“Burgundy fields forever” nets
CHF 6.6 million
—

Geneva, June 21st 2021 —  “Burgundy Fields Forever”, a wine auction held by Baghera/wines on Sunday, June 20th in Geneva, netted CHF 6'651'196 | $ 7'206'570 | € 6'073'872 with 97% of lots sold. This was the first live sale of the 2021 season for the Geneva-based auction house, confirming the health of the market and the appetite of fans of exceptional wines from around the world. Baghera/wines noted record participation, including sales orders from telephone and online bidders, demonstrating the enthusiasm that characterized the live sales room reunion.

A secret collection, owned by master winemaker Henri Jayer's eldest daughter, Lydie, captured everyone’s attention at the “Burgundy Fields Forever” sale. Lot 135 – the sale’s top lot comprising 12 bottles of Domaine Henri Jayer, Vosne-Romanée Cros-Parantoux 1999 and estimated at CHF 180'000 – 360'000 – went under the hammer at CHF 561'200 (including the buyer's premium), well above its high estimate. The second highest sale was lot 132 which went for CHF 451'400. The top ten lots in the auction netted over CHF 2.5 million.

A joyful return to the auction room at Baghera/wines

Henri Jayer is the undisputed master of passionate winemakers, internationally renowned for his know-how and expertise. His wines, along with those selected by him, are among the most coveted in the world today.

In 2018, Baghera/wines made history at its iconic “ Domaine Henri Jayer, The Heritage ” sale, raising over CHF 34.5 million, thus making it the world’s biggest wine auction ever held.

A set of 12 bottles Domaine
Henri Jayer Vosne-Romanée Cros-Parantoux 1999 from Lydie’s personal collection sold for
CHF 561’200

Michael Ganne, Executive Director of Baghera/wines, said: “When I think of the Jayer family, there are essentially only happy moments that come to mind: the terroir, the genius, the vision, the rigorous discipline, the perfectionism and the know-how. Today I have grasped the full measure of these values upheld by Henri Jayer. It is with immense gratitude to Lydie – for her renewed confidence in Baghera/wines, and just three years after the historic 2018 sale – and with humility, that I have had the honor of offering the last bottles selected by the maestro Henri Jayer at auction this weekend. There will be no more from this source, and we are delighted to have been not only witnesses but designated custodians of this unique treasure and this historic moment.”

The other two collections presented in the sale, one directly from Switzerland and composed of impressive verticals from several large estates; along with the second, from the private cellar of a major Burgundy wine estate, composed of great so-called "mature" vintages from the Côte de Nuits, were also greatly appreciated by the audience and online bidders, with the majority of lots achieving well over their high estimates.

Burgundy fields… together!
—

Gathered under the same roof, iconic Geneva chefs Philippe Chevrier and Dominique Gauthier have created a three-star menu around Greater Burgundy’s two main grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and around Burgundy wines to be auctioned on June 20th 2021 at the Beau-Rivage Geneva.

Two chefs, four hands, three stars.
The presentation of this gourmet moment could end right there.

On this spring Saturday, the Châteauvieux** Restaurant, rated 19 out of 20 by Gault & Millau, will welcome you to a six-course menu highlighting great Burgundy wines that will be served according to food and wine pairings.
The nature of the wines will not be disclosed. No list will be produced and all bottles will be hidden to enable a blind tasting, allowing you to focus on the qualities of their wines while detecting all their mysteries. The selection by the Baghera/wines team will once again be composed of the greatest bottles from this fabulous French region, especially for you, dear epicureans.

“Everything that is Burgundian is accordingly universal”
Henri Vincenot
—

Panache and depth – these are for me the two immense qualities of Philippe Engel’s Clos-Vougeot.

Vintage after vintage, the Clos-Vougeot du Domaine is always beautifully generous, marked in its youth, by a great velvety quality, much elegance, a remarkable finesse and a bright fruitiness.

After a few years of ageing, it develops a complex bouquet with notes of spices, black fruits and undergrowth, elegantly combined in a wine with a round tannic structure and remarkable aromatic persistence. This Pinot with its distinctive subtle florality combined with the wonderful minerality of the Clos-Vougeot terroir, evolves admirably over the years, so rich and yet so pure.

“Let me take you down, ‘cause I am going to Burgundy fields forever…”
—

… The sound of an image, travelling through perceptions and smells that you can touch with your eyes... “and nothing to get hung up about”!

This catalogue naturally cannot encompass all the viticultural pleasures of Burgundy’s climats, but it is a journey that we suggest, the path of a dreamer through these ancestral plots... The three sections composing this catalogue are an ode to the Burgundy we love, to the respect we have for the winegrowers who work tirelessly so that this alchemy of the land and the vine can enchant our taste buds.

The first part of this catalogue from a Swiss cellar will introduce you to the pleasures of some famous Domaines with great verticals that will give you a better understanding of each climat according to its vintages. One easily recognizes the touch of a Burgundy enthusiast who wishes to share his love of the Côte de Nuits regions exploring the history of each of these parcels. This perfectly preserved cellar is a wonderful demonstration of his passion.

The second part offers an introduction to the pleasures of the great mature Burgundy vintages, some of which can no longer be found nowadays. These jewels from the private cellar of a great Burgundy domaine, comfortably installed in an old natural cellar in a somewhat damp, cool basement hadn’t left their terroir in decades. What a pleasure to chat to the owner of these veritable nectars, preserved by his ancestors, and tasted among family members. These are the stories that only wine growers can tell us... so far from and yet so close to present-day reality.

