3 Fine & Rare Wines

It’s hard to believe, but June is the busiest sales month Zachys has ever had. We’ve had more auctions, and sold more bottles of fine wine, than ever before.

Between our amazing single-owner eAuctions, restaurant auctions, Hong Kong auctions (auctioneered from New York!), our first single-owner California-only sale, and our multi- vendor auctions, supply and demand remain steady, and prices are strong. This finale auction of the spring season caps off a crazy June, and I’m delighted to report that the fall is shaping up to be just as busy.

Now let’s talk about the amazing wines in this auction!

One of the coolest lots I’ve seen in a while is the “Yquem Assortment Case” (lot 119). Why isn’t Yquem on every catalog cover? This assortment case back to 1934 would be one of the greatest sweet wine tastings ever. Of course, there’s another great assortment in the sale, or assortiment I should say: 1990 DRC (lot 120). This one continues to be at the top of every collector’s wish list.

This auction catalog is also filled with DRC, Rousseau, Roumier, Coche-Dury, white rari- ties like Ramonet Montrachet (in jero no less) , a boatload of Cuvee Cathelin, the Loire Valley gem Asteroide, Screaming Eagle, and one of the rarest Bourbons we’ve ever sold: AH Hirsch 19 year old.

We can’t be with you at Smith & Wollensky this time, but we’ve quickly pivoted to our “live streaming only” format, and many of you have loved it. Who doesn’t want to bid on Rousseau in their pajamas?! Thank you for making this season an amazing one at Zachys. In every great challenge there is opportunity and I thank you for allowing the Zachys team to serve you. I can’t wait to share a great bottle or three with you soon enough!

Until then, stay safe,

Jeff Zacharia President

5 JAYER, DRC, & CUVÉE CATHELIN CHAVE from a MANHATTAN COUPLE

(LOTS 1-61)

I have personally had the pleasure of knowing this amazing wine collecting couple for over a decade. Of course, they started acquiring Jayer long before I was in the picture, but it has been amazing to help them buy and sell on multiple occations over these years. I have personally been in their wine cellar and the word bunker is an insult. Equipped with a state-of-the-art security, temperature and yes, vibration sensor (what else do you expect from a leading engineer and tech entrepreneur), this is one of the best NYC wine cellars I have ever been in. I’ve also had the pleasure of attending several wine events and dinners with them where we sampled many bottles from their collection; the wine has always shown perfectly!

If you’re into Roumier, Rousseau, DRC, Coche, Dujac and Chave then these next 60 lots or so might make your head explode. It’s not even worth listing the “highlights” in this intro as every lot that follows deserves that indication. So, flip through the next couple of pages and tell your CFA to transfer funds to your wine spending account; what follows will excite any wine lover.

His emphasis on Clos de la Roche Dujac 1978 viticultural practices and the meticulous care that he gave Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru to his vineyards are simply the most obvious facets of one 3.5cm, one 4.5cm, one torn label, two heavily damp- his traditional methodology. Henri Jayer revolutionized stained labels, two lightly corroded capsules winemaking during the course of his career. Amongst 11 2 bottles US$10000-16000 his very many accomplishments was his emphasis on limiting yields in the vineyard, allowing the cooled must Clos de la Roche Dujac 1980 to macerate for a few days prior to the onset of alcoholic Côte de Nuits fermentation to allow colors to set and adding to the 4cm, heavily damp-stained label aromatic complexity in the finished wine and bottling 12 1 bottle US$1800-2800 the wine unfined and unfiltered. He always spoke of the importance of treating the wine gently during the Clos de la Roche Dujac 1985 fermentation and elevage process, which he likened to Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru “moving a sleeping baby who must be carried to its bed 3cm, bin-soiled and lightly scuffed label from the sofa upon which it has fallen asleep.” He also 13 1 bottle US$4000-6000 was a proponent of one hundred percent new oak for his wines. This was the one precept of his winemaking Clos de la Roche Dujac 1990 technique that cannot be described as traditional, and it Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru is the one most often cited by modern winemakers when 2.5cm, lightly deteriorated label they seek to sprinkle a little of the “fairy dust” of Jayer 14 1 magnum (1.5L) US$15000-22000 inspiration on their own wines. There is little doubt that the concept that a Grand Cru “deserves to be raised in one Clos de la Roche Dujac 1993 hundred percent new oak” that is often heard in Burgundy Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru these days can be traced back to Henri Jayer and his 3cm, damp-stained label success with new wood. However, one of the interesting 15 1 magnum (1.5L) US$6000-9000 things I have always found about Henri Jayer’s wines was that I have never tasted one that was over-oaked.

(LOTS 62-164)

