BURGUNDY

Maison Albert Bichot

By Burgundian standards, Maison AlbertBichot is a large producer: Perhaps smallerthan Jadot but larger than Drouhin, owningover 100 hectares of vineyards and vinifying150 they are similar in size to BouchardPère et Fils. Still family owned since 1831, itis now the sixth generation of Bichots at thehelm – Albéric Bichot.Albéric has had a flying start to his tenure –already in the last 12 months, three awardsfor winemaking (Winemaker of the Year2004 – Le Journal de Paris, DecanterWorld Wine Awards 2004 – InternationalPinot Noir Trophy, 2004 Wine InternationalChallenge – Red Winemaker of the Year). Aconversation was overheard at a recent

tasting; one of the tasters asking whetherthe awards might have been a fluke, a well-known journalist tasting the wines replied“one award maybe, lightening doesn’t tendto strike twice in the same place, butthree…”It was in the mid 1990’s that Maison Bichotdecided to change the way they worked.They realised that if they wanted to berelevant in the future they would need to doeverything they could to increase thequality of their wines – this meant takingcontrol in the vineyard as well as thecuverie – the raw materials would beeverything. Today 100% of their crus arevinified in-house and the amount of villages

Page 9: Catalogue Winefield's 10th anniversary auction WF40 part one

wines they vinify increases by the year –currently 80% is in-house. The wines arevinified locally to their vineyards by localrégisseurs under the watchful eye of ofBichot’s head winemaker Alain Serveau,who is instrumental in the current ‘in-house’vinification philosophy. Alain points totraditional vinification in open wooden vats,occasionally whole cluster fermentationswhen it fits, no pumping, the wine is onlymoved by gravity where possible.To facilitate this increase in their ownproduction they have purchased a largecuverie from Bouchard P&F – those of youfamiliar with the ring-road around Beauneshould recollect a large BP&F facility on theleft-hand-side of the road – this is whatBichot have bought and they expect that itwill take around 12 months to get it into theconfiguration they desire.Christophe Chauvel is responsible for thevineyards (ex of Domaine Leflaive where heworked closely with Pierre Morey) andexplains that it is quite easy to vinify if theraw materials are good – it’s his job tomake sure that they are. To that end, yieldsare restricted, aiming for ~35 hl/ha for thecrus, no fertilisers (just a little compostevery 5 or 6 years) and no herbicides areused – weed control is only by ploughing.They effectively produce in an organic waybut don’t bother with the (considerable)effort for certification – it is enough forthem to know that they work in the bestway. “Just like life” says Christophe “the soilneeds to be a balance”. It is, of-course,more expensive to work this way but if there

is an equivalent increase in quality, thenthey can more than recoup that cost.

Domaine du Clos Frantin

Acquired in 1969 from Grivelet, thisthirteen hectare estate enjoys a roll-call ofCôte de Nuits Grand Crus; Richebourg,Chambertin, Grands-Echézeaux,Echézeaux, Clos de Vougeot plus thesecond largest holding of Vosne-Romanée1er Cru Malconsorts. They also producevillages Nuits, Vosne and Gevrey from theirown vines. The wines from this estate werenever very well reviewed but the Bichotmanagement have been working to changethat, indeed it was here that Alain Serveaupiloted his approach, an approach thatbrought gold for three of Clos du Frantin’swines in the IWC 2004, with their Grands-Echézeaux taking both the Pinot Noir andthe Red Burgundy trophy. Everything isnow vinified in Nuits as the old cuverie hadneither the space nor the configuration toproduce wines in the manner sought byAlain. The domaine was founded by one ofNapoleon 1st’s commanders – Field-Marshall Antoine Vincent Legrand, thename Clos du Frantin coming from a smallplot of villages Vosne at the edge of thevillage and across the road from both LaTâche and Les Chaumes. The Clos duFrantin was bottled by Grivelet (and also fora while Bichot) as a monopole but today isa blend with another block of vines aboveMalconsorts in Damaudes.