“ I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. When they wake up in the morning, that’s as good as they’re going to feel all day.”

The final chapter brings this catalogue to a close in a blend of simplicity and grandeur, with Henri Jayer’s legendary wines from his daughter Lydie’s private cellar. Henri Jayer himself chose and offered each of these bottles as gifts, or simply and quite humbly brought them to Lydie’s home, 20 minutes from Vosne-Romanée, for Sunday lunches with the family. As a fun nod to those well acquainted with Henri Jayer’s labels, although they came from Henri’s daughter’s private cellar, all of these bottles have benefited from new labels and capsules used in 2018 at our historic auction.

The highlight of the sale will surely be this Richebourg 1959, a wine that Henri Jayer hoped to open for the christening of his grandson Sébastien in 1971. He changed his mind because, to his taste, the wine wasn’t ready. The same thing happened at Sébastien’s wedding. Deemed too young, the wine would be kept for a subsequent occasion and in the end, a bottle was drunk at a Christmas family celebration. The ultimate bottle of Richebourg 1959 was kept in a corner… and you are fortunate enough to see it appear here, as the very last lot in this catalogue. Might it still be too young?!

It will in any case constitute a timeless memory for a legendary bottle that you will be able to taste while thanking Henri for having been so patient... and all while admiring these “Burgundy fields”... forever!

Warmest regards, Michael Ganne

An ode to Burgundy, notably celebrating Henri Jayer’s eldest daughter’s Private Collection
—

GENEVA, MAY 6th, 2021

Just three years after the historic “Henri Jayer, the Heritage” on June 17th 2018, catapulting it to European wine auction leader with a total of CHF 34.5 million, Baghera/wines is offering a new event-sale underpinned by the memory of Henri Jayer. A veritable ode to Burgundy, the next Baghera/wines sale, “Burgundy Fields Forever”, will be held in Geneva on Sunday June 20th 2021.

Three remarkable collections will be brought together on this occasion: one the work of a Swiss collector; the second comprising great Burgundy vintages from the private collection of a renowned Côte d'Or estate; and the third presenting the legendary wines offered by the illustrious winemaker to his eldest daughter, Lydie Jayer.

Once again celebrating the beautiful Burgundy wine region, this Baghera/wines sale proposes a journey in three acts through the heart of the Burgundy Climats.

A journey to the heart of Burgundy

— act 1 —

The private collection of a Swiss passionate

Skillfully put together by a seasoned collector, the first collection, coming directly from Switzerland, is composed of impressive verticals spreading over several large estates. This passionate Swiss has mainly been captivated by the Côte de Nuits vineyards and has determinedly built up his collection in line with his personal – unquestionably impeccable – tastes. The collection demonstrates an admirable knowledge of Burgundian Climats, and has also been preserved with care and rigorous discipline, resulting in a perfect state of conservation – a crucial factor for Baghera/wines.

Domaine Jean-Yves Bizot
Echézeaux 2006, 6 magnums

— act 2 —

The private cellar of a great Burgundian estate

The second collection, from the private cellar of a great Burgundy wine estate, presents great Côte de Nuits vintages regarded as "mature", most of which are considered unobtainable. This is a cellar in the traditional sense of the term that has both cherished and preserved these gems from the effects of time. In the purest tradition of winemakers' discoveries, these bottles have been handed down from generation to generation, with all the usual recommendations and all the winemakers’ know-how, whether it is a question of conservation, storage and very necessary, tasting.

Henri Jayer’s eldest daughter's private collection

June 17th, 2018. Baghera/wines made wine auction history with its “Henri Jayer, the Heritage” sale, totaling more than CHF 34.5 million and making it the largest wine auction in absolute terms to this day.

Baghera/wines is keeping it in the family with this uttermost collection in the “Burgundy Fields Forever” sale on June 20th 2021. Curated by the illustrious winemaker Henri Jayer's eldest daughter, this collection is the work of the maestro himself, who carefully selected these nectars for his daughter and grandson. This journey through the vintages chosen by this virtuoso, his consummate expertise with regards to terroirs as prestigious as Richebourg or Echézeaux leading to the creation of the fabled Cros-Parantoux, are all evident in these bottles which demonstrate his incredible flair and legendary mastery of Pinot.

Drawing upon his unique skills and sure instincts, Henri Jayer chose these bottles himself. All are from his own production and carry within them the seeds of perfection.

Like the bottles offered at Baghera's "Henri Jayer, the Heritage" and despite being from Lydie Jayer's private cellar, all bottles in this collection have received the same treatment, meaning they were capped and labelled in 2018.

"This is a wonderful anniversary for us to celebrate, a reminder that just three years ago we held the world’s most important wine auction. Today, with bottles from the personal cellar of Henri Jayer's eldest daughter, Lydie Jayer, we are once again shining the spotlight on the know-how and mastery, as well as the incredible talent of both the long-established and new winegrowers of Burgundy. The ‘Burgundy Fields Forever’ sale is an ode to Burgundy and its artisans. This exceptional region gives rise to rare nectars and the trust demonstrated by its winegrowers enables us to make these vintages available to wine lovers and collectors around the world”, said Michael Ganne and Julie Carpentier, founders of Baghera/wines and auctioneers.