This collection has at its apex a 1990 DRC Assortment—one of the greatest collector’s items in the wine world today. From there, the list of wines is equally rare and special, whether it’s DRC from spectacular vintages like 1999 and 2005, or OWCs of Lafite from 1986 and 2003. Not to be missed here is the rare “Yquem Assortment Case,” illustrated in your catalog, and one of the rarest lots in the whole auction for those that enjoy the sweet stuff. There are double cases of the 100-point 1986 Mouton, triple cases of the 2001 Yquem, and amazing connoisseurs’ wines, like the 1975 Yquem and 2000 La Clusière. And don’t get us started on the wines outside of France. There’s the rare Taylor Scion, SQN, and a huge vertical of Pingus. All wines were purchased from a reputable NY retailer and never moved from their storage until sale today. This consignor has a huge collection at home and knows he will never get to drink it all so decided to part with the wines in storage. BORDEAUX Château Haut-Brion Haut-Brion has the longest history of all the First Growths. Château Cheval Blanc 1982 It was even mentioned by Samuel Pepys in his diary entry St. Emilion, Premier Grand Cru Classé (a) of April 10,1663, when he was dining at the Royal Oak original wood case Tavern in Lombard Street, London: “...and here drank a ten bottom neck or better, two very top shoulder, one sort of French wine called Ho Bryan that hath a good and nicked label, two damp-stained labels most particular taste I never met with.” 62 12 bottles US$6500-9500 The famous Pontac family set up the estate in the first portion of the sixteenth century. Wealthy and well connected, they had the means to promote the wine in fashionable places, and by the early 1700s it was as well known as a wine of the highest quality.

While parts were split off, the estate stayed with the family until it was passed to Joseph Fumel in 1780. He was largely responsible for creating much of what we see today, including the buildings, the gardens and the general layout of the property. He famously hosted a visit from Thomas Jefferson on May 25, 1787, and became Mayor of Bordeaux three years later.

With its popularity waning under a succession of different owners, the estate was finally put up for auction in 1836, where it was purchased by the Larreau family. Two years later, in 1838, they managed to acquire a further piece of the estate previously lost through inheritance laws.

Although it was included as a First Growth in the 1855 classification of Bordeaux, difficult times lay ahead. A further succession of owners and the depression of the early 1930s forced another sale. This time, successful American financier Clarence Dillon stepped up, and for a little under $200,000 walked away with the estate. It remains in the Dillon family today.

(LOTS 200-482)

It’s a pleasure to review an auction offering as complete as this one. At Zachys we are wine lovers. Sure, we love offering a few hundred cases of OWC Bordeaux as much as the next guy (our shipping department loves it too), but collections like this are what really make our hearts melt. Split across this auction and an eAuction component, here are some of the highlights: 1985 Sassicaia (a wine shared by the senior Zachys team last summer to great acclaim), Krug Clos du Mesnil from multiple vintages (including a boatload of the singing 2000), Selosse, Chave’s Cuvée Cathelin, Gentaz Côte Rôtie’s, Ramonet Montrachet, a DRC RC vertical, Palmer, Mouton, Margaux, Lafite, Haut-Brion, Screaming E, Hill of Grace, and many more. Cases of Maya and Bond? We’ve got that. We’ve even got a few bottles of rare Cognac and Scotch thrown in for good measure. All in all, no collecting stone was left unturned in this cellar. There’s something here for everyone, and the common thread is rarity. The collection was stored in professional temperature-controlled conditions.

The vineyards are farmed organically and the horse and plough are utilized to this day!

The Hermitage Rouge is made of 100 percent Syrah while the Blanc is generally eighty percent Marsanne and twenty percent Roussanne. In vinification, contrary to modernist techniques once again, Chave eschews new oak, using only ten percent for the Rouge and mostly old oak and stainless steel for the fermentation and aging of the Blanc. The white Hermitage has the texture and richness of a great white Burgundy with immense complexity and the ability to age substantially. When serving the Blanc, Jean- Louis advises that they are not chilled too much, and are always decanted for a short period. The Rouge is a highlight.

Started France in 1989 by Adolph Hirsch, a former Schenley executive, 2cm to foil, push cork, 40% abv the original barrels were acquired from Pennco, which 481 1 bottle US$1400-2000 later was purchased in foreclosure and became Michters. No one knows exactly why Hirsch acquired this Bourbon, Chartreuse Verte Voiron 1941-1951 but apparently he had no immediate use for it, because France he promptly left it for 15 years. Of the 400 barrels he 7.5cm, missing back label, missing wax capsule reveals acquired, the 15, 17, 18 and 19 year old Bourbons are far branded cork, 48% abv and away the most rare and collectible Bourbons. Only 482 1 bottle US$2800-4200 121 cases of the 19 year old were bottled. To have one offered here is a once-in-a-lifetime offering.

(LOTS 483-560) For classic white Burgundies beautifully selected and carefully stored and aged, look no further. The selection of producers is top drawer—Leflaive, Coche Dury, Ramonet, Colin Deléger, Henri Boillot, and Drouhin Laguiche. The number of large formats is impressive, and features twenty jeroboams, including Ramonet Montrachet 1992 and Bâtard-Montrachet 1996. There are also numerous fine examples from one of my favorite white Burgundy vintages of all time—2000. Don’t miss the Chevalier-Montrachet Leflaive 2000—not to mention the incredible 1999. These bottles were removed from long term storage in a massive, custom designed warehouse cellar that’s carefully monitored, alarmed, and controlled at 55 degrees Fahrenheit for this auction.

From a longtime collector in the Boston area comes a wide array of fine Burgundy and other gems. The rare Anne Gros Richebourg is a standout in this offering, as is the 1990 RSV from Hudelot-Noëllat, a fan favorite annually at La Paulée. A six pack of 1997 La Tâche shouldn’t be missed—those who know The Domaine well know how successful they were in this often-overlooked vintage. And those that love Burgundy will also love the non-Burgundy lot that slipped into the offering: 1964 Mascarello Barolo, eight bottles of it, one for every night of the week and two on Sunday. The wines in this offering were stored in a purpose-built temperature-controlled home cellar and shipped to Zachys in temperature-controlled conditions.
