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.

Bond's favorite…
—

Seriously? Who needs to be introduced?

Well, I won’t bother you with dry considerations such as the production capacity of 8,000,000 litres, making it the 2nd or 3rd production capacity in Scotland (oups, I just did!).

I would prefer to say that Macallan has imposed whisky among auction records for alcohol which were almost exclusively held by wines.

I would prefer to speak of the fortunate marketing and clear-sightedness for elegance that has lead to the collaboration with Lalique, a reference in the French luxury industry for glass-making and the superb and astonishing decanters born of it.

Not convinced? Ok, go and tell James Bond that his favorite whisky is not worth a bid!

Watch out, it is almost Wine o’clock!
