THE VAULT III DOM PÉRIGNON

Transcription

1 DOM PÉRIGNON Dom Pérignon is named for a 17th-century monk, Dom Pierre Pérignon, who was a cellar master for the Abbey of Hautvillers. He used the vineyards to return the estate to prosperity. With well thought-out and thorough blending of grapes, white wines from black grape varieties and gentle and divided pressing, Dom Pierre Pérignon laid the essential foundations for the "champenoise" method. Right up to his death in 1715, this contemporary of Louis XIV perfected the art of winemaking in Champagne.

2 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.

7 CHÂTEAU AUSONE 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. 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 areas 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.

8 CHÂTEAU CHEVAL BLANC Cheval Blanc has a relatively short history compared with the other top-rank châteaux of Bordeaux. As recently as the 1830s it was still a part of Figeac. A portion of that estate was sold to the Ducasse family, then owners of L Evangile, and by twenty years later, when a Ducasse married a Fourcard-Loussac, the property was already some thirty-one hectares in size. The estate remained with the Fourcard-Loussac family until part of it was sold to Bernard Arnault and his company, LVMH, in Today, along with Château d Yquem, it is fully owned by Arnault and managed by the dynamic Pierre Lurton. Cheval Blanc, across the road from Pomerol, has distinctive soil makeup: about twenty percent sand, forty percent clay and forty percent gravel. In the gravelly and sandy areas the roots have to work hard to stay alive and often reach depths of seven to eight meters, compared with two to three meters in the clay areas. Today the roughly thirty-seven hectares of vineyards are planted with sixty percent Cabernet Franc and forty percent Merlot. Yields are typically thirty-five hl/ha, and the annual production of 6500 to 7000 cases is bottled after eighteen to twenty-four months in new oak.

9 CHÂTEAU HAUT-BRION Haut-Brion has the longest history of all the First Growths. It was even mentioned by Samuel Pepys in his diary entry of April 10,1663, when he was dining at the Royal Oak Tavern in Lombard Street, London:...and here drank a sort of French wine called Ho Bryan that hath a good and most particular taste I never met with. 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. 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.

12 CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD 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. 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.

14 CHÂTEAU LATOUR 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.

15 CHÂTEAU MARGAUX Perhaps the grandest of the Bordeaux châteaux, Château Margaux is the epitome of style and refinement. At Château Margaux one has truly arrived at the heart and soul of Bordeaux, the world s most renowned wine region. 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.

16 CHÂTEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD Mouton, like much of Pauillac in the sixteenth century, was part of the sprawling Ségur estate. In the mid-eighteenth 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-one-year-old Baron Philippe decided to run the Château full-time. 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.

19 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 earth-shatteringly tasty, but distinctive, lending the name Pétrus majesty because of its quality but also its inimitability.

23 CHÂTEAU LAFLEUR Originally part of the Le Gay estate, Lafleur is owned by the Robin family, also owners of Le Gay until Today Lafleur is managed by Jacques Guinaudeau, a cousin of the owners. The vineyard is just 200 meters from Pétrus and although gravelly in appearance, the soils do contain a fair amount of clay. The vines here are fairly old, having largely avoided the 1956 frost, and the yields are low, just twenty-six hl/ha. The grapes are total destemmed, and the wines spend roughly sixteen to twenty months in fifty percent new oak barriques. This is an extremely rich and heady wine, like liquid velvet, big and muscular when young, but mellowing wonderfully in time.

26 LE PIN 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 élite 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. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate Le Pin 1982 Pomerol top shoulder, heavily damp-stained label "Tasted at Pebbles/Zachy s 1982 dinner in Hong Kong. Wow.

27 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.

