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.
1991 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Charmes Premier Cru from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 93 points, CellarTracker 91 points. This is the tasting note for 1991 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Charmes Premier Cru from Robert Parker - The 1991 Meursault-Les Charmes displays incredible extract, remarkable power, fabulous richness, and a multi-dimensional personality. This superb wine is oozing with mineral-like, buttery, popcorn and apple-blossom-scented fruit. Long, unctuous, and chewy, this formidably endowed wine should drink beautifully for another 10-15 years. Lafon's 1991s are the wines of the vintage. Modestly, Lafon says he took some unnecessary gambles by waiting out the rains and picking late, harvesting fruit that was not diluted. The results are splendidly rich, full-bodied wines with amazing intensity. They are as exceptional as the 1990s, and superior to Lafon's 1988s, 1987s, and 1986s. Average yields were 25 hectoliters per hectare, compared to 55-70 at other domaines. Three of the four single-vineyard Meursaults were outstanding.
