Catalogue February 2014 UNDERSTANDING BORDEAUX BORDEAUX SALE CATALOGUE FEBRUARY 2014 UNDERSTANDING BORDEAUX To start the journey of exploring Bordeaux, you need to fi rst start with the classifi cation system. In 1855, being lovers of red tape, the French ‘authorities’ created what became known as ‘The Classifi ed Growths of the Médoc ’. A fi ve-class classifi cation of 61 of the leading Médoc Châteaux (as well as two from Graves). This formalised lists that were already in place, based on each Châteaux relative quality as expressed by the prices of each individual estate. These growths, or ‘Crus’ range from fi rst (Premier) through to fi fth (Cinquièmes). Over the years that have passed since, there has been very little change to the 1855 classifi cation other than Château Mouton Rothschild moving from second growth to fi rst in 1973 - Baron Philippe de Rothschild reportedly saying “First I am, second I was, Mouton does not change”. Château Cantamerle was added as a fi fth growth in 1856 and Château Dubignon, a third growth, was absorbed into Château Malescot St Exupéry. Saint-Émilion added its own classifi cation system in 1955, which has subsequently been frequently amended. Pomerol has never been classifi ed, although the greatest wine from this region, Château Petrus, is generally spoken of in the same hushed tones as the fi ve fi rst growths of the Médoc . THE MÉDOC FIRST GROWTHS: • Château Lafi te-Rothschild (Pauillac) • Château Margaux (Margaux) • Château Latour (Pauillac) • Château Haut-Brion (Graves) • Château Mouton-Rothschild (Pauillac) Whilst much of the classifi cation system holds true today, the inherent problem with the system is that some of the Châteaux have improved out of sight since it was fi rst introduced, while oth- ers are considered to have rested on their laurels, smug in the knowledge that their wines will al- ways fetch high prices, as this was what the clas- sifi cation was based on in the fi rst place. Like anything, it is a good guide as long as one keeps in mind the fact that some of the wines outside its boundaries can still be superb. Bordeaux itself is located in the South West of France, and is the wine region that produces more top quality wine than any other. Bordeaux is renowned for its reds, which are often referred to as Claret. The reason these wines attract so much interest, and gen- erate such high prices, is largely their ability to age with a lot of them not showing their true potential for decades. The main red grapes grown are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The most famous white region is that of Sauternes, where the world’s most luscious dessert wines come from. The white wines from Bordeaux are made with Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and in some cases Muscadelle; the very best white wines, like red wines from Bordeaux, are extremely age worthy. Bordeaux is neatly divided into two groupings of appellations - those on the left bank of the Gironde and those on the right with the Dordogne running through them. In general terms, the left bank is home to Cabernet driven wines and the right bank Merlot dominant expressions. The appellations on the left bank include Margaux, Pauillac, St.-Julien and St.-Estèphe. The appellations on the right bank include Fronsac, Lalande de Pomerol and the two great appellations of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The city of Bordeaux is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the heart of this unique region. At the centre of all trade here is the Negociant system, a historic route to market that maintains strong today; the Château sell their wines to Negociants, who in turn offer them to their partners around the world, essentially an open trading market - with a few exceptions - we are after all in France. Château Climens Chateau Climens is located in the sweet wine appellation of Barsac, classified in 1855 as a Premier Cru Classe - a first growth Sauternes, Climens is regarded as the top producer in Barsac. Made from 100% Semillon, Climens distinctive character comes from the limestone terroir, with outstanding aromatic complexity neatly balanced with freshness and finesse. Climens was purchased by Lucien Lurton in 1971, the youngest of his ten children, Berenice Lurton manages the property today. Climens second wine is Cypres de CLimens, there’s 35 hectares under vine, annual production is between 25-30,000 bottles.