Domaine Clos du Pavillon

Now that Alain and Christophe are happierwith Clos du Frantin, together they areturning their attention to another Bichotdomaine in Pommard, the 17 hectare,90,000 bottle Domaine du Pavillon.Purchased in 1993 this has become thesite for vinifying all of Bichot’s Côte deBeaunes wines that range from Meursaultto Corton-Charlemagne and red Meursaultto Corton – 12 appellations in all –including 3 interesting monopoles; thePommard Clos des Ursulines and a noveltyin Corton, purchased in 1997, a clos thathas two distinct appellations; Corton Closdes Maréchaudes Grand Cru, andseparated by a pathway within the Clos,Aloxe-Corton 1er Clos des Maréchaudes.

PREMIER GRAND CRU

Château Margaux

The largest appellation in the Médoc,Margaux is famous for producing fragrant,well-balanced wines and since the 1570’s,Château Margaux has been leading theway. Generally regarded as the mostelegant of the first growths, ChâteauMargaux’s estate occupies 265 hectares ofchalky clays upon coarse and fine gravels,of which a third is used for wine production.The beautiful neo-palladian château, built inthe early 1800’s, is often called ‘theVersailles of the Médoc.’

Le Grand Vin is comprised of about 75%Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and atouch of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.Vinification takes place in both traditionalwooden and modern stainless steel vats.The estate was purchased in 1977 by theGreek grocery chain owner AndreMentzepoulos, whose program ofinvestment was carried on by his daughterafter his death in 1980. Winemaker PaulPontallier joined the team in 1983, but sadlyonly recently passed away.

Château Palmer

The birth of what we know of as ChâteauPalmer dates back to 1814 when theestate’s namesake, Colonel Charles Palmerarrived in France with the army ofthe future Duke of Wellington. The owner ofthe Margaux estate, (which as the time wasknown as Château de Gascq) was therecently divorced Madame de Gascq. Shewas trying to sell the property. When shemet Palmer, she told him in no uncertainterms that the Bordeaux wine they produceat Château de Gascq is as good as thewine of Château Lafite! Obviously Palmeragreed. It was not long after their initialmeeting that he purchased the famousMargaux estate and like many BordeauxChâteaux owners of their time, he renamedit Château Palmer. In 1938, four familiesthat owned some of the wealthiestBordeaux wine merchants joined forces tobuy equal shares of Château Palmer. TheGinestet family, the Miailhe family, the

Mahler-Besse family and the Sichel familyjoined together in their ownership ofChâteau Palmer. In time, the Mahler-Bessefamily and the Sichel family bought out theother two family holdings. The Ginestetfamily sold their shares of Château Palmerin 1950 and again in 1982 to Mahler-Besse. The Louis Miailhe family sold theirshares of Château Palmer to both theSichel family and the Mahler-Bessefamilies. The two majority shareholders ofChâteau Palmer today remain the same twofamiles, both of which are well known andrespected Bordeaux wine negociants,Mahler Besse and Sichel. In all, there are22 different share holders of ChâteauPalmer. In 2014, nothing changed whenanother large negociant , Borie Manoux,(which is managed by Philippe Casteja)entered the picture and purchased thenegociant firm of Mahler-Besse.

While Pauillac may only be 23 squarekilometers in size, it is very well representedin the 1855 Bordeaux classification,claiming three of the five premier grand cruclassés. Despite having a surprisinglyvariegated range of terroirs, there is still anidentifiable Pauillac full-bodied style,comprising the cassis-rich CabernetSauvignon fruit married with new oak. Rothschild is a powerful name in Pauillac,as both the French and British branchesare represented here. The French BaronJames de Rothschild purchased ChâteauLafite Rothschild in 1868. The estate wasalready established in the 1600’s; by the1700’s it was known as ‘The King’s wine.’Contrasted to its more powerful siblingChâteau Mouton Rothschild, Lafite isknown for its elegance and harmony,producing perfumed wines with finesse.

The precise blend depends on the vintage,but is generally comprised of 80-95%Cabernet Sauvignon and 5-20% Merlot,with a tiny bit of Cabernet Franc and PetitVerdot. Great vintages can easily last 50years or more. The English branch of the Rothschild familybought Château Brane-Mouton in 1853,renamed it Château Mouton Rothschild andimproved quality. Despite this, Mouton wasnamed a second growth in the 1855classification. Baron Philippe deRothschild, who took control in 1922,called this ‘la grande injustice,’ and finally in1973 Mouton was promoted to a premiergrand cru classé. The wine is generallyregarded as being the most outspoken andpowerful of all Bordeaux, and one of themost expensive.

