This consignor, who was Cellerier for the Confreie des Chevaliers du Tastevin for 10 years and the Grand Senechal for 5 years, began collecting wine in 1985, after he worked in Switzerland with a professor and Burgundy enthusiast. A visit to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti to pick up a mixed case of 1985 DRC—and tasting a 1962 Richebourg—sealed his passion for fine wine. His collection was sourced primarily on release, either in Europe, Western Canada, or the U.S. Wines requiring long-term aging are stored in a passive underground cellar in Whistler, kept at 40–48°F with 45–55% humidity. Shorter-term bottles are held in a second underground cellar at home, averaging 52°F and 50% humidity. He also maintains a cellar at his farm in Sweden, dedicated mainly to white Burgundy and white Rhône wines, purchased at source and transported directly from France. Due to the high humidity (97%) and low average temperature (38°F), bottles there are wrapped in plastic to protect the labels—conditions that provide near-perfect aging for whites.
1991 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Clos de la Barre Meursault from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 91 points, CellarTracker 90 points. This is the tasting note for 1991 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Clos de la Barre Meursault from Robert Parker - The superb 1991 Meursault-Clos de la Barre is as compelling as the magnificent 1989. It was put in the bottle unfined and unfiltered, so do not be surprised by any sediment that forms within the next 6-12 months. The wine offers up a magnificent nose of minerals, buttery apples, and spring flowers. Honeyed, rich, and full-bodied, this deep, layered wine exhibits low acidity, as well as sensational balance and depth.