33 BOUCHARD Bouchard Père et Fils was founded in 1731 and rapidly rose to prominence and remains to this day one of the greatest negociant/ domaines in Burgundy. It is the largest owner of Premier and Grands Crus in the Côte d Or with an incredible eighty-six hectares in these two categories plus another forty-four hectares of villages and regional vineyards, for a grand total of 130 hectares. And while not technically part of Bouchard proper, in 1998 Joseph Henriot, who is the owner of Bouchard, also bought William Févre in Chablis and they account for another fifty hectares of top vineyard land. As anyone knows who does even a modicum of casual wine reading these days, there is the notion being promulgated virtually everywhere that all great wines must come from vintages with very high levels of ripeness, whether it be sugars (read alcohol levels) or phenolics. And while this is true so far as it goes, it doesn t leave room to accept that great vintages, and great wines, don t necessarily have to follow in this ripeness is everything mantra Bouchard chooses not to pick on ripeness but rather acidity and has always done so. The wines, and their associated remarkable longevity, fly squarely in the face that the underlying phenolics must be ultra ripe for the wines to ever be any good, or just as importantly, age well. The emphasis on favoring acidity rather than high ripeness does not come without a cost and that cost is often upfront drinkability. It would be a distortion to suggest that phenolic ripeness is ignored it s not, but it s important to acknowledge that other viticultural philosophies than the current fad of emphasizing ripeness above all else can make exceptional wines as well, even though more patience is required to ultimately enjoy them. In that sense, Bouchard is not making modern wines as they do not fully destem and do not cold soak, which when combined with more acidity and often expressly structured wines frequently make the reds austere in their youth but time and again glorious with enough time in bottle. The whites, as these tastings amply demonstrate, age extremely well too but because they too favor ample acidity, also require plenty of time in bottle to be at their best.

35 PIERRE-YVES COLIN-MOREY Pierre-Yves Colin had been the winemaker at his father s Domaine Marc Colin since 1995 when, in 2001, he decided to strike out on his own with his wife Caroline Morey, first as a micro-négociant operation, focusing on tiny quantities of the finest fruit he could buy. He has since grown his holdings to include parcels in the communes of Chassagne-Montrachet, Meursault, Saint-Aubin and Santenay. His choice to use larger demi-muid barrels and eschew the use of battonnage makes each one of his bottlings a clear expression of its terroir and a study in mineral-driven Chardonnay, producing wine of extraordinary purity, elegance and precision. Pierre-Yves Colin and his wines have quickly become international stars.

36 COMTE GEORGES DE VOGÜÉ Delicate, feminine and fragrant, the epitome of finesse: lace, silk and taffeta; violets and dog-roses; raspberries and blackcurrants with a finish of liquorice; amplitude and generosity; intensity without a trace of hardness. All this has been said by those attempting to describe the taste of Le Musigny. Le Musigny consists of two sub-climats, Le Musigny itself and at the same altitude next door to the south, Les Petits-Musigny. The lion s share, more than seven hectares, almost seventy percent, and including the totality of Les Petites-Musigny, belongs to the Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé. This estate proclaims itself the Domaine des Musigny. The domaine also comprise 2.75 hectares of Bonnes-Mares, located entirely in the southern, Chambolle end of the climat, sixty ares of Amoureuses, 1.80 hectares of premiers crus (Baudes and Fuées) and a small parcel of village wine. Wines of the domaine are defined as classy and fragrant, very exciting indeed. The domaine is in good hands. The future is bright.

41 DOMAINE D'AUVENAY Domaine d Auvenay is the personal domaine of Lalou Bize-Leroy. When we think of Domaine Leroy, we think of tiny quantities of some of Burgundy's greatest wines. At Domaine d Auvenay the quantities are microscopic, the quality just as high. The estate's entire holdings are around just four hectares. Even by top end Burgundy standards it is tiny. However since she first established the Domaine in 1989 it has gone on to become the stuff of legend among Burgundy collectors and connoisseurs the world over. These are ultra-rare and the best of the best, no serious cellar is complete without them. One will notice that many perfectly stored bottles from Domaine d'auvenay will have assessment notes of signs of seepage. This is due to the fact they are overfilled at the domaine and are not an indication of poor storage conditions.

44 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.

52 JOSEPH DROUHIN The well-known Beaune-based négociant house of Joseph Drouhin has been an important firm in the appellation of Burgundy since its opening in In that year, Joseph Drouhin purchased a pre-existing small négociant operation and re-named it Maison Joseph Drouhin. Joseph handed over the reins of the significantly expanded négociant house to his son, Maurice Drouhin in Maurice Drouhin, who was one of the great figures of his era in Burgundy, presided over the family domaine until slowed by a sudden stroke in He was succeeded by his son Robert Drouhin, who continues to run the estate to this day. While Maison Joseph Drouhin now has a large spread of outstanding vineyard parcels scatted up and down the Côte d Or and in Chablis, it is virtually impossible to tell a Drouhin wine made from purchased grapes and those produced from their own vineyards, as the house style of terroir-driven, classic and age worthy Burgundy is shared both by the négociant wines and the estate wines. The Drouhins make all of their own wines from the Côte d Or, with an eye towards producing medium-full wines of great complexity and intensity of flavor in the traditional Burgundian style. Both the reds and whites are considered amongst the very finest wines produced in the Côte d Or by all knowledgeable Burgundy commentators today.