Pessac-Léognan Château Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan is a relatively newappellation which was recognized in 1987as being the best sub-region in the Graves.Although Graves has its own wineclassification which stems from 1959,Château Haut-Brion stands alone as beingthe only wine from the Graves included inthe 1855 Bordeaux classification. Haut-Brion is actually the oldest of the firstgrowths, dating back to the 1530’s. TheAmerican Clarence Dillon purchased theestate in 1935 and it is still managed by hisfamily. Haut-Brion contains more Merlotthan is typical of left-bank wines, whichresults in a softer, more rounded style thatis recognized and appreciated all over theworld.

Pomerol Château Pétrus

Despite having no official classification anddespite rising to prominence only in the lasthalf of the 20th century, certain Pomerolwines command higher prices than manymore established Médoc chateaux, andthere is no better example of this thanChâteau Pétrus. Most of this small estate’s11.4 hectares is comprised of layers of claywhich are favourable to Merlot and areresponsible for the soft but abundanttannins Pétrus is known for. Some of theoldest vines in Bordeaux are to be foundhere; replanting occurs only after 70 years.Although records of Pétrus date back to1837, the estate’s rise really begins after1962, when the Moeuix family bought a halfshare in the property. Today, Pétrus may beconsidered a true cult wine where demandfar exceeds supply. This makes Pétrus oneof the most expensive and cherished winesin the world.

Château Le Pin

Le Pin is one of the most expensiveBordeaux wines as well as one of thepriciest wines in the world. It’s unclassifiedand its first vintage was only a few decadesago. With that in mind, when you look at LePin, it’s still truly a young Pomerol wine.Since 1924, Château Le Pin had been theproperty of the Laubie family. The grapeswere sold or blended to produce other,fine, but undistinguished Pomerol winesuntil 1978. That changed in 1979, when thewell known Thienpont family, headed byLeon Thienpont, the father of AlexandreThienpont bought the 2 hectare propertyfor one million French Francs. In thosedays, that was a lot of money. At the time ofthe sale, the cellars Le Pin were in poorcondition. The chai was nothing more thana shed that had been used to storegardening tools. The dilapidated house onthe property needed work. BeforeAlexandre Thienpont took up residence atthe estate after he was married, it waswhere he lived for a period of time. At first,it was thought that the vines of Château LePin would become part of Vieux ChâteauCertan. But that idea quickly faded awayand Le Pin was born. The next investmentfor Le Pin was made by Jacques Thienpont.It was his idea for the addition of a single,50 hectoliter, stainless steel vat. The debutvintage of Le Pin was aged in used, Frenchoak barrels that were passed down fromVieux Château Certan. The cellar was asimple, small, cool, cement room with theability to hold only a few rows of barrels.The first vintage of Le Pin sold for awhopping 100 French Francs per bottle!The price was a lot lower than VieuxChâteau Certan was selling for at that time.

It’s funny to think about it now, but even atthat low price, buyers for 1979 Le Pin werehard to find. However, things quicklychanged for the fortunes and the future ofJacques Thienpont and Le Pin after RobertParker heaped effusive praise for the winefrom the 1982 vintage. From that pointforward, Le Pin became the first wine ofBordeaux selling for as much, or more thanmost First Growth Bordeaux wines.

The vineyard’s of Le Pin are looked over byAlexandre Thienpont, who also managesVieux Château Certan. Jacques Thienpontmakes and sells the wine. Le Pin took itsname from the lone pine tree, situated nearthe winery. The winery and Château were,until recently, rather humble for a propertybefitting the stature of Le Pin, a wine thatcan sell for several thousand dollars perbottle! However, starting in 2010, JacquesTheinpont began construction of a newChâteau and wine making facility. The newwinery was completed in 2012, just in timeto work on the 2011 vintage at Le Pin.Robert Parker is perhaps as responsible asanyone for making the Pomerol wine of LePin so famous, coveted and expensive.Prior to the 1982 vintage, not many peopleoutside of Pomerol had yet heard of thewine. Robert Parker’s initial review of Le Pinwas lukewarm at best. By the time 1982 LePin began to develop, Robert Parkerchanged his tune. Quickly, his enthusiastic,descriptive, praise for the 1982 Le Pinvintage caused collectors to seek it out.With only a few hundred cases per yearbeing made, it was only a matter of timeuntil Le Pin became priced as a luxury item.

