To evoke La Romanée is to conjure up one of the treasures of an age-old wine-growing Burgundy. To invoke La Romanée Memories is to personify, for all lovers of the great vintages of the Côte de Nuits, the harmonious alliance between man and an authentic terroir, extraordinarily unique and brimming with history.
1926, this is the number of souls that bear witness to the fruitful history between La Romanée and Bouchard Père & fils that we have the privilege of highlighting in this catalogue. A tribute to the devotion of a great three centuries-old house to the maturing of wines from a unique parcel of land with an eminently evocative name. This event — La Romanée Memories 1862 – 2005 — is also the story of a fascinating encounter between Bouchard Père & Fils and Baghera/wines, and the remarkable affinity of values, approach and respect for the past, as well as a concern for the preservation of the world’s œnological heritage. We feel honoured by the mission entrusted to us by Bouchard Père & Fils: to unveil this majestic collection to all Burgundy aficionados.
“ La Romanée Memories 1862 – 2005 ” is a unique opportunity to acquire one of the majestic bottles of this extraordinary 144-year-old vertical, bottles, magnums and jeroboam, with perfect provenance and an impeccable state of preservation.