54 DUJAC This domaine was founded in 1968 by Jacques Seysses and currently comprises approximately fifteen hectares. Winemakers Jeremy and Diana Seysses have been at the helm of the Domaine since They believe that the success of their wines lie in the team effort at the Domaine from their Chef de Culture in the vineyard, Lilian Robin, to Jeremy s brother, Alec, and father, Jacques, who contribute in the cellar. In 2009, the Domaine began its conversion to total biodynamic farming practices.

57 ANNE GROS Domaine Anne Gros is one of several Gros family estates in the village of Vosne-Romanée, with her grandfather having been the famous Louis Gros who passed away in From Domaine Louis Gros has come four distinct Gros domaines in Vosne-Romanée today, with Anne Gros being the daughter of one of Louis Gros sons, François. This estate started out as Domaine François Gros when her father first took over his three hectare portion of the family s vineyards and began to bottle his own wines back in 1970, after having worked for several years alongside his brothers and sister at the family domaine. In 1978, health problems forced François Gros to cut back on his workload and his wines were then sold off in barrel to négociants for a full decade, until his only daughter, Anne, was ready to take over direction of the estate. At this point in time, it became Domaine Anne et François Gros, and since 1995, all of the wines here have simply been labeled as Domaine Anne Gros, to try to reduce confusion with the wines produced by her cousin Anne-Françoise Gros. The estate has expanded a bit since the original three hectares of vines that François began with in 1970, and today the domaine owns 6.5 hectares of vines in the villages of Vosne-Romanée, Vougeot and Chambolle-Musigny. Domaine Anne Gros is interesting in that it has no Premier Cru vineyards, with its two village wines of Chambolle-Musigny la Combe d Orveau and Vosne- Romanée les Barreaux augmented by fully three Grand Crus- an extremely old vine Clos Vougeot (vines planted in 1905), a fine example of Echézeaux and an aristocratic Richebourg. The style of Anne Gros wines are quintessential Vosne-Romanée, with a certain plummy opulence beautifully tied to the underlying soils of the respective vineyards and the wines treated to a generous dollop of toasty new oak up and down the range. While Madame Gros is most famous for her three rich and opulent Grand Crus, her village wines have consistently impressed as being of fine Premier Cru quality and offer up excellent value. Today, Domaine Anne Gros is one of the most famous and sought after estates in the fabled village of Vosne-Romanée.

58 HUBERT LIGNIER Domaine Hubert Lignier Père et Fils is one of the very finest estates in the village of Morey St Denis. Despite Monsieur Lignier now being over seventy years of age and having long had a reputation as one of the village s finest vignerons, the history of estate bottling here is relatively new, having only really begun in small steps in the late 1970s and not having fully taken hold until Hubert Lignier s oldest son, Romain, joined him full-time at the estate in Prior to this, Hubert Lignier was content to sell off the vast majority of his production to négociants (Pierre Bourée in Gevrey-Chambertin having been one of the lucky recipients of Monsieur Lignier s wines back in the day), and the amount of wine that was estate bottled was relatively small. Romain Lignier changed this as he was given more control over the direction of the domaine, so that since the 1993 vintage, the estate has been estate bottling one hundred percent of its production. Its vineyards are scattered across the villages of Chambolle-Musigny, Morey St Denis and Gevrey-Chambertin, with its two Grand Crus being an old vine Charmes-Chambertin and one of the greatest examples of Clos de la Roche to be found. Its Premier Cru holdings include a tiny parcel in Gevrey-Chambertin aux Combottes, a very slightly larger slice of Chambolle-Musigny les Baudes and better-proportioned holdings in several of Morey St Denis top Premiers Crus. Romain Lignier changed a few things during his tenure at the estate in terms of vinification, preferring to do a bit of a pre-fermentation cold soak à la Henri Jayer to improve extraction prior to the onset of the alcoholic fermentation, whereas his father prefers to extract during the fermentation itself. Romain also used a bit more new oak than is father during his time at the domaine, with the barrels also a bit more heavily toasted than was the case when his father was solely in charge. Tragically, Romain Lignier passed away in 2004 from a brain tumor at the very young age of thirty-four, with the domaine reverting back partially to his father Hubert, who is now assisted by his other son, Laurent Lignier. So the style of the Domaine Hubert Lignier wines have changed a bit over the years, with the wines a bit more new oaky and sappy in style (though still outstanding and with absolutely no shortage of terroir) during Romain s days as chief winemaker here from 1991 to 2003, and with the wines a bit less marked by their new wood both before and after this period. But throughout the history of the estate, Domaine Hubert Lignier Père et Fils has produced top division Burgundies of outstanding complexity, soil signature and potential for long-term cellaring.

