Of the 1999 Domaine François Gaunoux Beaune 1er Cru “Le Clos des Mouches”,Noted importer Polaner Selections writes writes: “Domaine Michel Gaunoux, first started in 1885 by Alexandre Gaunoux, has a long, enviable track record for producing brilliant Pommards (not to mention superb Cortons and Beaunes), that age gracefully and develop complexity as profound as all but the very top handful of grand cru terroirs of the Côte de Nuits. Given the legacy of great wines this estate has produced over the course of the last hundred and twenty years, it is remarkable that the wines
of Michel Gaunoux are not better known, but the domaine prefers to keep a low profile whil

It boasts an opaque blue/purple color along with a gorgeous bouquet of charcoal, incense, truffles, blackberry jam, black currants, raspberries and flowers. While enormous in the mouth, the limestone soils in which the grapes are grown give the wine good freshness as well as laser-like clarity and precision. Amazing to taste, this massive, super-concentrated powerhouse comes across as ethereal and almost feminine despite its extravagant fruit, density and richness. It is a modern day legend for sure!

Untold quantities of blackberries, cherries, spices, and hints of new toasty oak can be discerned in its layered character. This powerful yet feminine wine is loaded with ripe tannin.

Full-bodied, voluptuously textured and stunningly pure, this great Bordeaux is one of the vintage’s superstars. The finish lasts 40-45 seconds in this majestic, multidimensional St. Emilion. It should continue to drink well for 10-15 years, but why wait?” (08/2014)

Of the 2010 Pape Clément, Pessac-Léognan,Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate writes: “I certainly underrated the 2010 Pape Clement from barrel, rating it only 93-95+. (Thank God I put a ‘plus’ there!) Having tasted it four times in Bordeaux, and rating it perfect three times and 99 the fourth time, this final blend of 51% Merlot, 47.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1.5% Petit Verdot is perfection in a bottle. Tipping the sca
les at 14.5% natural alcohol, there are 8,000 cases of it. I

2004 Bouchard Pere et Fils Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru “La Cabotte” (1.5L)
$320.00.
Auction Ending on September 08, 2015 1:30 PM PST
Bid on this magnum of 2004 Bouchard Pere et Fils Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru “La Cabotte” (1.5L) ((93-96BH), 96WE, 94ST). Wine Enthusiast: “This comes from high up in the Chevalier-Montrachet vineyard, from vines surrounding a small workers shed, the ‘cabotte.’ It is the better of the two bottlings from this vineyard by Bouchard, although ‘better’ here is like differentiating between two stars on top form. It has great poise, so although the richness is there, it is shot through with acidity and citric flavors that underline the huge, ripe fruit. Age for 10 years for best results.” (12/2006)
2008 Bouchard Père et Fils Le Corton Grand Cru
$450.00.
Auction Ending on September 05, 2015 5:30 PM PST
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2008 Bouchard Père et Fils Le Corton Grand Cru ((92-95BH), 94RP, 92WS, 90ST). Allen Meadows – Burghound: “Relatively generous but not dominant wood intrudes upon the very ripe plum, cassis and floral aromas lead to extremely rich, opulent and palate drenching broad-scaled flavors that possess more dry extract than any wine to this point and possibly in the entire range, all wrapped in a balanced, long and ultra serious finish. Note the suggested drinking window date and I’m not completely convinced that is necessarily long enough.” (04/2010)
2010 Brane-Cantenac, Margaux
$115.01.
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2010 Brane-Cantenac, Margaux (95RP, 94JS, 94WE, 93WS, 91ST). Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “With a gorgeously evolved, extremely complex bouquet of forest floor, spring flowers, lead pencil shavings and red and black currants, this full-bodied, dense, ruby/plum/purple-colored wine hits the palate with an opulent, fleshy, full-bodied richness, silky tannins, and a very layered, profoundly concentrated style that is, at the same time, both powerful and sublime. This gorgeous wine from proprietor Andre Lurton will benefit from 3-5 years of cellaring and evolve for 25-30 years. (95+) ” (02/2013)
2007 Brocard Chablis Grand Cru “Les Preuses”
$300.00.
Auction Ending on September 08, 2015 2:30 PM PST
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2007 Brocard Chablis Grand Cru “Les Preuses” (94BH, 90RP, 90ST). Allen Meadows – Burghound: “A great Preuses is a “consolidator”, meaning that it assembles many aspects of what makes great Chablis and this has it all with a wonderful combination of aromas including green fruit, iodine, oyster shell, sea breeze and saline elements trimmed in a bit of wood that are all reflected by the gorgeously complex, rich, full and generous medium-bodied flavors that are naturally sweet on the dry extract coated mid-palate yet finish with a bone dry finale. A wonderfully classy and ultra pure wine that is strikingly well balanced.” (10/2009)
2009 Bruno Clavelier “Les Rognet” Corton Vieilles Vignes
$480.00.

Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2009 Bruno Clavelier “Les Rognet” Corton Vieilles Vignes (96WS, 92ST). Wine Spectator: “A super Corton, this boasts wild berry, macerated cherry and chalky, mineral flavors. Intense and succulent, with a silky texture and terrific energy that keep it vibrant through the long, long finish, where the tannins and mineral vie for attention. Best from 2015 through 2030.” (02/2012)
2010 Bruno Clavelier Gevrey-Chambertin “Les Corbeaux” Vieilles Vignes
$360.00.
Auction Ending on September 09, 2015 1:30 PM PST
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2010 Bruno Clavelier Gevrey-Chambertin “Les Corbeaux” Vieilles Vignes ((90-93BH), (90-92ST)). Allen Meadows – Burghound: “While the nose is mildly troubled by noticeable reduction, it’s not so heavy that the solid ripeness of the fruit cannot be discerned. There is excellent size and weight to the medium-weight flavors that are blessed with fine phenolic ripeness of the supporting tannins on the very earthy, racy and firm finish. I very much like the intensity and underlying tension though note that this will require plenty of cellar time.” (01/2012)
2009 Bruno Clavelier Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru “Aux Cras” Vieilles Vignes
$540.00.
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2009 Bruno Clavelier Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru “Aux Cras” Vieilles Vignes (93BH, (91-93ST), 91WS). Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar: “Deep red-ruby. Slightly reduced aromas of violet, licorice, menthol and bitter chocolate. Juicy, tight and lively, with a strong underlying rocky quality providing energy. The firmly tannic finish leaves the palate vibrating. I’m not sure if I would have identified this superb wine blind as a 2009.” (01/2011)

Auction Ending on September 07, 2015 11:30 AM PST
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2010 Canon, St-Emilion (96JS, 95WE, 93WS, 92ST, 91RP). James Suckling: “Wonderful nose with strawberries, cherry blossom, and vanilla. The red opens up with blueberries, milk chocolate and sweet licorice. Full and juicy on palate with pure dark fruit and velvety tannins. So nicely layered texture and long in the finish with red fruit and crushed chalk. The texture is superb.” (11/2013)
2000 Canon, St-Emilion (OWC)
$840.00.
Bid on this 12-bottle lot of 2000 Canon, St-Emilion (OWC – 94JS, 93WS, 90RP) in original wood. James Suckling: “I love the chocolate and blackberry character, with hints of cedar. Nicely perfumes. Full and very creamy, with soft tannins and a long finish. The tannins complement the creamy texture perfectly, wait two more years to pull the cork. 2012.” (05/2012)

Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2005 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape (96WS, 95RP, 94ST, 92W&S). Wine Spectator: ” *Ranked #8 in the Top 100 Wines of 2008 & a Collectibles designation* Really dense and locked up now, this is packed with dark fig, currant and blackberry fruit shrouded by layers of tar, hot stone, bittersweet licorice and espresso. The long, dense finish has a great tug of iron buried within it. Best from 2011 through 2030.” (04/2008)
2008 Château de Puligny-Montrachet Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru
$240.00.
Auction Ending on September 09, 2015 1:00 PM PST
1975 Cheval Blanc, St-Emilion
Auction Ending on September 03, 2015 3:00 PM PST
Bid on this bottle of 1975 Cheval Blanc, St-Emilion (95ST, 90RP). Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar: “Bright ruby-red with a hint of garnet. Enticing floral nose offers very pure raspberry and red cherry aromas, complicated by tobacco and bay leaf notes. Then sweet, dense and smooth in the mouth, with rich red cherry, plum and peppery flavors. Finishes with still chewy but noble tannins and a trace of heat. A great Cheval Blanc that is more massive than usual, showing plenty of concentrated, complex flavors and a wonderfully rich texture. In this vintage, Cheval Blanc benefited from its earlier ripening soils, which allowed the grapes to be harvested at optimal phenolic ripeness, something that eluded other Bordeaux estates that may have picked too early. The harvest took place from September 26 to October 8. This was the first vintage of Cheval Blanc ever sold en primeur. ” (10/2011)
2005 Clos Fourtet, St-Emilion
Auction Ending on September 08, 2015 12:00 PM PST
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2005 Clos Fourtet, St-Emilion (98RP, 95WS, 94WE, 92ST, 92W&S). Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “Clos Fourtet is on a roll, having produced a stunning wine in 2003, and an even more brilliant effort in 2005. Stephane Derenoncourt, the consulting oenologist, has plenty with which to work given the fact that this is a relatively large vineyard (50 acres) planted with 85% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc as well as a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon. The inky/blue/purple-colored 2005 boasts an exceptional perfume of acacia flowers, blackberry and blueberry liqueur, graphite, scorched earth, and background oak. The wine possesses a full-bodied texture and abundant quantities of stunningly pure black fruits. The result is a sumptuous St.-Emilion of great concentration, intensity, and overall balance. This prodigious effort looks set for 25-30 years of evolution. Utterly awesome!” (04/2008)
2010 Clos Fourtet, St-Emilion
$110.00.
Bid on this bottle of 2010 Clos Fourtet, St-Emilion (98RP, 95WS, (93-94JS), 94ST, 94WE, 91CG, 91DC). Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “The wine has an opaque blue/black color and abundant notes of forest floor, spring flowers, black raspberry and blueberry liqueur in the aromatics along with hints of espresso and white chocolate. The wine is dense, full, rich, unctuously textured and very full-bodied, with its extravagant glycerin, fruit and extract covering the wine’s somewhat tannic structure. This is a bigger, more restrained and structured wine than the outrageously flamboyant and prodigious 2009. (RP)” (02/2013)
1989 Clos l’Eglise, Pomerol
$55.00.
Bid on this bottle of 1989 Clos l’Eglise, Pomerol. Before Robert Parker’s influence in Bordeaux became so pronounced, wineries like Clos l’Eglise produced less extracted wines with a less fruit forward profile. The 1989 is a delicate silky wine with herb, cedar notes, and even some tomato flavors. A mild mannered Bordeaux that doesn’t overwhelm the palate. If you’ve an aversion to the modern move towards extraction and fruit, then this is the wine for you.
1999 Comtes Lafon Monthelie 1er Cru “Les Duresses”
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 1999 Comtes Lafon Monthelie 1er Cru “Les Duresses” (90WS).

