THIS ASTONISHING COLLECTION FEATURES, WITH DEPTH AND BREADTH, THE MOST TREASURED OF ALL GRAND CRU WHITE BURGUNDY. PRACTICALLY ALL THE GREAT GROWER-PRODUCERS OF THIS RARIFIED PARCEL OF THE COTE D'OR ARE REPRESENTED: RAMONET-PRUDHON, DOMAINE RAMONET, COMTES LAFON, DRC, LEROY, LEFLAIVE, MARQUIS de LAGUICHE, JADOT, PRIEUR, DELAGRANGE-BACHELET, BARON THENARD, AND COLIN!
THE EXTRAORDINARY LIQUID GEMS CONTINUE WITH THE LIKES OF 1982S FINEST MEDOC PREMIER CRUS AND TO TOP IT ALL, A BOTTLE OF D'YQUEM 1949, PARCEL LOTS OF D'YQUEM '67 & '75 AND FINALLY A BONNE BOUCHE OF TAYLOR 1955.
Property Of A Truely Appreciative and Wine Loving Gentleman and Lady
Recently removed by NYWines-Christie's staff specifically for this Historic Château Latour sale and carefully packed, then removed, from a custom built, walk-in, home cellar perfectly maintaining 55 degrees and 95 humidity.
This very personal collection was originally assembled, not for financial gain, but as a true wine connoisseur seeking to immortalize the memories of travel abroad, vineyards walked, and winemakers whose kindness inspired a passion for wine within himself and the wine loving enthusiasts of his family.
Having consumed many of the vintages listed under lots 108-156 our collector has reluctlantly come to the conclusion that ultimately these wines need to be shared and talked about before they past their prime, much as he and his family have done over these past decades.
The earliest examples of the family's collective enthusiasm begins with the 1978 Le Montrachet, Ramonet-Prudhon (cover illustration), a purchase taken at the cellar from none other than M. Ramonet himself! Incredibly, we are able to present his last remaining dozen bottles of this most rare wine.
All purchases were by the case and removed from original container for cellar rack storage. Those remaining in original wooden case have been noted in the lot description. The levels and color for these wines are a testament to proper storage and provenance and are some of the finest conditions I have witnessed over my career. All labels are near perfect in condition unless otherwise noted. Interestingly, many of the earlier Montrachets have what I can best describe as "original cave dirt" on the bottle itself giving one the impression of having just been retrieved from the winery's cellar in time for dinner!