60 HENRI JAYER THE VAULT III 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.

62 DOMAINE LEFLAIVE Joseph Leflaive was a very astute purchaser of vineyard land during the first two decades of the twentieth century, so that today the domaine s roster of vineyards is the greatest constellation of white Burgundy patrimony in the Côte de Beaune. 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.

63 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.

71 LIGER-BELAIR The current Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair was founded by Louis-Michel Liger-Belair only in 2000, but Liger-Belairs have been growing wine in Burgundy for nearly two centuries, since General Louis Liger-Belair purchased the Château du Vosne in Over the next century the domaine grew through marriages and purchases until it included the monopoles of La Romanée, La Tâche and La Grande Rue, and substantial holdings in many of the other greatest vineyards of the Côte de Nuits. Unfortunately the passing of Comte Henri Liger-Belair in 1924 and his widow the Comtesse in 1931 meant that the estate was to pass equally to their ten children, and the law of the time provided that for any of the heirs to receive their portion in land rather than cash, all must have reached legal adulthood. Two had not, and when three of the other siblings did not want to wait to receive their inheritance, there was no choice but to put the entire domaine up for sale. At that auction, Louis-Michel s grandfather Comte Michel and one brother joined to purchase what they could, and walked away with three pieces of vineyard land in Vosne-Romanée, the monopole La Romanée and parcels of Reignots and Chaumes. The wines were released under the names of various negociants until Louis-Michel began to take back vineyards to produce the wines himself. He continues to refine his practices, most recently with a complete conversion to biodynamic farming and to gentler presses, which he believes has improved the quality of the tannins, and has in just a decade solidly re-established the Liger-Belair name as one of the most reliable producers of top class Burgundy.

74 MÉO-CAMUZET Jean-Nicolas Méo of Domaine Méo-Camuzet has just celebrated his twentieth anniversary as a full-time vigneron, having first made wine at the family estate in the 1989 vintage. In many ways his two decades at the head of the domaine have dovetailed neatly with the renaissance that has swept through Burgundy in the same period of time, and it is rather extraordinary to see (particularly in a region so steeped in history) Domaine Méo-Camuzet rise to the very pinnacle of estates in Vosne-Romanée in just two short decades. This meteoric rise is directly reflective of Jean-Nicolas Méo s great talent and passion for the wines of Burgundy, coupled to the superb vineyard holdings that were secured by previous generations of the Méo and Camuzet families and the sagacity of the family to early on hire Henri Jayer to manage many of their vineyards and oversee much of their winemaking prior to Jean-Nicolas taking over the reins of the domaine.

75 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-great-grandfather, Frédéric Mugnier, had been a merchant of spirits in Dijon in the middle of the nineteenth century, and as his business in Dijon prospèred, 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.

80 DOMAINE PONSOT Domaine Ponsot in Morey St Denis has long been one of the most important domaines in the Côte d Or. 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.

84 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.

89 RAVENEAU Whichever way you look at these wines they stand up, be it vintage consistency, longevity, intensity of flavor, length and so on- they are just flat out incredible wines and there is nothing else quite like them anywhere. Raveneau s Chablis is now more than ever getting the recognition it deserves and the prices have risen accordingly, but they still represent great values compared to the other top white wines of Burgundy. The only downside is the minute quantities they are typically available in. Domaine Raveneau, today totaling around ten hectares in size, was formed by François Raveneau from small plots passed down from his father and father-in-law, along with a little land he purchased himself. Today the estate is run by his two sons, Jean-Marie and Bernard, with Jean-Marie taking care of the winemaking duties. Their cellars, as one might expect from a domaine of such modest acreage, are small and are discreetly located in the village. This is no hi-tech new world winery, but an old-school artisan setup. Dark, cool, and damp with a fine vaulted architectural ceiling, they set the scene appropriately. The secret to these wines is immense care in the vineyards. If ever the term hand-crafted could be applied to wine, it can be here. The wines spend approximately twelve months in barrel, but to retain the benchmark acidity and steeliness the barrels are usually seven to nine years in age, although some percentage of new oak is used. There is a light fining prior to bottling by hand and then the application of the trademark yellow wax capsules. Domaine Raveneau s vineyard holdings include: Les Clos, Blanchot, Valmur, Bougrots, Montée de Tonnerre, Butteaux, Vaillons, Chapelot, Montmains and Forest. Raveneau s wines are utterly unique, of unquestionable quality and can age as well as a Ramonet or DRC Montrachet. Even for those who don t typically drink white wine, Raveneau s epiphanous Chablis does not disappoint.