Of the 2002 Domaine Maillard Père & Fils Corton Grand Cru Blanc,Wine Spectator writes: “Youthful, reticent and compact, with a well of apple, earth and stone flavors waiting to be tapped.

Of the 1999 Joseph Drouhin Corton,Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate writes: “The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Corton has a wonderful nose packed with dense layers of assorted red fruits. Medium-bodied, rich, and sweet, it reveals candied cherries, raspberries, and blueberries in its medium-bodied, velvety-textured character. This is a lovely, powerful, concentrated wine with outstanding depth of fruit and a long, supple, jammy raspberry-packed finish. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2011. ” (06/2001)

Of the 2002 Domaine Louis Latour Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru,Wine Enthusiast writes: “Immense power lies behind the initially seductive nature of this wine. It is powerful, ripe, complex, full of tropical fruits, and still at first it seems to be restraining this intensity. Give it 10 years and it will be mind-blowing. ” (09/2004)

Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a solid core of fruit. This goes on and on on the palate. The essence of class and refinement. Relatively good value, considering the superb quality.

1988 Cos d’Estournel, St-Estèphe

Bid on this bottle of 1966 Cos d’Estournel, St-Estèphe. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “A very good 1966, yet not top flight, the Cos d’Estournel is medium to dark ruby, with some browning. It has very good concentration in the somewhat lean, austere character of the vintage, and plenty of tannin in the finish.” (01/1998)
1989 Coste-Caumartin Pommard 1er Cru “Clos de la Boucherottes”
Auction Ending on September 06, 2015 3:30 PM PST

Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2009 Domain Francois Bertheau Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru “Les Charmes” (92BH). Allen Meadows – Burghound: ” A ripe, perfumed and airy nose features notes of raspberry, cherry and a hint of plum that is in keeping with the equally ripe, rich, charming and flashy medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent complexity, all wrapped in a balanced, intense and lingering finish. This is really quite forward even for the vintage yet it possesses reasonably good verve and I am especially impressed by the depth this displays, particularly on the balanced and intense finale. Lovely juice.” (01/2012)
2009 Domaine Arnaud Ente Meursault “La Seve du Clos”
Bid on this bottle of 2009 Domaine Arnaud Ente Meursault “La Seve du Clos” ((90-93BH), 93ST). Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar: “Pale yellow with a green tinge. Tangy aromas of lemon and powdered stone. This has the precision, penetration and impression of saline dry extract of a topnotch 2010, but in a slightly fatter and sweeter package. Wonderful intensity and cut here. The very long finish displays bracing lift. Another wine that transcends its vintage. (st)” (09/2011)
2008 Domaine Bouchard Père et Fils Chambertin Grand Cru

Suave and sweet, with pronounced minerality giving definition to the currant and floral flavors. A deep wine with a long, perfumed but slightly austere back end. Prost finds this difficult to taste today, noting that it’s “a late ripener.” (04/2010)

The reticent but pure nose delivers high-pitched notes of rose petal, violet, mint and pungent minerality. Perfumed and penetrating in the mouth, with an insidious subtle sweetness and a rocky precision to the flavors of red fruits and flowers. Finishes with a firm acid spine and toothcoating tannins but no impression of hardness. This calls for seven or eight years of cellaring.” (03/2009)
2009 Domaine Bruno Clavelier Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru “Les Beaux Monts” Vieilles Vignes
Auction Ending on September 03, 2015 5:30 PM PST
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2009 Domaine Bruno Clavelier Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru “Les Beaux Monts” Vieilles Vignes ((91-94ST), 93WS, 91BH). Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar: “Saturated medium red. Sappy raspberry and crushed rock on the nose and palate, complicated by notes of spices, herbs, pepper and flowers. Sweet but rocky in the mouth, with excellent concentration and energy. Less sweet and more solid than the Brulees, with a very long, rising finish featuring noble tannins.” (01/2011)
2010 Domaine Chevillon Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru “Les Chaignots”
$150.00.
Auction Ending on September 09, 2015 2:30 PM PST
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2010 Domaine Chevillon Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru “Les Chaignots” ((90-93BH), (91-93RP), (89-91ST)). Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Les Chaignots shows the more delicate, finessed side of Nuits in its red cherries, flowers and spices. The influence of the location of this site, on the northern side of Nuits abutting Vosne, comes through in the wine’s elegance. Firm tannins suggest the wine will need at least a few years in bottle to soften. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030. (AG)” (02/2012)
2003 Domaine Comte Armand Pommard 1er Cru “Clos des Epeneaux”
$65.00.
Auction Ending on September 07, 2015 3:30 PM PST
Bid on this bottle of 2003 Domaine Comte Armand Pommard 1er Cru “Clos des Epeneaux” (90BH). Allen Meadows – Burghound: “The nose is very ripe yet there is solid freshness and no sense of prune or stewed notes, indeed it’s best described as extract of ripe pinot. The big, very concentrated, plumy flavors are blessed with buckets of pinot extract that buffer the firm tannic spine and extend out to a hugely long finish. This is definitely an atypical effort yet one that is most impressive anyway.” (04/2006)
1972 Domaine Comte de Vogüé Musigny Grand Cru “Cuvée Vieilles Vignes”

