ten percent Cabernet Franc, with annual production of around cases. Château Montrose is known as a very consistent performer, especially in lesser years when many of its neighbors struggle.

75 S c r e a m i n g E ag l e s B r oa d W i n g s pa n It s rare. It s expensive. And there s a mystique about it. But Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon is no pretender. It s the real thing, and it deserves to be considered among s prestige wines... You can t make wine this magnificent without fabulous grapes, and Screaming Eagle clearly comes from a spectacular vineyard on the east side of Oakville, near the Oakville Crossroad While ripening Cabernet (and smaller amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Franc) is routinely easy in this area, one of the trademarks of Oakville Cabernet is that the wines often display an herbal quality that manifests itself in a variety of subtleties, including hints of anise, sage, dusty berry, cedar and occasionally a whiff of new leather and tar. You find these shades of herb in Cabernets like Heitz Martha s Vineyard (grown on the west side of Oakville), with its signature minty currant personality, or Groth, which is one of the cooler sites on the valley floor. Screaming Eagle captures the best of all these elements. It also epitomizes exquisite balance, managing both to be enormously complex and concentrated, yet elegantly styled, with a smooth, polished texture.

78 the EXCELLENCE collection PART IV (LOTS ) Those that follow Zachys auctions closely will recognize this cellar from the March La Paulée auction. The Excellence Collection has returned and it is truly that: excellent. Bordeaux is a highlight here, with bottles that are decades, and sometimes nearly a century, old. The 1945 vintage to some, the greatest vintage of the 20th-century is in strong supply, as is the 47, 49, 59, and 61, all of which are contenders for best ever. The Burgundy is just as strong with DRC from 85, 88, and 90 and a large offering of Leroy, Rousseau, Dugat, Mortet and more. Greats from other regions make an appearance, too, from Chave to Guigal to Harlan, Yquem, and even Hill of Grace. With all that, this truly is excellence in vino.

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.

95 The Wine Collection of Gail & Stephen Freifeld (Lots ) From dear friends of Zachys is a new portion of a collection that has graced these catalog pages on several occasions. On one of the rare sunny days of March, a Zachys team traveled to the Freifelds cellar to pack the lots in this offering. In two, separate, subterranean dark and temperature-controlled cellars the Zachys team found a treasure-trove of rare wines, almost entirely bought on release by Dr. Freifeld himself. Even those wines decades-old were bought by Dr. Freifeld, and they ve only ever been in his cellar not far from New York City. Wines tasted from the cellar have all retained the freshness and aromatic complexity one expects from storage such as this. Bid with confidence! 269 ZACHYS tel fax bid@zachys.com zachys.com

When the Araujo family acquired the vineyard in 1990 it was replanted to the best varietal clones suited for elite quality wine production. The family also constructed an underground cave system specifically for aging the wine in the most naturally ideal temperature and humidity conditions.

With vineyard management by David Abreu and winemaking by Helen Turley, the wine was immediately recognized as a new superstar in Napa, with the debut vintage scored 96 points by Robert Parker. Since then, he has awarded a perfect score of 100 points to three Colgin wines. Colgin s reputation was originally founded on their Herb Lamb Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, made from 1992 to While that is no longer in the portfolio, Colgin today produces wines from two estate-owned sites and from vineyards owned and managed by Napa legend David Abreu. Two estate-grown single-varietal wines are produced, a Cabernet Sauvignon from the Tychson Hill Vineyard and a Syrah from the IX Vineyard. The other two wines in the portfolio are Bordeaux blends, the estategrown IX Vineyard Red and Cariad, from Abreu s vineyards.

Approximately twenty-four acres are in vine and the yields to date have been very low. Bill Harlan, better-known as one of the principals of Merryvale Vineyards...has only one objective: to produce one of the greatest red wines of California. The wines are a blend of approximately two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon and the remainder Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Bob Levy, Merryvale s winemaker and Michel Rolland, the well-known Bordeaux oenologist, are the architects behind these exceptional efforts. Stylistically the wines are the equivalent of a hypothetical La Mission Haut- Brion/Cheval Blanc blend. They are rich, powerful wines with unmistakable elegance, complexity, and purity.

127 A COLLECTOR OF PRIMARILY AMERICAN WINE WITH A PENCHANT FOR SINE QUA NON (LOTS ) This consignor has been collecting fine wines for the last 40+ years. During that time, his interest evolved to focus on American wines, in particular Cult Red California wines which emerged not long after he began collecting. When Robert Parker started publishing The Wine Advocate, he used him for guidance and over the years, built an extensive cellar of highly rated (95+) wines. He quickly began to focus almost exclusively on American winemakers who were making more limited production but qualitatively fine wines. The pride and joy of his collection is Sine Qua Non, which he has been acquiring direct almost since the winery s inception and has bottles representing each vintage and each wine from 1997 until now.
