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.
1998 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 96 points, Neal Marting 96 points. This is the tasting note for 1998 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan from Robert Parker - As reported over the last two years, this is a prodigious Haut-Brion. It exhibits a dense ruby/purple color in addition to a tight, but incredibly promising nose of smoke, earth, minerals, lead pencil, black currants, cherries, and spice. This full-bodied wine unfolds slowly, but convincingly on the palate, revealing a rich, multi-tiered, stunningly pure, symmetrical style with wonderful sweetness, ripe tannin, and a finish that lasts for nearly 45 seconds. It tastes like liquid nobility. Anticipated maturity - 2008-2035.
