The world of wine is, above all, a story of encounters and friendship. I have known this collector—a great lover of fine wines and a discerning enthusiast—for over twenty years. When I told him about our 10th-anniversary sale on the 10th of May, his reaction was immediate: “What if I were to add a few bottles from my collection?”

Thus was born the idea of an additional sale, organised that very morning, as a “prelude” to the “Heartbeat” charity auction in the afternoon, dedicated to wines sourced directly from the domaine.

We were faced with the difficult task of making choices from a cellar boasting impeccable storage conditions, selecting only those wines that every collector dreams of one day having in their own cellar: legendary vintages—1811, 1838, 1857, 1858—right up to very recent years such as 2022, and in formats ranging from the standard bottle to the most spectacular large formats: 12 litres, 15 litres, and even 18 litres. A true connoisseur’s dream.

The first section will showcase an estate I am particularly fond of: Domaine Raveneau, with 60 lots spanning 15 vintages. When one considers the ageing potential of these wines, our taste buds are already rejoicing.

We will then move on to the quintessential Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, which will be represented by 17 selections spanning the vintages from 2006 to 2022. This selection includes 21 bottles of Romanée-Conti, over 100 bottles of La Tâche, as well as an extremely rare 6-litre bottle of 1979 Richebourg.

The section dedicated to the great Bordeaux wines is equally dreamlike: featuring the greatest châteaux, including a jeroboam of 1996 Lafite Rothschild, a double-magnum and an imperial of 1995 Mouton Rothschild, a spectacular 18-litre bottle of 2005 Cheval Blanc, magnums of 2019 Le Pin, not to mention a case of 1997 Petrus and a magnum of 2021.

To round off the selection of still wines, the mighty Yquem will take centre stage with an impressive vertical tasting ranging from 2008 all the way back to… 1857. Those who have already had the chance to taste aged Yquem know of its unique ability to blossom with time. And the palette of colours, perfectly typical of these wines, is in itself a feast for the eyes.

And because a grand tasting always deserves a touch of celebration, some magnificent bubbles will awaken the palate with a Cristal. Finally, we will finish with two very rare Malagas from 1811 & 1838, as well as a Fine Champagne cognac from the Emperor’s 1811 vintage.

So… are you ready for an unforgettable tasting?

Good luck with your bids!

The Bordeaux “en primeur” system is a unique marketing method that allows buyers to purchase wine before it is even bottled. Each spring, châteaux offer tastings of the latest vintage still in the aging process. This pivotal moment in the Bordeaux calendar allows négociants, clients, critics, and collectors from around the world to discover the wines in advance.

After evaluation and scoring, the wines are sold “en primeur”, giving buyers the opportunity to reserve their bottles at a price generally lower than what they would pay once the wine is bottled. This system enables estates to manage the sale of their stock before the production process is complete. The négociants of the Bordeaux marketplace secure their allocations and can also begin reselling to their clients. After 18 to 24 months of aging, the wines purchased “en primeur” are delivered to their buyers.