Auction Ending on September 05, 2015 7:00 PM PST
Bid on this bottle of 1972 Domaine Comte de Vogüé Musigny Grand Cru “Cuvée Vieilles Vignes” (91BH, 91RP). Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “For me, this continues to be the last great vintage for the Comte de Vogue. This wine displays an explosive nose of smoked meats, tea, herbs, and black fruits. In the mouth, it is rich and graceful, full of ripeness, with fresh acidity, and soft tannins in the finish. Fully mature for over a decade, it exhibits no signs of losing its fruit or zestiness. Drink it over the next 8-10 years. (RP)” (04/1992)
1999 Domaine Comtes Lafon Volnay 1er Cru “Clos des Chênes”

Bid on this bottle of 1999 Domaine Comtes Lafon Volnay 1er Cru “Clos des Chênes” (91BH, (88-91RP), 91ST, 90WS). Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “The 1999 Volnay Clos Des Chenes is ruby-colored and has shy cherry and candied raspberry aromas. It is well-made, with zesty blackberry and currant-like fruit. Light to medium-bodied and possessing a firm, sweet, tannin-filled finish, this is a wine to drink between 2003 and 2010. ” (06/2001)
2007 Domaine de Montille Volnay 1er Cru “Les Champans” (1.5L)

Bid on this 3-magnum lot of 2007 Domaine de Montille Volnay 1er Cru “Les Champans” (1.5L) ((90-92BH), (89-92ST)). Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar: “Medium red. Sexy aromas of redcurrant, strawberry and smoked meat. Chewy, firmly built and rather backward, with a saline quality to the spice and mineral flavors. Showing little in the way of easy sweetness today but finishes with excellent breadth and fine-grained tannins.” (03/2009)

Auction Ending on September 08, 2015 4:30 PM PST
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2009 Domaine des Chezeaux (Ponsot) Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru (94BH). Allen Meadows – Burghound: “This is notably fresher than the Chapelle with a strikingly elegant and highly complex nose that displays perfumed and notably ripe red currant and cassis aromas that are liberally laced with warm earth and spice hints. There is good intensity and detail to the opulently textured medium weight plus flavors that are blessed with a seemingly endless reserve of sap on the gorgeously long finish. This is a really impressive effort and if the palate complexity can eventually match that of the nose, this should be able to achieve, or perhaps even exceed, the upper end of my predicted range. (Ponsot)” (01/2012)
2008 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault 1er Cru “Charmes”
$924.00.
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2008 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault 1er Cru “Charmes” ((91-94BH)). “Outstanding” and 91-94 points Allen Meadows: “A discreet but not invisible touch of oak frames the ripe orchard fruit aromas, particularly peach and apricot, as well as pretty floral notes. The fresh, intense and notably sweet flavors possess excellent intensity and vibrancy before culminating in a generous and mouth coating finish that displays real verve. I really like the sense of underlying tension and the abundant amount of dry extract confers an almost chewy quality on the gorgeously long finish. In a word, terrific.” (Tasted: Jun 01, 2010)

Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2009 Domaine Didier Dagueneau “Silex” Pouilly-Fumé ((93-94RP)). Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “From an enclave just outside the cuverie in Saint Andelain, the Dagueneau 2009 Blanc Fume de Pouilly Silex delivers an almost inordinate diversity of floral, herbal, citrus (predominately grapefruit), and pit-fruit (predominately nectarine) elements, with the bitterness of fruit pits, smoky pungency of red currant and crushed stone, as well as notes of shrimp shell reduction and iodine inflecting a long, bittersweet, yet at the same time vibrant, buoyant finish. This silken textured seducer should gain with time in bottle and be worth following for ten or a dozen years. (DS)” (08/2010)

Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2008 Domaine Drouhin-Laroze Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru ((90-92BH)). Allen Meadows – Burghound: “A discreet touch of wood frames elegant, dense and very pretty red berry and earth-infused aromas that introduce round, pure and finely detailed flavors that offer a subtle minerality on the impressively long finish. This too will require due patience.” (01/2010)
2010 Domaine Drouhin-Laroze Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2010 Domaine Drouhin-Laroze Clos Vougeot Grand Cru ((92-94BH)). Allen Meadows – Burghound: “A slightly riper blend of red and blue pinot fruit, violets and plenty of warm earth also suffuses the rich, full-bodied and very serious broad-shouldered flavors. This enjoys an abundance of tannin-buffering dry extract that confers a sappy texture to the driving, complex and hugely long finish. This is a first-rate example of this uneven appellation and well worth considering.” (01/2012)

Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2008 Domaine Drouhin-Laroze Clos Vougeot Grand Cru ((90-93BH)). Allen Meadows – Burghound: “Strong reduction blocks an assessment of the nose but the supple yet powerful and broad-shouldered flavors possess plenty of the typically young Clos de Vougeot austerity. This is impressively long even though it is not quite as dense as the best of these grands crus. Still, ample patience is advised.” (01/2010)
1993 Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe “La Crau” Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Bid on this bottle of 1993 Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe “La Crau” Châteauneuf-du-Pape (90RP). Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “In 1993, Vieux-Telegraphe was able to harvest virtually all of its crop at sugar levels that produced a wine of 14% alcohol. The outstanding 1993 reveals an impressively saturated dark ruby/purple color, and a spicy, Provencal herb, pepper, black-cherry and raspberry-scented nose with a touch of licorice. Full-bodied, with firm tannin and structure (reminiscent of the 1989), as well as layered richness, this Chateauneuf du Pape has 10-15 years of aging potential. Last tasted 8/96. (RP)” (01/1997)

