The second of our featured collections has tremendous vintage depth, particularly larger bottles, starting with magnums of ’49 Latour, ’59 Mouton as well as ’49, ’53, and ’64 Cheval Blanc. Continuing the big bottle theme are a double-magnum of 1971 Petrus and 1982 Pichon Lalande in three different sizes. Older vintages abound such as bottles of 1928 Cos and an entire case of 1961 La Mission, and there are many modern classics such as two cases of 1989 Haut Brion. The depth of Burgundy is similarly spell-blinding with nine vintages of La Tache going back to a magnum of 1971 and lovely Leroy crested by a full case of 1959 Chambertin. This collector used his connections to get multiple cases of highly-allocated wines, and there are two cases each of 1993 and 1995 Roumier Bonnes Mares as well as bottles and magnums of 1993 Ponsot Clos de la Roche. These tremendous Red Burgundies are complemented by seldom seen whites including jeroboams of Ramonet Montrachet, 1978 Perrieres Coche-Dury and a bevy of Domaine Leflaive. Further south, we find Rhone large formats from vaunted producers such as Pegau, Chave, Rayas and Beaucastel. A ten case parcel of Dom Perignon Rose headlines a Champagne cast of Krug and Cristal in different formats. Clos Ste. Hune, Gaja and Grange round out this true connoisseur’s collection. This cellar is the product of passionate collecting over many years, and all wines were meticulously cared for at every point. It is an A to Z of the world’s finest and a pleasure to offer it to you.

Once a part of the ancient estate Château d'Issan and divided by the heirs of the Foix-Candale family in 1748, 50 hectares of vineyards came to the Gascq family. Though without association to any particular noble château, the wine produced became Château de Gascq. It was quickly established in the market and served at the court of Versailles under Louis XV.

By 1814 the widow of the final Gascq heir, Madame Marie Bumet de Ferrière sold the property for 100,000 Francs to an Englishman, General Charles Palmer. Having retired from military life, Palmer invested in the property over the following years, acquiring additional land and facilities. By 1831, the domain extended 163 hectares with 82 hectares under vine, buildings in Issan, Cantenac and Margaux, and had a reputation on a par with Château Margaux and Château Beychevelle. In the early 1840s, Palmer had however run into economic difficulties which would later affect the estate's position in the 1855 Classification, and he was forced to sell the property to Madame Françoise-Marie Bergerac in 1843 for 410,000 Francs, at a substantial loss.

From 1844, during the arrival of oidium (white powdery mildew) to Bordeaux, Château Palmer was managed by an agricultural mortgage corporation, Caisse Hypothécaire de Paris, until it was sold in 1853 to the brothers Isaac and Emile Péreire, bankers and rivals of the Rothschilds. The Péreires widely improved the estate but faced a difficult period of oidium, and by 1858 the entire vineyard had to be replanted. The architect Burguet was commissioned to build the present château (constructed 1857-1860), and by 1870 the estate extended 177 hectares, with 109 hectares under vine. The Société Civile Péreire was formed in 1889, remaining proprietors until the poor economy - following World War I and The Great Depression – got the better of them. Having sold off land during the preceding years, the final sale of the remaining estate took place in 1938.

A syndicate of the Sichel, Ginestet, Mialhe and Mähler-Besse families (all powerful Negociants at the time), forming the Société Civile de Chateau Palmer took control, the Sichel and Mähler-Besse families remaining major shareholders to date, while the others sold their stakes. Before World War II, Château Palmer's owners bought Château Desmirail, another Third Classified Growth, and uniquely in 1963 Palmer wines were sold under the Desmirail name and were therefore not produced by the Chateau itself.

Since 2004, Palmer has been managed by Thomas Duroux, formerly a winemaker of Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, having been responsible for making the now famous Masseto wine during his tenure there, and in particular the 2001 vintage, which propelled that estate to fame and glory.

Chateau Palmer rarely consigns wine directly to auction and it has only happened a few times in the past decades, so we are thrilled and honored to have this interesting and most exciting consignment coming directly from the cellars of the Chateau itself and packaged especially for this occasion. We trust you will find this an amazing and unique opportunity to add some choice bottles and large formats to your collection, with a provenance that is unmatched in the industry. In addition, there are no 2009 Chateau Palmers in the Hong Kong market currently, and certainly no 2010’s, as the wines have not been bottled and released yet. There are some tremendous possibilities at stake here for your collection.