RHÔNE

Côte Rôtie E. Guigal

Rising steeply from the banks of the Rhôneriver between Vienne and Ampuis, theterraced hillside vineyards that comprisethe Côte Rôtie appellation can rise up to330 metres high and face south-east,thereby obtaining the maximum amount ofdirect sunlight. This exposure to the fullday’s sun produces wines which are ripeand rich in character; indeed, ‘Côte Rôtie’means ‘roasted hill’ in French. Two noticeably different styles of Syrah areproduced from two differing hillsides.Lighter, fruitier and more approachablewines come from the Côte Blonde with itssandy soils on limestone. Producers hereoften add up to 20% Viognier to bring extra

elegance and balance to their wines. Morestructured and tannic wines come from thethe Côte Brune with its iron soils, oftenwithout the addition of Viognier. This dynamic region produces some ofFrance’s most cherished and expensivewines, so it is easy to forget that for muchof the 20th century, Côte Rôtie wasneglected and in decline. Its renaissance islargely due to Etienne and Marcel Guigal,whose excellent wines from La Mouline onthe Côte Blonde, and La Landonne and LaTurque on the Côte Brune are in greatdemand all over the world, thus promotingthe region in general.

Hermitage

The sumptuous wines of Hermitage can betraced back to the court of King Louis XIIIin the 17th century, and were also enjoyed inEngland at that time. Syrah vines plantedon the south-facing granite hillside in thetown of Tain l’Hermitage produce apowerful wine which is long-lived and fullbodied. Perhaps the single most famous wineproduced here is Paul Jaboulet Aîné’s LaChapelle, which takes its name from thechapel at the top of hill, rumoured to havebeen built by the Chevalier de Sterimberg,who had returned wounded from theCrusades in the Holy Land. The Jabouletestate was founded in 1834 but waspurchased by the Frey family (owners ofChâteau La Lagune) in 2006. La Chapellecontinues to be a leading light for theRhône valley and is consistently praised bywine critics around the world. An even older estate is Domaine Jean-LouisChave, whose Hermitage is even pricierthan Jaboulet’s. The Chave family havebeen winemakers in the Rhône Valley since1481, and the estate has grown and beenpassed from generation to generation sincethen. Chave’s success comes from carefuland expert blending of grapes fromdifferent plots of land with different terroirs,all vinified separately. Chave’s Hermitage isa long-lived wine, and drinks best after 20years of age.

CHAMPAGNE

Champagne Tattinger Collection Series

The Taittinger Collection Series wasconceived in the late 1970’s by ClaudeTaittinger. Long a patron of the arts, with apassionate interest in the modern schoolsof painting and sculpture, he perceived anatural alliance between the creation of theartist and the art of the great winemaker.Thus, in 1983, Champagne Taittingerintroduced the first of its revolutionaryCollection Series, uniting art andChampagne in the design of a specialbottle with a laser-sealed sheath thatvisually expresses the artist’s concept ofthe magic of Champagne. Featuring thework of artists such as the French surrealistAndré Masson, American pop artist RobertRauschenberg, and more recently therenowned Senegalese painter AmadouSow, these exquisite bottles arecommissioned well into the 21st century,and will perpetuate Champagne Taittinger’saffiliation with the greatest artists of ourtime.The Taittinger Collection Series bottles arereleased only in great vintages, from aselection of the year’s finest cuvées. Thewines are made from Chardonnay mainlyfrom the Grands Crus of the Côte desBlancs, and Pinot Noir from Montagne deReims and Vallée de la Marne vineyards.The fruit is pressed in the vineyards and thefirst pressing is transported to the wineryfor fermentation, followed by a secondfermentation in the bottle. Aged for five ormore years on the lees, the wine acquirescomplexity and the fine, pinpoint bubblescharacteristic of its sparkle.

1978: The first bottle design in the TaittingerCollection Series, for the 1978 vintage, wascommissioned from Victor Vasarely (1906–1997), the Hungarian French Op Art (orOptical Art) master whose visualexperiments informed the aesthetics of ourdigital age. Op art was a movementbeginning in 1964 that involvedmathematically precise optical illusions thatoften seem to be moving.1981: Arman (1928–2005) who designedthe 1981 vintage bottle, who was known inthe 1960’s for his “accumulations”—massesof identical common objects, such astrumpets or axes, welded into a singlecomposition. Musical instruments in variousstages of deconstruction were a majortheme in his work.

