Totally dry, it comes across as sweet because of its highly extracted, ripe fruit. Opaque purple/black-colored, with a knock-out nose of black fruit (cassis and black-raspberries), this wine hits the palate with phenomenal concentration that brilliantly manages to be neither heavy nor overbearing. Plenty of velvety tannin is concealed behind the fruit's remarkable intensity. The wine's purity, presence, and finish are unbelievable. I predict this wine will turn out to be a legend!"(98pts) 1 bottle per lot $350-500 4227 Koehler Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1999 nl (Wines Located in New York) 1 bottle per lot $20-30 4228 Calera Pinot Noir - Vintage 1995 20th Anniversary (Wines Located in New York) 4 bottles per lot $100-140 4229 Peter Michael Pinot Noir - Vintage 2005 Le Moulin Rouge 3bsl (Wines Located in New York) 3 bottles per lot $220-300 4230 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir - Vintage 1992 Olivet Lane 2tl (Wines Located in New York) 6 bottles per lot $320-480 4231 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir - Vintage 1999 Sonoma County bsl, wasl (Wines Located in New York) 1 magnum per lot $60-80 4232 Acacia Chardonnay - Vintage 2000 Carneros (Wines Located in New half-bottle (1) York) Cambria Chardonnay - Vintage 2004 Santa Maria Valley (Wines half-bottle (2) Located in New York) De Loach Chardonnay - Vintage 2006 Russian River Valley (Wines (1) Located in New York) Edna Valley Chardonnay - Vintage 2000 Paragon Vineyard 2lbsl (Wines half-bottle (2) Located in New York) - Vintage 2006 Paragon Vineyard (Wines (2) Located in New York) Grgich Hills Chardonnay - Vintage 2000 (Wines Located in New York) half-bottle (2) Heitz Cellars Chardonnay - Vintage 2007 nl (Wines Located in New York) (1) Kendall Jackson Chardonnay - Vintage 2000 Vintner's Reserve (Wines Located (1) in New York) Kendall Jackson Grand Reserve Chardonnay - Vintage 2003 (Wines Located in New York) (1) Lewis Cellars Chardonnay - Vintage 2006 Race Car (Wines Located in New (2) York) Morgan Chardonnay - Vintage 1999 bsl, tl (Wines Located in New (1) York) Patz & Hall Chardonnay - Vintage 2002 Dutton Ranch (Wines Located in (1) New York) Above 7 half-bottles per lot $200-300 and 10 bottles

A top vintage of Corton-Charlemagne was the only wine I could think of when I was smelling and tasting this extraordinary wine.

Laurent 2lscl, 1tl (Wines Located in New York) "...But great wine has a way of focusing your mind, and from the first whiff it was clear that here was a grand cru completely different and no less compelling. Candied black raspberries, violets, buddleia, iodine, and hints of caramel issue an enticing call from the glass. On the palate, this offers counterpoint of bitter fruit pits; medicinal iodine and herbal concentrates; bitter-sweet floral perfume; fresh berry puree; and savory, carnal pan reductions. The tenderness and caress characteristic of some of the best 2006s are present here in spades, and in this Pinot's velvety embrace, I started to forget all about that frightening Clos de la Roche! Had you asked me what this was blind, I'm sure I would have said "Musigny." Incidentally, Laurent relates that these vines were planted around the time of the First World War, but that unfortunately, in 2007 he couldn't access their fruit which served for three barrels in 2006. Dominique Laurent whose methodology I attempted to clarify in a bit more detail in my report for issue 171 purchased fewer wines in 2006 (not all of which I tasted) than he had in 2005, particularly at the lower end of the classificatory spectrum and in the Côte de Beaune. On the other hand, there were some correspondingly sweet opportunities, he noted, to expand acquisitions in top-notch crus due to initial hesitation of many negociants to buy heavily into this vintage. Laurent was highly enthusiastic about the quality of the wines he did raise, which in the glass often proved even more infectious than his enthusiasm and that's saying something! What's more, although these wines generally produced in 50-250 case quantities have a reputation for high prices, most of these 2006s especially in their upper-echelons strike me as exhibiting excellent price:quality rapport. While absence of chaptalization and absence of sulfur during the elevage remain constant features this year, less of the wine Laurent purchased and raised from 2006 was vinified with stems than in most years. Vieilles Vignes," incidentally, is used like a brand name chez Laurent, referring to all of his better wines, whereas his "Tradition" line none of which I tasted consists of cuvées rendered in slightly larger volumes and exclusively for the French market. Since the words "Vieilles Vignes" are prominently displayed on the label, I have included them as part of each wine's description, although one will often see Laurent's same top wines referred to without that designation. "(95pts) 3 bottles per lot $260-300 4254 Gevrey Chambertin - Vintage 2006 Les Cazetiers, Vieilles Vignes, D. Laurent (Wines Located in New York) (93pts) 2 bottles per lot $130-150 4255 Mazis Chambertin - Vintage 2006 Vieilles Vignes, D. Laurent (Wines Located in New York) "Black cherry preserves, toasted pecan, peat, and iodine inform the powerful and pungent nose of Laurent's 2006 Mazis Chambertin Vieilles Vignes, representing an assemblage of juice from both the Mazis-Hauts and Mazis-Bas sections of that cru. This is another sumptuously rich, palpably dense, but finely tannic Laurent 2006, and the suggestions of mineral and animal dimensions are more evolved, deeper, and more intriguing than in the corresponding Charmes. It finishes with superb persistence, promising to reward 12-15 years of cellaring, and probably best left untouched for the first 4-6 of those. "(93pts) 4 bottles per lot $400-550 4256 Nuits St. Georges - Vintage 2006 Les St. Georges, Vieilles Vignes, D. Laurent (Wines Located in New York) 3 bottles per lot $240-260 4257 Nuits St. Georges - Vintage 2006 Les Vaucrains, D. Laurent 1lwrl (Wines Located in New York) "The Laurent 2006 Nuits St.-Georges Les Vaucrains Vieilles Vignes once again representing three barrels from a parcel of vines planted in the 1920s, its fruit only around half de-stemmed shares with the corresponding Les Argillieres its underlying sense of stoniness and of abundant though fine-grained tannins. A plum cake-like sense of dried pit fruit and brown spices as well as of luscious density informs this wine's formidable yet already enticing palate. There may not yet be a wealth of nuance on display here, nor is there the kinetic dimension of buoyancy that accrues to many of the best 2006s. But as this monumentally rich, positively-powerful, for now seemingly vintage a-typical Pinot unfolds, there are going to be happy faces among the few lucky enough to own some. I would plan to revisit this in 2011 or 2012 and anticipate at least half a dozen years of impressive performance thereafter. "(93pts) 3 bottles per lot $190-220 Download 5.82 Mb.