Bid on this 4-bottle lot of 2005 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe “La Crau” Châteauneuf-du-Pape (95RP, 95WS, 93ST). Wine Spectator: ” * Highly Recommended and #5 in Top 100 Wines of 2008 * This is dense and chewy, but not tiring to drink, thanks to fresh acidity and an edgy, gravelly feel that drives the blackberry, currant and sweet spice notes. The long finish has great briary grip, with notes of garrigue and hot stone checking in. Best from 2010 through 2030.” (04/2008)

Bid on this 4-bottle lot of 2006 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe “La Crau” Châteauneuf-du-Pape (93WS, 92RP, 92ST). Wine Spectator: “A very grippy style, with lots of sweet tapenade, tobacco, hot stone and braised chestnut notes weaving through a core of dark currant and fig fruit. There’s a nice twinge of lavender on the structured finish. For the cellar. Best from 2010 through 2028.” (11/2008)

Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2002 Domaine Dugat-Py Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru ((95-98RP), 94BH, 94ST). Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “Reminiscent of liquid satin, the candied black fruit, rose, and spice-scented 2002 Charmes-Chambertin seduces with its mouth-coating, harmonious personality. Loads of dark cherries, blackberries, spices, and raspberries are found in this generous, awesomely ripe wine. ‘Sweet, sweet, sweet’ read my notes… Decadently powerful yet supple, and armed with great purity, it will be at its finest between 2007-2017.

2009 Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
$1,125.00.
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2009 Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche Grand Cru ((93-95BH), 91ST). 93-95 Burghound: “This is also intensely floral with subtle spice notes on the relatively cool but ripe nose of primarily red berry fruit and wet stone aromas. There is excellent detail to the tautly muscular and firm yet reasonably refined broad-shouldered flavors that possess superb length. The amount of mid-palate sap is genuinely remarkable and this will permit early accessibility yet it will be capable of aging effortlessly. An impressive effort.” (01/11) 91 Tanzer: “Bright, deep red. Pure but reticent aromas of raspberry, mocha, graphite and musky spices. Bigger and broader than the Clos-Saint-Denis; very ripe, chocolatey and rich but not quite as vibrant as the best vintages of this wine. Builds nicely on the finish, which features broad, fine-grained, nicely buffered tannins and a distinct medicinal reserve.”
2011 Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

Auction Ending on September 08, 2015 12:30 PM PST
Bid on this bottle of 2011 Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche Grand Cru (94AG, 94BH, 94ST, 91RP). Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar: “Good dark red. Musky, peppery aromas of red cherry, rose petal and underbrush. Silky, rich and fine-grained, with ineffable flavors of red berries, cherry, peppery herbs and spices spreading out to saturate the palate without leaving any impression of weight. Wonderfully suave, energetic wine with outstanding complexity and finishing breadth. This wine was going through an awkward stage when I tried it from barrel a year ago but has turned into a swan.” (03/2014)

Bid on this bottle of 2011 Domaine Dujac Echézeaux Grand Cru ((93-95AG), (92-94ST), 93BH, 91RP). Antonio Galloni: “Dujac’s 2011 Échézeaux is another of the more reticent wines in the range. A firm vein of tannin frames the fruit in this intensely structured Burgundy. Savory herbs, rose petals, mint, sweet red berries and licorice are all woven together beautifully. The 2011 is terrific, but it is going to need considerable time. Proprietor Jeremy Seysses adds that this parcel was heavily affected by millerandage. This is a super-finessed wine from Dujac. All it needs is time. (AG)” (03/2014)

Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2011 Domaine Dujac Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Aux Combottes” (92BH, 90AG, 90RP). Allen Meadows – Burghound: “Here the fruit is more deeply pitched with excellent nuance to the well-layered blue and black pinot fruit that also evidences hints of violets, earth and wet stone. There is a clean and polished mouth feel (in the best sense) to the energetic and saline-infused flavors that are shaped by ripe tannins on the mouth coating, dusty and balanced finish. As it often is, this is a wine of finesse yet it doesn’t lack for character and depth.” (01/2014)

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2009 Domaine Dujac Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru “Aux Malconsorts” ((92-95BH), (92-94RP), 92ST). 92-95 and “Sweet Spot Outstanding” from Allen Meadows: “A highly spiced nose speaks of anise, clove and violet nuances on the pretty mix of blue and black pinot fruit and plum aromas. The rich, full-bodied, concentrated and powerful medium weight plus flavors possess a seductive and velvety mouth feel, all wrapped in a very firm and explosively long finish. This should be wonderful in due time though note well that this will require every bit of 15 years of cellar time.” (Burghound 01/11) 92-94 in Parker’s Wine Advocate: “The 2009 Vosne-Romanee Aux Malconsorts blossoms on the palate with inimitable grace in its bright red fruit. Floral notes appear later, adding lift and volume. The Malconsorts possesses dazzling inner perfume, with clean, saline notes framing the exquisite finish. This is one of the
more generous of the 1er Crus at Dujac, and always one of my personal f

Allen Meadows – Burghound: “Extremely ripe with mocha, earth and roasted coffee aromas and sappy, robust, tannic yet elegant and classy flavors coupled with stupendous length and intensity. Ironically for a vigorous, forceful Corton, this manages to retain a refined, harmonious personality. Splendid quality here and this should age for at least two decades.” (01/2003)

Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2009 Domaine Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Les Cazetiers” (94WS, 93BH, 92WE). Wine Spectator: “A seductive style, with sweet spice, sandalwood, floral and cherry aromas and flavors allied to a silky texture. It’s all beautifully balanced and ends with refined, integrated tannins for focus. Excellent length and freshness. Best from 2014 through 2030. ” (03/2012)
2010 Domaine Faury Côte-Rôtie
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2010 Domaine Faury Côte-Rôtie (93ST). Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar: “Inky ruby. Smoke-accented cherry, cassis and blueberry on the nose, with hints of olive, violet and dark chocolate. Big, palate-coating and chewy, with good depth to its dark berry and floral pastille flavors. Shows alluring sweetness on the finish, with supple tannins adding support and shape. More fleshy and open-knit than the Saint-Joseph Vieilles Vignes, which will likely outlive this wine.

