Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1928
3 bottles per lot
FINE WINES THE WORLD OVER, FEATURING EARLY 20th-CENTURY HUET This collection of fine wines is impressive for both with its breadth and depth. Claret and Burgundy are well represented, most impressively by DRC and Haut-Brion. What makes this collection a wine collector's dream, however, are the things that aren't often seen in auction: specifically the rare Hill of Grace, and the Vouvrays from Huet. The Huet was purchased at a Christie's London sale in 2004. It was removed from the Huet cellars specifically for that sale. The bottles were recorked either for the sale, or in the previous ten years, and tasting notes from the collection confirm what lovers of old Vouvray already know: these wines age gracefully and majestically. Unfortunately, they don't come up for auction too often, so bid now! All of the wines in this consignment were removed by Christie's specialists from temperature controlled home storage for this sale. HAUT-BRION Château Haut-Brion has been highly regarded for many centuries, being mentioned in Samuel Pepy's diary in 1663. In 1935 Haut-Brion was bought by the American banker, Clarence Dillon. His descendents still own the estate in the form of his grand-daughter Joan Dillon who is the President and her son, His Royal Highness Prince Robert of Luxembourg, the Vice President and Managing Director. In 1983 the Dillons acquired the next door property La Mission Haut-Brion. The average age of the vines is over 35 years, with some vines dating from the 1930's. The red grapes are sorted in the vineyard, then brought to the winery and destemmed, lightly crushed to break open the skins and pumped into tanks. Indigenous yeasts are used for the alcoholic fermentation and the temperature is carefully controlled. Maceration lasts for approximately 15 days. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally due to the presence of natural lactic bacteria. The wines from different vats are blended and then transferred to predominantly new oak barrels for between 18 to 24 months. Haut-Brion has its own cooperage which ensures that the Château has complete control over the toasting of the barrels, which is normally medium-minus. Haut-Brion is renowned for the classic Graves earthy and smoky character, combined with the opulent and approachable nature provided by the higher proportion of Merlot in comparison to the other Médoc First Growths. PRE-WAR VINTAGES OF HAUT-BRION Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1928 Pessac-Léognan, 1er cru classé Levels: two top shoulder, one upper shoulder; one slightly protruding cork, one signs of old seepage and lightly corroded capsule at top, bin soiled labels, two nicked labels, one loose label at edge, Château embossed short lead capsules, two light pink, one dark pink due to mixed importers, all with vintage visible on cork 3 bottles per lot
