This is the sixth annual A Celebration of Burgundy auction, and it might be the best one yet. The fi rst was held in the spring of 2012, and looking back it’s obvious that some things haven’t changed. Nine of the top ten most expensive lots sold that day came from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. This year, we project that eight of the top ten most expensive wines sold will be from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. DRC remains the undisputed king of Burgundy. Leroy prices have risen even higher, Rousseau remains in huge demand, and rare bottles from Henri Jayer are as expensive as always. We have also seen the revival of the wines of Francois Lamarche, the emergence of Arnaud Ente as a star of Meursault, and the changing of the Ben Nelson guard at Hudelot-Noëllat as Charles Van Canneyt takes that Domaine to new levels of quality. President Hart Davis Hart Wine Co. What defi nitely hasn’t changed is the diffi culty in convincing our consignors to part with their beloved Burgundy wines. For six straight years, this auction has been the hardest one to fi ll by far. The wines in the pages that follow are some of the most thrilling in the world. These are the crown jewels; they are made in tiny quantities, and in many cases are truly irreplaceable. They are so tough to let go. Which brings us to one of the greatest consignments of Burgundy wine ever to be sold at auction. A Cellar of Legendary Wines With Important Provenance (lots 454-613) contains some of the most signifi cant wines ever produced in Burgundy. The banded case of 1985 La Tâche (lot 465), which can be seen on the front cover of the catalog, sums up the consignment well. Wines from this cellar generated massive interest in our Celebration of Bordeaux auction last year due to the incredible provenance of the collection. Now is your chance to acquire exceptionally rare Burgundy from this special cellar, sourced from the likes of Singleton, Josey and Herbert Bridges Harris, Jr. In total, $1.2-1.8 million of DRC, $285,000-428,000 of Leroy, $123,000-184,000 of Rousseau and $114,000-171,000 of Henri Jayer wines will be sold across 1448 lots. All of the top producers of Burgundy are represented, from Coche-Dury, to Dujac, to Lefl aive, Ponsot, Roumier…you name it and you will fi nd it in the pages that follow. We hope to see you in the saleroom at TRU, and thank you for your interest in this special sale. Please enjoy!

  • Complex Burgundy Hierarchy the Hierarchy of Burgundy, to Some, Is Considered Complex
    With Burgundy en primeur upon us, Decanter has listed the top Burgundy producers, based on the best known and most expensive as a starting point. Look out for all the Burgundy 2014 en primeur tasting notes on Decanter.com later this month. image: http://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2015/12/Vines- at-Romanee-Conti-630x417.jpg Romanée-Conti vines TAGS:News Home Burgundy is an area in France famous for its world class red and white wines produced from the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. Complex Burgundy hierarchy The hierarchy of Burgundy, to some, is considered complex. Burgundy lovers can struggle to learn firstly the commune or village level wine names, then the Grand Cru vineyards and finally the Premier Cru vineyards. A recent piece by journalist John Elmes, who is currently learning about wine for the first time with the WSET, was in high contrast to the in-depth piece by Benjamin Lewin MW on Burgundian classification. It served as a reminder of the breadth of knowledge needed to understand the Burgundy classification system. Burgundy producer types Due to this complexity, finding your favourite Burgundian producers can be much more fruitful in the long term when purchasing wine. This, once again, is not a simple as it sounds. The Burgundian wine trade is split in two between growers and négociants. This has arisen due to a law attributed to Napoleonic times – the laws of equal inheritance. When applied to the vineyards of Burgundy, over time, it has meant that individual growers may only own a small row of vines.

  • OLIVIER RIVIÈRE Gabaxo Rioja
    OLIVIER RIVIÈRE Gabaxo Rioja With just shy of twenty hectares of vineyards that are rented, farmed or owned outright in Rioja Alta, Rioja Baja, Rioja Alavesa and Arlanza, and splitting his time between his own wines and those of Bodegas Lacus, it would be a gross understatement to say that Olivier Rivière is a busy man. Originally lured to Spain in 2004 by Telmo Rodriguez to convert his vineyards to biodynamics, Olivier came to appreciate the rich history of Rioja, and the diversity of its soils and grape varieties. In 2006 he started his own project and owing to the high cost of land in Rioja he traded his farming abilities for access to grapes from the best sites he could find. In 2009 he joined Luis Arnedo at Bodegas Lacus and found a more permanent home for his growing portfolio of wines. ORIGIN Olivier, as you might guess, is not Spanish but French. We was born and Spain raised in Cognac, studied enology (with an emphasis on biodynamic farming practices) in Bordeaux and gained practical experience there and in APPELLATION Burgundy. The list of estates where he has worked is impressive by anyone’s Rioja standards from the most dedicated fans of natural wines (Elian da Ros) to ultra-traditionalists (Domaine Leroy.) When his plans to set up a domaine in Fitou fell through, Olivier decided to spend a few years consulting in SOIL Clay limestone, sand Spain, and he’s never left. Coming from France, Olivier has an innate sense of terroir. Unlike most AGE OF VINES 20–65 of his peers in Rioja, he bases his cuvées not on political boundaries or the length of barrel aging but on terroir.

Barrel-aged Negroni Legend has it that in the year 1919 Count Camillo Negroni was in dire need of a twist to his favourite cocktail. 'The Americano'. His bartender Fosco Scarselli substituted the soda part with Gin and as they say…the rest is history. Fast forward and the year is 2020 and we as Dinner by Heston Blumenthal Sommeliers couldn't resist creating our very own Negroni by carefully aging it in our 5 litres Whisky barrel for a few weeks. See if we succeeded. Dinner NEGRONI £21,00 CHAMPAGNE - FATHER AND SON ! 2007 Thienot 'Cuvée Stanislas' Blanc de Blancs, Brut, Reims, France It takes real nerve to set up your own Champagne House, the very first Houses such as Veuve Clicquot, Bollinger & Moët & Chandon began their existence more than three centuries ago. In 1985 Alain Thienot showed not only courage but more than 20 years of experience as a wine broker.

  • Why We Do the Things We Do at Ninety Acres
    WHY WE DO THE THINGS WE DO AT NINETY ACRES We believe in using Biodynamic, Organic and Sustainable ingredients and wines whenever possible. We believe it's not only important to support local agriculture, but that food and wine produced in this way can lend tastes and textures that make the dining experience incredibly unique. Sustainable agriculture refers to the ability of a farm to produce food indefinitely, without causing irreversible damage to ecosystem health. Two key issues are biophysical (the long-term effects of various practices on soil properties and processes essential for crop productivity) and socio-economic (the long-term ability of farmers to obtain inputs and manage resources such as labor). Organic farming is a form of agriculture which avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, plant growth regulators, and livestock feed additives. As far as possible, organic farmers rely on crop rotation, crop residues, animal manures and mechanical cultivation to maintain soil productivity and tilth to supply plant nutrients, and to control weeds, insects and other pests. Biodynamic agriculture, or biodynamics is an organic farming system (but predates the term). It is based on the anthroposophical teachings of Rudolf Steiner, particularly on the eight lectures given by him in 1924 at Schloss Koberwitz in what was then Silesia, Germany nowadays Poland (close to Wrocław). At the time Steiner believed that the introduction of chemical farming was a major problem. Steiner was convinced that the quality of food in his time was degraded, and he believed the source of the problem were artificial fertilizers and pesticides.