2006 Domaine Francois Bertheau Chambolle-Musigny “Les Amoureuses”
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2006 Domaine Francois Bertheau Chambolle-Musigny “Les Amoureuses” (92BH, 92RP). Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “Animal and woodsy notes mingle with red fruits and holly in the nose of Bertheau’s 2006 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses. Resinous, saline, and tar-like elements join on the fine-grained palate and follow into a long finish underlain by low-toned meaty and mossy flavors that crystallizes this wine’s intrigue. I would give it 2-3 years of rest before savoring it over the subsequent half dozen. (DS)” (12/2009)
1996 Domaine Francois Lamarche La Grande Rue Grand Cru Monopole
$420.00.
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 1996 Domaine Francois Lamarche La Grande Rue Grand Cru Monopole (92BH). Allen Meadows – Burghound: “Here the nose has turned almost completely secondary and is actually, and unusually so for the vintage, a bit animale in character with ripe and spicy sous bois notes that introduce very rich and concentrated flavors that are vibrant, punchy and detailed while exhibiting an attractive touch of minerality on the strikingly long finish. This is an impressively constituted ’96 with solid phenolic maturity and the overall impression is a wine that is still relatively youthful.” (04/2008)
2006 Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru “Les Cras”
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2006 Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru “Les Cras” ((91-93RP), 92BH, 92ST). Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: ” Barthod’s 2006 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras was happily untouched by hail and constitutes a generous 16 barrels. As usual, it displays (from barrel) the most concentration in its collection, and in this case along with that goes a fine sense of clarity to floral and mineral nuances. Fresh, tartly-edged red currant and red raspberry are allied to attractively contrasting chalk, stone, iodine, and toasted pecan. A sorbet-like projection of fruit on the palate is offered continued counterpoint by piquant nuttiness, cyanic fruit pit, and complex mineral impressions, whose impingement reinforces the sense of tannins that are fine-grained and healthy. This finishes with genuine (brash brass) fanfare sounding off of stone. I would plan to give it 2-3 years of rest in bottle, and expect it
to perform well for at least a decade. (DS)” (12/2009)

Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2005 Domaine Henri Boillot Volnay 1er Cru “Les Fremiets” (93BH, 91ST). Allen Meadows – Burghound: ” *Sweet spot. Outstanding!* This too is quite ripe yet slightly fresher with airy and high-toned red Pinot fruit that gives way to detailed and intensely mineral-infused flavors that retain a lovely sense of purity and refinement on the balanced, long and penetrating finish. This is an exercise in harmony and transparency. In a word, terrific.” (04/2007)

Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2005 Domaine Humbert Frères Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Poissenot” (93WS, 92BH, 92ST). Wine Spectator: “A rich, powerful Gevrey, packed with damson, huckleberry, leather and spice flavors. Concentrated and pure, with persistence and a mineral streak on the finish. Best from 2012 through 2025.” (05/2008)

Auction Ending on September 06, 2015 6:30 PM PST
Bid on this magnum of 2002 Domaine Lamarche La Grand Rue Grand Cru (1.5L) (92BH). Allen Meadows – Burghound: “A reserved, even restrained nose that is elegant, pure and ripe as well as still largely if not completely primary with its spicy black fruit aromas that are trimmed in noticeable wood. There is a lovely mouth feel to the rich, full and naturally sweet medium weight plus flavors blessed with solid dry extract levels, all wrapped in a vibrant finish blessed with subtle minerality and impeccable balance. I really like the definition here and there is some backend wood remaining, it does not compromise the overall sense of equilibrium. This is built to age and should easily last for 30 years. Tasted several times recently with mostly consistent notes save for one very dull bottle that never did open up. Those who do not care for oak should note that there is enough here that it is not subtle but as noted, does not change the wine texturally. Tr

$1,110.00.
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2010 Domaine Leflaive Bâtard Montrachet Grand Cru (97RP, (94-96BH), 94ST). Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “The 2010 Batard-Montrachet covers every inch of the palate with fruit. In 2010, the Batard is towering, statuesque and simply impeccable. Today the aromas and flavors are not at all developed, rather the wine is really all about textural elegance and finesse, and there is plenty of that here. A huge, explosive finish rounds things out in style. The Batard is a wine of contrasts. At times it is quite bold and extroverted, at others it possesses admirable restraint. Either way, it is magnificent. Anticipated maturity: 2020+. ” (08/2012)

Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar: “(I tasted a pre-bottling sample): Bright yellow. Sexy aromas of peach, spices, minerals and nut oil. Densely packed and powerful but a bit perturbed in its current form, with a recent SO2 addition accentuating the wine’s acidity. Subtle notes of white pepper and wild herbs emerge with air to complicate the white peach and mineral flavors. Very juicy wine with superb depth and inner-mouth tension. Finishes with atypical energy for this cuvee and sneaky length.” (09/2012)
2008 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Folatieres”
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2008 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Folatieres” ((90-92BH)). “Outstanding” and 90-92 points Allen Meadows: “A high-toned and clearly more elegant nose of green fruit, spice, stone and subtle floral nuances combines with detailed and admirably understated naturally sweet and minerally flavors that are striking in their purity, all wrapped in a long, linear and quite finely balanced finish. A wine of pungent minerality and finesse.” (Tasted: Jun 01, 2010)

Allen Meadows – Burghound: “A mildly reduced nose features honeysuckle and acacia blossom notes introduces sweet, rich and beautifully complex flavors of impressive purity and vibrancy with brilliant length. A terrific effort that has the hallmark softness of Pucelles while retaining a firm and tangy, indeed almost linear finish that displays more minerality than usual.” (07/2007)

Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2007 Domaine Louis Latour Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru “Les Demoiselles” (94BH, 92WS). Allen Meadows – Burghound: “A more subtle touch of wood sets off the lightly spiced floral, green apple, white peach and pear aromas that lead to very pure, detailed and stony medium weight plus flavors that possess superb intensity and huge length on the mouth coating finish. This is presently quite understated and does an impressive job of blending power and finesse in a package of impact without heaviness.” (07/2009)

Allen Meadows – Burghound: “This is aromatically more complex than the Aigrots with more iron and earth nuances to the panoply of red berry fruit aromas that carry liqueur-like scents. The rich, delicious and charming flavors display good power and focus on the balanced, concentrated and palate staining finish. This beautiful and decidedly serious effort is deceptively open at present yet it should repay a decade, or even more, of cellar time. (Drink starting 2019)” (04/2012)

Allen Meadows – Burghound: “A notably floral, spicy and very cool nose is trimmed in noticeable but reasonable wood and leads to very rich, round and velvety big-bodied and powerful flavors that culminate in a moderately oaked but strikingly long finish. Again, the oak is not subtle on the palate but there appears to be more than enough concentration to handle it.” (01/2011)

Allen Meadows – Burghound: “This is not quite as refined as the Bienvenues but it’s more complex still with an unusually expressive nose at this early stage of notably ripe white peach, pear, yellow peach and apricot fruit scents that combine with very pretty floral nuances. The rich, powerful and muscular full-bodied flavors ooze with dry extract that imparts an opulent mouth feel to the attractively precise and borderline painfully intense finish. This is exceptionally backwards and just like the nose, the palate impression is not as fine but this is both bigger and longer. Impressive.” (06/2012)
2009 Domaine Perrot-Minot Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru “La Combe d`Orveau Cuvee Ultra”
$660.00.
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2009 Domaine Perrot-Minot Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru “La Combe d`Orveau Cuvee Ultra” ((91-94BH), 92AG, 92RP). Allen Meadows – Burghound: “This is the first wine to display any appreciable reduction though the big, rich and superbly dense broad-shouldered flavors possess lavish amounts of dry extract that confer an opulence to the velvety and mineral-driven finish. This is a powerful wine that is really remarkably concentrated and hugely long.” (01/2011)
2009 Domaine Perrot-Minot Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes
$1,080.00.
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2009 Domaine Perrot-Minot Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes (94ST). Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar: “Dark red. Wild aromas of blackberry, licorice, coffee and animal fur. Lush and sweet on entry, then expansive in the middle, with dark berry flavors supported by a strong structure. This is really stuffed with fruit, and there’s enough energy here to avoid coming off as heavy. Finishes with big, broad, dusty tannins and superb lingering sweetness. An excellent showing today, but this should be even better for a decade in the cellar.” (03/2012)
1986 Domaine Philippe Naddef Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Les Cazetiers”
$70.00.
Auction Ending on September 07, 2015 2:30 PM PST
Bid on this bottle of 1986 Domaine Philippe Naddef Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Les Cazetiers”. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “The Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers is full, rich, complex and complete….Philippe Naddef is certainly a name to watch. (Burgundy Book)” (01/1990)
2004 Domaine Ponsot Clos de la Roche Grand Cru “Vieilles Vignes” (1.5L)
Bid on this magnum of 2004 Domaine Ponsot Clos de la Roche Grand Cru “Vieilles Vignes” (1.5L) (93BH, 93ST). Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar: “Good deep red. Superripe, slightly decadent aromas of red cherry, leather and underbrush. Plush, fat and large-scaled; a full-blown expression of soil, with notes of smoke and game. This boasts extraordinary sweetness for the vintage, remaining just this side of over the top. Just a hint of nut skin on the finish. Very sexy wine.” (03/2007)
1999 Domaine Ramonet Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru “Les Vergers”
$57.00.
Bid on this bottle of 1999 Domaine Ramonet Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru “Les Vergers” (90ST). Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar: “Musky, oily aromas of spring flowers, mint, sulfides and smoke, plus a hint of lime pith. Concentrated, firm and expressive, with impressive density and volume. Sweet flavor of marzipan lifted by racy acidity and a note of Meyer lemon. Finishes dry, dense, tangy and very long.” (09/2001)
1985 Domaine Robert Ampeau Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Combettes”
Auction Ending on September 05, 2015 11:30 AM PST
Bid on this bottle of 1985 Domaine Robert Ampeau Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Combettes”. 1985 is the first year that Michael Ampeau took over the domaine that his grandfather established, which includes ten Premier Crus. These wines are notorious for aging at a snail’s pace. 17.5/20 points Clive Coates: “Surprisingly fresh nose. Ripe, ample and nicely steely-peachy. Good vigour. Plenty of depth and very good grip. Fine.” (“The Wines of Burgundy,” 10/2005)

