This collection was established in 1992, sparked by a flight of Chateau Margaux that included the landmark 1982 vintage. Between 1993 and 2000, the owner built the cellar through the SAQ Courrier Vinicole, acquiring 100–125 bottles of First through Fifth Growth Bordeaux annually as futures, while selectively adding premier 1980s vintages through special SAQ offerings. As the sole proprietor, he has ensured the wines remained in consistent storage within his brother’s cellar. Following the sale of his brother’s home, the owner is now offering these long-held bottles to the market. This offering represents a carefully curated, single-owner cellar with 100% SAQ provenance.
1995 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac from this lot has the following scores - James Suckling 98 points, Wine Spectator 96 points. This is the tasting note for 1995 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac from Robert Parker - The 1995 Lafite-Rothschild (only one-third of the harvest made it into the final blend) is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 8% Cabernet Franc. The wine was showing spectacularly well when I tasted it in November, 1997. It exhibits a dark ruby purple color, and a sweet, powdered mineral, smoky, weedy cassis-scented nose. Beautiful sweetness of fruit is present in this medium-bodied, tightly-knit, but gloriously pure, well-delineated Lafite. The 1995 is not as powerful or as massive as the 1996, but it is beautifully made with outstanding credentials, in addition to remarkable promise. .