This is a superb Climens with a vibrant honeyed, passion fruit nose with a scent of clotted cream (I noted creme fraiche in one of the lots last time.) Very good level of botrytised fruit with beautiful definition and poise. Finishing with a flourish of marmalade tinged fruit. Very long. A sumptuous Climens." 46217 CHATEAU CLIMENS PREMIER CRU CLASSE 2006 $338.00 $265.00 Wine Spectator, 94/100: "This offers lots of honey and toffee aromas, with lemon, orange peel and apricot character. Full-bodied, very sweet and rich. Thick and flavorful, with vanilla, spice and cream character as well. Builds on the palate." 46204 CHATEAU CLIMENS PREMIER CRU CLASSE 2008 $345.00 $245.00 Robert Parker, 93/100: "Tasted single blind against its peers. This has a very well -defined nose of dried pineapple, quince and vanilla pod that unfolds seductively in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a mellifluous texture, although there remains some oak that needs to be subsumed into the wine. It displays fine definition towards the finish with impressive length. Always a little curmudgeonly in its youth, this Climens deserves a decade in bottle. Tasted January 2012." 46218 CHATEAU CLIMENS PREMIER CRU CLASSE 2009 $375.00 $265.00 Robert Parker, 97/100: “The 2009 displays a wonderful bouquet of honeysuckle, almond and a hint of creme caramel that is beautifully defined. The palate has a creamy entry with patently a good deal of oak that needs to be subsumed. The balance is just exquisite, the line of acidity perfectly pitched and moreover, there is that paradoxical mixture of weight and levity that makes Climens what it is. The finish blossoms with quince, almond and honey and lingers long in the mouth. This is surely destined to be a top tier Climens that will last the usual decades. Drink 2014-2050.” - NM 46215 CHATEAU CLIMENS PREMIER CRU CLASSE (375ml) 2005 $176.00 $125.00 Stephen Tanzer, 94/100: "Good full golden-yellow. Musky, very fresh aromas of crystallized citrus peel, minerals and toasted bread. The palate offers incredible sappy concentration and a saline aspect, not to mention a penetrating quality rare for this fruit-driven year. In fact, this begins almost light, then builds inexorably toward the back, finishing with a tactile impression of extract and an extraordinary sweetness." 46216 CHATEAU CLIMENS PREMIER CRU CLASSE (375ml) 2006 $290.00 $155.00 Stephen Tanzer, 93/100: "Full gold with orange highlights. Fruit salad and floral aromas, along with sexy oak tones of nuts, marzipan, spices, vanilla and toasted almond. Enticing, opulent and concentrated, with lovely inner-mouth aromatic quality and bright acids to frame the sweet fruit salad flavors." 42201 CHATEAU CLIMENS PREMIER CRU CLASSE (375ml) 2007 $250.00 $175.00 Robert Parker 98/100 "Chateau Climens always tends to go into its shell after bottling, which is probably why I was not dishing out an even higher score to this still, spellbinding Barsac. The 2007 is endowed with a lovely bouquet: very pure with honey, a touch of orange-blossom and a touch of quince. The palate is very well-balanced with great purity and a dash of spice as well as a lovely viscous, botrytis-laden finish that possesses awesome weight and persistency. This is a slice of heaven in a glass, but it definitely needs time to reveal its true potential. Tasted January 2011." 46214 CHATEAU CLIMENS PREMIER CRU CLASSE (375ml) 2009 $189.00 $135.00 Robert Parker, 97/100: “The 2009 displays a wonderful bouquet of honeysuckle, almond and a hint of creme caramel that is beautifully defined. The palate has a creamy entry with patently a good deal of oak that needs to be subsumed. The balance is just exquisite, the line of acidity perfectly pitched and moreover, there is that paradoxical mixture of weight and levity that makes Climens what it is. The finish blossoms with quince, almond and honey and lingers long in the mouth. This is surely destined to be a top tier Climens that will last the usual decades. Drink 2014-2050.” - NM 46203 CHATEAU CLIMENS PREMIER CRU CLASSE (375ml) 2010 $170.00 $99.00 Wine Spectator, 96/100: “Dense and lush now, offering tangerine, apricot, honey-roasted almond and dacquoise notes, with a long, powerful, honeyed finish that lets toasted coconut and mango cruise through. The lovely dried pineapple and honeysuckle accents flitter through the background. Shows stunning length and depth. This will become dreamy with age. Best from 2018 through 2035.” – JM Prices Valid as at 05-Mar-14 or while stocks last, you MUST be over 18 years of age, please refer to our terms and conditions online Château Coutet Chateau Coutet is one of the oldest estates in the unique area that is Sauternes, an hour and a half south of Bordeaux city, Sauternes has a magical collection of conditions that allows it to produce some of the greatest sweet wines in the world.

    Château Giscours 2016 CSPC# 758854 750mlx12 13.2% alc./vol. Grape Variety 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot Appellation Margaux Classification Third Growth. Troisieme Grand Cru Classe in 1855. Website http://chateau-giscours.com/en/ General Info The first written reference to the domain of Giscours, a deed confirming the sale of the Estate for 1,000 Pounds, dates from 1330 and refers to a fortified keep. Records of Giscours' vineyards go back to 1552. Giscours early reputation for fine wine became increasingly apparent as time went on. A century later, Giscours charmed the palate of the "Roi Soleil" Louis the 14th, who is said to have had a particular inclination for the wine. Subsequent owners came and went. The most noteworthy was the Count de Pescatore, a leading Parisian banker. In 1847, he laid the cornerstone of the remarkable chateau that still exists today. It was built in order to receive Empress Eugénie in the Renaissance style to which she was accustomed. 1855 was another landmark year, in which the wine of Château Giscours was officially recognized as a 3rd growth Margaux. Then, the domain had a number of other owners and the estate was purchased by Nicolas Tari after the Second World War. He undertook a modernisation programme. In 1995, the Société Anonyme d'Exploitation was acquired by Eric Albada Jelgersma. He immediately began investing in vineyard and cellar renovation. He also put together a new winemaking team in the spirit of generations of winegrowers who made this Estate the famous great growth it is today. Giscours is run with brio by Dutch manager Alexander Van Beek.

    Le Rosé de Giscours 2019 CSPC# 843938 750mlx6 13.0% alc./vol. Grape Variety 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot Appellation Margaux Classification Appellation Bordeaux Rosé Controlée Website http://chateau-giscours.com/ General Info Classified Third Cru in the 1855 classification, the exceptional quality of Château Giscours wines is still at the top of the Margaux appellation! Under the leadership of Alexander Van Beek, the cru continued its incredible rise, thanks in particular to significant progress in the vineyard and in the cellar. This rosé is also a great success from the estate! Bordeaux Rosé: In Gironde, only the regional Bordeaux appellation is available in rosé. Thus, it is possible to produce Bordeaux rosé and Bordeaux claret on the territory of the five hundred and three communes located in the geographical area of the department. Light red obtained by a weak maceration of red grapes, Claret is none other than the worthy descendant of French Claret, which, already in the Middle Ages, the English were fond of. Terre de Vin used the title of "War and Peace" to describe the 2018 vintage in Bordeaux so much the winegrowers feared the worst and obtained the best. In the end, we discover superb wines. Winemaker Lorenzo Pasquini Vintage The 2019 Margaux appellation on the whole shared much of the same growing conditions as experienced by the other appellations in the Medoc. The vintage in the Left Bank got off to a slow start with April, May and June having problems, due to a lack of sun and too much rain. Flowering began at the end of May.