Auction Ending on September 08, 2015 4:00 PM PST
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 1995 Domaine Robert Groffier Bonnes Mares Grand Cru (96WS, 93ST, 92RP, 90BH). Wine Spectator: “Stunning for its combination of deep fruit and classy structure. An extremely impressive, full-bodied, ripe and rich ’95, filled with sweet tannins that coat the mouth, good acidity that leads to a lingering finish, and loads of well-integrated toasted oak, cassis and blueberry. Best after 2000.” (01/1998)
2010 Domaine Tortochot Chambertin Grand Cru
$595.00.
Auction Ending on September 04, 2015 6:00 PM PST
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2010 Domaine Tortochot Chambertin Grand Cru (93BH). Allen Meadows – Burghound: “This is noticeably more restrained, indeed even recalcitrant on the otherwise extremely fresh, cool, airy and pure essence of red pinot fruit, wet stone and discreet earth nuances. There is good richness to the round and seductively textured flavors that exude a fine minerality that delivers outstanding length on the understated and impeccably well-balanced finish that displays plenty of the austerity for which young Chambertin is justifiably well-known.” (01/2013)
2005 Domaine Tortochot Chambertin Grand Cru
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2005 Domaine Tortochot Chambertin Grand Cru (94BH). Allen Meadows – Burghound: “Here there is also noticeable if not dominant wood spice that frames the admirably elegant, restrained and very pure, cool and almost airy red berry fruit and intense earth notes that grandly introduce the big-bodied, powerful and mineral-driven flavors that possess strikingly good definition and punch on the austere and stunningly long finish. This too is a bit oaky at present but there is really impressive underlying material. Bravo. (Drink starting 2020)” (01/2008)
2012 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru “La Forest”
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2012 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru “La Forest” (95AG, 94WE, (92-93RP), 92BH). Antonio Galloni: “The 2012 Chablis La Forest is one of the most reticent wines in this range. Here it is the wine’s phenolic weight and vertical sense of structure that stand out. Lemon oil, ash, smoke and petrol are some of the many nuances that inform a tightly-wound finish that never really opens up. The 2012 Forest is a wine for the patient, but it is shaping up to be a gem. (AG)” (08/2014)
2012 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat Chablis-Les Clos Grand Cru
$97.00.
Auction Ending on September 06, 2015 1:00 PM PST
Bid on this bottle of 2012 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat Chablis-Les Clos Grand Cru (97ST, 96AG, 94BH, 92RP). Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar: “Bright lemon-yellow. Even brighter and higher-pitched on the nose today than the Preuses, offering scents of lemon, grapefruit pith and crushed rock. Compellingly pure and electric in the mouth, with its superb mineral density leavened by citrus and floral flavors. Boasts an uncanny combination of supple texture and sheer stony cut. The longest of all of these 2012s, with a vibrant crushed-stone finish that leaves the salivary glands humming. One of the greats of the vintage. (ST)” (07/2014)
2004 Domaine William Fevre Chablis Grand Cru “Les Preuses” (1.5L)
$200.00.
Bid on this 2-magnum lot of 2004 Domaine William Fevre Chablis Grand Cru “Les Preuses” (1.5L) (95BH, 94RP, 93ST). Allen Meadows – Burghound: “This brilliant effort is evolving very much along the lines that I originally expected that it might and it has arrived on the front edge of full maturity. The elegant and highly complex nose is wonderfully classy and it clearly speaks of its origins as do the rich yet delineated medium-bodied flavors brimming with a subtle minerality and outstanding length. About the only nit is that the finish of this most recent bottle is perhaps not quite as persistent as I remember but overall, this is flat out terrific. I would continue to hold this for another year or two but it would be no vinous crime to dip into this now. Consistent notes.” (05/2011)

Auction Ending on September 03, 2015 11:00 AM PST
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2001 Dominique Laurent Clos Vougeot Grand Cru ((89-92ST)). Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar: “Full red-ruby. Spicy, high-pitched aromas of black cherry, bitter chocolate and licorice; slightly high-toned today. Spicy, minerally and perfumed in the mouth; the refined side of Clos Vougeot. Finishes firmly tannic, brisk and long. (ST)” (03/2003)
2009 Dominique Laurent Echézeaux Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes
Auction Ending on September 06, 2015 10:30 AM PST
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2009 Dominique Laurent Echézeaux Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes (91ST). Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar: “(91+ points): Bright red with ruby highlights. Lovely spicy lift to the aromas of raspberry, blood orange, gingerbread and flowers; plenty of sexy oak showing. Concentrated, sweet and lush but vibrant too, with savory cherry and spice flavors offering plenty of early appeal. Finishes with smooth tannins and excellent persistence. This has the balance to age but it’s delicious right now. (ST)” (03/2012)

Auction Ending on September 08, 2015 10:30 AM PST
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 1996 Dominique Laurent Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Cazetiers” ((91-94ST)). Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar: “Noble aromas of black fruits, espresso and smoke; reticent and very fine. Creamy and chocolatey in the mouth; texture of liquid silk. A mouthfilling wine of great finesse. Shapely and very long, with suave tannins. From Pinot Noir planted before World War I.” (03/1998)

Extremely long, fine aftertaste features a burst of black cherry flavor.” (03/1999)
