A passionate and seasoned collector from Toronto, who has been buying fine wine since 1978. He purchased his first case of Mouton Rothschild and Chateau Latour at the vintage store in Ottawa and many bottles through the SAQ. He and his wife love traveling to wine regions in France and Italy and they acquired numerous bottles during their journeys. After downsizing to a smaller space, he decided to reduce his collection, hoping it will find a new owner who will appreciate it as much as he has. The collection was kept in his temperature-controlled cellar before going to auction.
Producer notes - Château La Gomerie is a tiny, “garagiste” producer of a high-end St.-Emilion. The 6.2-acre estate is in St.-Emilion, on the right bank of the Gironde River. The vineyards were purchased in 1995 by brothers Gerard and Dominique Becot, who also own Château Beau-Sejour Becot. La Gomerie is a 100% Merlot made in very small quantities of about 10,000 bottles a year. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that La Gomerie is “a Le Pin look-alike,” and “like most garage wines, it is made from extremely ripe fruit and low yields…Another fine success from the talented Becot brothers.”
