on the palate

Lots 177-178
Domaine Dujac
Clos de la Roche 2005
The opening on the palate is supple and silky, gentle and well-balanced. There’s something of tea in this Clos de la Roche, between dried flowers and finely unfolding tannins reminiscent of incense. This is a serious, dignified, and elegant wine — an almost perfect reflection of an already legendary vintage. While it’s ready to be enjoyed now, it can still slumber a little longer in your cellar, to the delight of both yourself and your guests!


L’attaque en bouche est souple et soyeuse, douce et équilibrée. Il y a quelque chose du thé dans ce Clos de la Roche, entre les fleurs séchées et les tannins qui se déploient tout en finesse rappelant l’encens. Nous sommes face à un vin sérieux, digne et élégant, reflet presque parfait d’un millésime déjà légendaire. S’il est prêt à être savouré, il peut encore sommeiller un peu dans votre cave pour votre plus grand plaisir et celui de vos convives !

Lot 46
Ulysse Collin
Champagne Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut, Les Pierrières (2016) 
There is no doubt that this is the work of a great winemaker: the attack is clean and precise, marked by yellow fruits and wet stones. On the palate, its salinity evokes sea spray, warm stones, or shellfish... Altogether, it offers a beautiful expression of terroir — a fluid, vibrant, and creamy-textured wine with remarkable length.


Sans nul doute il s’agit là d’un champagne de grand vigneron : L’attaque est franche et ciselée, sur les fruits jaunes et les pierres mouillées. A la dégustation sa salinité évoque les embruns marins, les pierres chaudes ou les coquillages... L’ensemble produit une très belle expression de terroir, un jus bien délié à la texture vibrante et crémeuse d’une longueur remarquable.

Lots 23-25
Jacques Selosse V.O.
Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut
This V.O. with its beautiful golden colour, offers a lovely aromatic complexity with subtle notes of citrus, spices, and hazelnuts. A vibrant acidity, with a well-controlled oxidative edge, wraps around a fairly dense juice with a rich, energetic texture. Good ageing potential.


Ce V.O. à la superbe robe dorée nous offre belle complexité aromatique aux subtiles notes d’agrumes, d’épices et de noisettes. Une belle acidité à la pointe oxydative bien maîtrisée vient enrober un jus assez dense, d’une texture riche et énergique. Bon potentiel de vieillissement.

Port Ellen “Special Release” 15-bottle collection

A legend of the whisky world, the Port Ellen distillery opened in 1824 and produced incredible peaty nectars until it tragically ceased production in 1983. Today, Port Ellen’s  name is coupled with highly-prized beverages of the word. Available stocks are dwindling¦ and prices rising, for two straightforward reasons: its scarcity and the unforgettable delicacy of its peaty aromas.

This 15-bottle collection includes the 15th first Port Ellen annual expressions sold by distillery owner Diageo as part of its Special Releases series, all distilled in 1978 or 1979. These bottles from the annual releases programme rarely come to auction. Thus, being able to purchase 15 releases is very unusual, and it should captivate interest from worldwide collectors.

White Bowmore 1964, 43yo

Nested alongside the breathtaking shore of Loch Indaal (Islay), the distillery was established in 1779 and still produces some of the finest single malt Scotch whiskies.

The iconic White Bowmore is the second of the limited trilogy edition, the first being the Black and the third the Gold. Distilled in November 1964 and bottled more than 43 years later in 2008 (only 732 bottles), this 43-year-old single malt matured in bourbon barrels, is a luscious and youthful nectar, offering redolences of tropical fruit, honey, and vanilla.

Karuizawa 1981, 33 yo

Opened in 1955 in Miyota, Japan, the Karuizawa distillery housed 4 small stills and imported barley from Scotland to create their whisky, which was then often aged in Sherry casks. In the 1970s its whisky became destined for both single malt as well as blends. In the late 1980s and 1990s, Karuizawa appeared as a single malt, and it began to pick up a reputation in Japan, although very little left the country.

Unfortunately, the whisky market was not as buoyant in Japan as today, and despite its popularity, in 2001 Karuizawa closed, the UK company Number One Drinks purchasing the remaining whisky stocks.

This 33yo old Karuizawa takes us on an oriental journey, from tea spices, caramel, oranges and citrus fragrances, to endearing camphor and kumquat aromas, ending on a lingering spicy and balanced finish like no other. Mythical!

Lagavulin 1976, 30 yo

Situated in a small bay near the south coast of Islay near the ruins of Dunyveg Castle, Lagavulin distillery is thought to be one of the longest established distilleries in the country. Peated malt, slow distillation and long maturation together ensure Lagavulin develops a complex, rich, peaty character recognized world-wide as one of the finest distilleries on Islay Island.

This highly sought-after bottle of Lagavulin, the oldest official release until the 37 year old from the same vintage came along  was distilled in 1976 and released within Diageo's Super Premium selection back in 2006. It caused a storm when it came out. A must-have on every serious whisky collector’s wish list !

see lot

Brora 1977, 24 yo

Originally known as Clynelish, the sadly long lost Brora distillery became a victim of its own success when a new distillery was built alongside to increase capacity on the eve of the downturn of the late 70s/early 80s. The new distillery took over the name, the old distillery was renamed and, business moving at idle speed, it ceased activity in 1983.

This rare collectable bottle from the silent distillery Brora is a limited edition: The Rare Malts are a series of Diageo cask-strength releases, designed to show off some of the lesser-known whiskies in its empire. This 24 years old single malt whisky was distilled in 1977 and bottled at natural cask strength in October 2001. A huge and powerful malt with savorous, waxy and coastal notes with a meaty intensity. Another must-have!
