S otheby’s Hong Kong is delighted to present Vine | A Breathtaking Collection of Domaine Bizot + More, an impressive single owner sale that will be accepting bids from 17 to 26 February.
The consignor of this collection began his wine journey almost a decade ago, when he was a consultant for a global conglomerate of wines and spirits. As his interest in wine grew he went on to earn a Diploma in Wines and Spirits, and before long his home cellar and various wine refrigerators were soon filled with wines from all around the world. As his interests and travels grew so did his cellars, which spanned the U.K., the U.S. and Hong Kong.
His initial love for wine started with the finesse of German Riesling’s (which unfortunately are not on offer this time) and the ethereal Burgundian Pinot Noirs. As he continued his journey in wine, he found himself taking a turn toward the “natural” category, which opened the door to an appreciation of a broader spectrum of wine styles. This offering presents a wonderful reflection of the collector's tastes and focus on great estates that are not often encountered.
香港蘇富比再度欣呈單一藏家網上專場「葡萄美酒 | 精彩窖藏特選 Domaine Bizot」,拍賣將於2月17日至26日開始接受競投。
本窖藏浩瀚淵博,令人歎為觀止,藏主約十年前為一間國際葡萄酒與烈酒企業集團提供諮詢服務,從那時起踏上洋酒收藏之路。不久以後,他成功取得葡萄酒與烈酒文憑,並從英國、美國及香港引入各地珍釀,迅速填滿家中酒櫃,建立起一系列個人收藏。
起初,這位藏家特別鍾愛口感細膩的德國雷司令白酒(可惜今次並無上拍),以及高貴脫俗的布艮地黑皮諾。隨著他在洋酒世界繼續探索,他發現自己開始傾情採用天然方式釀製的佳釀,從此涉獵更多不同風格的美酒佳醇。藉著今次拍賣,我們得以深入了解這位藏家的個人品味,與廣大愛酒劉伶分享這個難得一遇的非凡窖藏,共饗其美。
Jean-Yves started experimenting from 1993 and eventually taking the helm of the family domaine in 1995. He treats every cuvée equally, allowing the land to express their sense of place through the grapes (and stems, as he uses whole-bunches). This notion of simplicity matched well with our collector’s personal preference, as his palate and understanding of wine trended toward purity and transparency over time.
Over the years Jean-Yves has really mastered his skills and style, and that’s when our collector started to go into great lengths in collecting what he interprets as a perfect wine.
Jean-Yves在 1993年開展釀酒旅程,1995年接掌家業,成為酒莊莊主。他對每批出品一視同仁,傾注大量心血,以葡萄(和梗)的天然風味呈現莊園風土的特色。這種簡單純粹的釀製手法,與窖藏主人的喜好不謀而合——隨著時間過去,這位藏家對洋酒的見解日益加深,他的口味亦有所改變,傾向選擇天然純淨的佳釀。
多年來,Jean-Yves悉心鑽研釀酒技藝,磨礪出獨一無二的個人風格。正是此時,我們的藏家亦開始不遺餘力地建立Domaine Bizot收藏,致力蒐集心中的完美佳釀。

Bourgogne Les Violettes BlancThis vineyard is located in Vosne-Romanée just bordering Clos de Vougeot. It has been in the family since the middle of the 20th century and interestingly it has always been planted with Chardonnay.
此葡萄園位於Vosne-Romanée,與Clos de Vougeot特級園接壤。自20世紀中開始屬 Bizot 家族所有,有趣是一直種植莎當妮。

Vosne-Romanée Vieilles VignesNow extinct and rare to find, with its last vintage being 2009 after extremely low temperature destroyed the last of the old vines.