此莊曾屬Château d'Issan一部分，1748年被Foix-Candale家族後嗣分割，50公頃之葡萄園落入Gascq家族手中。當時它並不從屬於任何貴族酒堡，但其產酒以「Château de Gascq 」之名面世，並迅即在市場上立足；路易十五統治期間，更成為凡爾賽宮皇室餐桌上的酒款之一。

1814年，Gascq 最後一位後嗣之遺孀Madame Marie Bumet de Ferrière 以100,000法郎價格將莊園售予英國人General Charles Palmer。Palmer從軍中退役，及後多年來為酒莊投入資金、購入額外園地及釀酒設備。直至1831年，其規模擴充了163 公頃，當中82 公頃用於葡萄園，以及在Issan、Cantenac與 Margaux之地上興建相關建築；歷經發展後，其聲譽日隆，甚至與Château Margaux 及Château Beychevelle匹敵。然而，1840年代初，Palmer陷入財務困境，令酒莊在1855 年列級榜上的排名備受影響，他遂不得已地於1843年把酒莊以410,000法郎價格售予Madame Françoise-Marie Bergerac，並因而大受損失。

1844年起，粉孢子霉病侵襲波爾多，Château Palmer遂由一所農業抵押公司：巴黎Caisse Hypothécaire管理營運，直至1853 年售予Rothschild家族對手、出任銀行家的Isaac and Emile Péreire兄弟。他們在酒莊推動多項改善措施，但仍飽受粉孢子侵害，因而決定於1858年重植整個葡萄園，而建築師Burguet 獲委託於1857至1860年間築成屹立至今的酒堡。1870年，酒面積拓展了177 公頃，當中109公頃作為葡萄園。及後，成立於1889年的 Société Civile Péreire 成為業權擁有者，並著手逐步出售酒莊，期間經歷了第一次世界大戰及經濟大蕭條；1938年完成出售手頭上所有的酒莊業權。

當時的權威酒商：Sichel、Ginestet、Mialhe及 Mähler-Besse 家族合組之財團，成立了Société Civile de Chateau Palmer，正式接管此莊，而 Sichel 及 Mähler-Besse家族至今仍為酒莊的主要股東，其餘之家族則已售出手上股份。第二次世界大戰前，Château Palmer莊主購入另一所三級酒莊Château Desmirail。特別值得一提的是1963年，該年份Palmer酒釀並非由本莊釀製、而是以 Desmirail之命推出市場。

2004年起，Thomas Duroux負責管理Palmer 酒莊。他曾為Tenuta dell'Ornellaia釀酒師，釀製遐邇聞名的Masseto美酒，包括備受推崇的2001年份佳釀。

Chateau Palmer少有直接委託拍賣行推出其傑作，過往幾十年來之先例屬鳳毛麟角。這次我們非常榮幸，能在拍場上呈獻 Chateau Palmer酒莊直遞之窖藏美酒系列，而且更是特別為本場拍賣包裝，殊為難能可貴。此中極品卓越非凡，備有各款瓶裝，當中更包括珍罕大瓶裝珍釀，來源顯赫，在市場上無可匹敵，實是藏家的首選。此外， 2009及2010年 Chateau Palmers出品並未裝瓶及推出市面，香港市場上並無供應，故本場拍賣為您帶來的Palmer佳釀，均是獨特難求、首屈一指的珍罕極品。

Lot: 329 CHATEAU PALMER

In the recent 20 Superstars from Bordeaux at First Growth level, Robert Parker stated that “Chateau Palmer is one of the top stars in all of Bordeaux” and lauded the property and Thomas Duroux for the top quality of their 2009, while saying that the 2010 is very, very close in quality, even on par. He has given an initial score range of 95-97 for the wine, but we’re jumping the gun here with a lot of 2010 bottles that has not only never ever been done before in the history of wine auctions, but guaranteed will never again be available. It spans the entire range of bottle that have been produced at the Chateau in the past decades, from a 375 ml (half bottle) all the way up to the 12L (Nebuchadnezzar) of which only 2 or 3 have been produced annually, but also here and for the first and only time in the history of Chateau Palmer, we present a 15 Liter bottle, the elusive Balthazar. This is the only time such a bottle will be produced and it will be numbered 1/1 and signed by Thomas Duroux for this occasion when the wine is finished by the middle of next year. All of the bottles of 2010 Chateau Palmer in this particular lot will be in individual original wooden cases. The winner of this lot will obviously be notified when all the bottles in this lot have been produced and are ready for delivery to Hong Kong. This is the most unique “futures” lot to be offered in auction for Chateau Palmer ever.

面對近來20款波爾多的星級珍釀，權威酒評家Robert Parker曾表示：「Chateau Palmer 是波爾多最頂尖的星級之選之一」，並對 Thomas Duroux及其莊之2009年出色傑作讚不絕口，又表示2010年在品質上幾近能與之匹敵，因而給予95至97 分。但是， 2010 年之出品不僅未在拍場上出現過，而且在將來亦不會再度亮相，可見其難得之處。本拍品匯集酒莊在過去幾十年來生產過的瓶裝，由375毫升（半瓶裝）以至12公升裝俱備，當中12公升裝每年只生產2至3瓶，而最難得的乃這是Chateau Palmer有史以來首次，也是唯一一次推出 15 公升裝，極具份量。此瓶裝生產只此一次，編號為「 1/1」，將附有明年年中此酒完成釀製時 Thomas Duroux的簽名。這批2010年 Chateau Palmer所有珍釀均附獨立原木箱裝，而投得這珍罕拍品的買家，將於所有瓶裝完成生產之時，以及於付運香港之前獲通知。這是Chateau Palmer歷來在拍賣上推出最獨特的「期酒」，搜羅機會絕無僅有。