92 ROUGET Emmanuel began working with his uncle Henri (that s Henri Jayer of course) in the early 1980s. From 1985 he began releasing wines under his own label. He worked closely with his Henri Jayer until his passing and today has taken over much of the Henri Jayer portfolio including making the wines for Henri s brother, George. Rouget follows pretty closely the methods used by his late uncle, these include; two sortings of grapes (one in the vineyard and one in the cellars), cold pre-fermentation, 100 percent new oak and of course incredible attention to detail from vineyard to bottle. Needless to say Emmanuel has developed into a very serious winemaker over the years and today stands well and truly among the elite of Burgundy. No serious cellar is complete without them.

94 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 well-structured 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.

105 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.

117 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 Pommière, Le Pavillon, La Garde and Le Clos.

125 BRUNO GIACOSA Bruno Giacosa was born in the town of Nieve, within the Barbaresco DOCG. As young as thirteen,,, Bruno was assisting his father and grandfather in the cellars, and by the age of fifteen he was fully employed in the family firm. Bruno s grandfather, Carlo Giacosa, started the firm in the late nineteenth century when the wine was sold in demi-johns and not estate bottled. It was not until the 1960s that the Giacosas began to sell more wine in bottle than in demi-john! Up until 1964 the family did not offer any individual cru bottlings of either Barbaresco or Barolo, and following tradition in the region, they were labeled simply as Barolo or Barbaresco. It is noted that even as far back as Carlo Giacosa s time, the wines were vinified and kept separately in the cellars. The two vineyards which they primarily purchased from at that time, the Gallina and Santo Stefano, were only blended together for the Barbaresco Riserva Speciale and therefore all regular Barbaresco bottlings were in effect two distinct Barbarescos released under the same label. Like so many of the top producers in Piedmont, the Giacosas did not own any of the vineyards from which they made their wines. In 1982, they finally purchased a vineyard holding of their own, the 8.4 hectare Falletto vineyard in the village of Serralunga. This purchase in Barolo was followed up more than a decade later when the Giacosa family bought pieces in two of the greatest terroirs in Barbaresco, the Asili and Rabaja vineyards, in time to produce bottlings of the 1996 vintage. The style of Giacosa s wines are quite traditional, though the fermentations are not quite as long as many of their neighbors of the old school. Typically the maceration will now last from fourteen to twenty-four days for the Barbarescos and Barolos, which is quite a bit shorter than a producer such as Giuseppe Mascarello, whose Barolo Monprivato macerates for at least thirty days (down from sixty days in years past). Following this maceration the wines are racked into large casks called botti and aged for three to four years. The control of the winery is now in the capable hands of daughter Bruna Giacosa and Cellarmaster Dante Scaglione. There are no wines that match the prestige or class of Giacosa s in all of Barbaresco and only a select few which share the crown in Barolo.

126 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. Sori Tildin is more closed and concentrated; it is firm in texture and holds more in reserve. Sori 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. Wasserman, Italy s Noble Red Wines Lots 853 & 854 ZACHYS tel fax bid@zachys.com zachys.com 137

131 SPAIN PINGUS Pingus is a very new and hugely successful winery in Ribera del Duero. Run by a young, Danish born renowned winemaker, Peter Sisseck, the winery has produced astonishing results (and prices) in a very short period of time. Located in a winery said by John Radford, Spanish wine expert, to resemble a pink flying saucer, Pingus is part of an elite club of top Spanish wine producers. Yields are incredibly low, the wines are extremely concentrated, allocation is miniscule. Crianza and Reserva wines are made from ancient, gnarled Tempranillo vines. Sisseck is said to be a genius in the vineyard, where pruning has become an art form.

132 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.