73

Page 76: Catalogue Winefield's 10th anniversary auction WF40 part one

1982: Painter and graphic artist AndréMasson (1896–1987) contributed the artfor the 1982 Collection Series bottle.Masson’s work reflects an early interest inCubism and a long association withSurrealism, which introduced him to theirrational in art. He is famous for using anautomatic script, a sort of handwriting ofthe subconscious, to create powerfullyaffecting drawings, including pictures madefrom glue and colored sand. He iscelebrated in the United States for inspiringAbstract Expressionism.1983: The work of the Portuguese-bornFrench painter Maria Helena Vieira da Silva(1908–1992) decorates the 1983 vintagebottle. Vieira da Silva’s best-known worksconsist of geometric brushstrokes of coloron a neutral field, which seem to depictslices of landscape or architecture, as ifseen through shattered glass.

1985: Roy Lichtenstein (1923–1997) is abeloved New York artist best known for hisvibrant Pop Art paintings and prints. Thesewere inspired by comics and advertising,and often reproduce the familiar plotframes, dialogue bubbles and dot printingof comic books. The work most oftenparodies social norms. His iconic imageryis featured on the 1985 Collection Seriesbottle.1986: Hans Hartung (1904–1989) wasborn in Germany but fled to France after hisart was deemed degenerate by the Nazis,and joined the French Foreign Legion. Hisgestural paintings, featuring longbrushstrokes and scrapes, were aninspiration to American abstract artists ofthe 1960’s and 70’s.1988: Japanese painter Toshimitsu Imaï(1928–2002) showed a great sensitivity tocolor throughout his career, creatingabstract works that sometimes integratedwords into the composition, linking paintingto poetry. In the mid-1950’s, he wasinstrumental in introducing Europeanabstract art to Japan.1990: Corneille (1922–2010) was a Dutchartist whose lyrical paintings, oftenincluding cats, women and birds, arebeloved for their color and apparentwhimsy. In the 1950’s, he broke open theconservative Dutch art world, making artmore accessible to the people. His workadorns the 1990 Collection Series bottle.1992: Roberto Matta (1911–2002) was aChilean painter, a member of the Surrealistmovement whose work broke away fromestablished styles to explore his own innerand outer universe, often representing hissocial and political convictions in fantasticalfigural or abstracted cosmic visions. Manyof his works appear as if dreamlike visionsof outer-space landscapes.

1998: Considered among China’s mostimportant artists although he has long livedin France, Zao Wou-Ki (1921– ) producessubtle and highly textured abstractions thatsuggest light and movement on canvas,and now on the bottle of the 1988Collection Series vintage. In his work,Western abstraction combines with ahistorically Chinese aesthetic.

Krug Clos du Mesnil

The Krug family purchased Clos du Mesnilin 1971. Krug had sourced fruit from othervineyards in Mesnil for years, but had nevereven known of the existence of the Closuntil the property was put up for sale, whichis hard to imagine in today’s world ofsatellite imaging and technology. The earlyvintages from Clos du Mesnil were used forthe Grande Cuvée. Like all wines at Krug,the parcels from Clos du Mesnil werevinified and aged separately. Over thecourse of the years, Krug noticed that thewines from the Clos were unique, and in1979 bottled a trial version of Clos duMesnil as an experiment. It was the firstsingle-vineyard wine Krug had everproduced. The wine was released in 1986and the rest, as they say, is history. Sincethen Clos du Mesnil has become the crownjewel in the estate’s lineup. Clos du Mesnilmeasures 1.84 hectares and is farmed andvinified in five or six separate parcels, someof which may be excluded from the finalassemblage. Part of what makes the Closunique is the walls themselves, which act topreserve heat and protect the vineyard fromthe elements, never a bad thing in a coldregion like Champagne. Clos du Mesnil ismaintained as a separate winemakingfacility that handles all of the wines made inthe Clos, plus other wines from the villageof Mesnil that are vinified by Krug.Oenologist Julie Cavil oversees the small-scaled, artisan level production at thewinery.
