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.
1992 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Clos de la Barre Meursault from this lot has the following scores - CellarTracker 91 points, Wine Spectator 90 points. This is the tasting note for 1992 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Clos de la Barre Meursault from Robert Parker - This site often ages as well or better than some of Lafon's premiers crus, and the 1992 Meursault Clos de la Barre is still drinking beautifully at age 30. Wafting from the glass with aromas of white peach, confit citrus, drawn butter, almond paste and flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a generous core of fruit underpinned by lively acids. If you're holding this, there's really no reason to wait.