Vosne-Romanée Les JachéesA village appellation and Domaine Bizot is the only one to bottle this separately, as Jean-Yves finds it an interesting wine to be on its own. It is also the biggest parcel of the domaine.
村莊級法定產地,Domaine Bizot是唯一把此田獨立裝瓶的酒莊,因為Jean-Yves認為她非常有個人特色,絕對值得獨立。Les Jachées亦是酒莊所有的葡萄園中面積最大的。

Vosne-Romanée Les Réas
-
Vosne-Romanée 1er CruBasically a declassified Échézeaux and is not produced every year: Bizot’s holdings in Échézeaux comes from two lieux-dits: Les Treux and Les Orveaux. The Orveaux is bottled as Échézeaux, and the Treux is bottled as Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru (as Jean-Yves does not want to produce two Échézeaux). However, in low yielding vintages the two will be blended to make Échézeaux Grand Cru.
基本上是「降級」的特級Échézeaux——Bizot酒莊在Échézeaux 特級園所佔的採收量來自Les Treux 和 Les Orveaux兩塊稱地,於Les Orveaux 採收的,裝瓶為Échézeaux Grand Cru;在Les Treux 採收的,則標示為Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru,全因Jean-Yves 不想出產兩款Échézeaux。不過,在產量較少的年份,兩者會混調成為Échézeaux Grand Cru,因此Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru並非每年均有生產。

ÉchézeauxThe domaine’s flagship, as well as the only Grand Cru it produces. Production is just roughly five barrels and we are thrilled to offer more than 70 bottles from 2002 to 2017 in this auction.
酒莊的旗艦酒款,亦是唯一的特級園佳釀。年產量只有大約五桶,我們很榮幸能在本場拍賣呈獻逾70瓶2002至2017年份。

“……for those lucky enough to experience them, it is obvious that Domaine Bizot’s wines belong in the pantheon of the very greatest of red Burgundies.”
We hope you can discover gems within more than 320 bottles of the Bizot collection.
「⋯⋯如有幸親嚐Domaine Bizot佳釀,就會知道他們堪登布艮地紅酒的殿堂。」
我們衷心希望各位藏家能在逾320瓶Bizot珍釀中覓得心頭好。
Elsewhere in Burgundy, highlights of white wines include a vertical of Francois Raveneau’s Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos, mature vintages of Domaine d’Auvenay, a brace of Domaine Arnaud Ente’s magical 2002’s and finally the ultra-low yielding 2016 vintage of the legendary Montrachet from Domaine Ramonet.
除Domaine Bizot以外,今次拍賣呈獻多款品質上乘的布艮地白酒,包括Francois Raveneau 酒莊夏布利特級園佳釀、陳年已久的Domaine d’Auvenay、兩瓶2002年Arnaud Ente,以及產量極少的2016年Domaine Ramonet Montrachet。
Focusing back to the reds of Burgundy, a wonderful vertical of both Georges Mugneret-Gibourg’s Ruchottes-Chambertin and Clos Vougeot are on offer. A love of Vosne Romanee is evident throughout with rare bottles from Domaine Leroy including its Vosne-Romanée Aux Brulées 1993 a highlight, along with the much sought-after wines from Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair and Emanuel Rouget. Vosne Romanée, Cros Parantoux 1996 Emmanuel Rouget. Also not to be missed are the two bottles of Musigny by Monthelie-Douhairet-Porcheret (only 0.015 hectares, making it the smallest plot in the whole of Côte de Nuits), which is made by Andre Porcheret who worked with Domaine Leroy prior to the 1993 vintage.
紅酒方面,窖藏海納Georges Mugneret-Gibourg酒莊Ruchottes-Chambertin及Clos Vougeot 垂直年份、Domaine Leroy的罕有珍釀如1993年Vosne-Romanée Aux Brulées;還有備受藏家推崇的Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair 2017年Vosne Romanée、Emmanuel Rouget 1996年Vosne Romanée, Cros Parantoux、Domaine Bachelet 1999年Charmes Chambertin, Vieilles Vignes。此外,拍賣罕有呈獻兩瓶Monthelie-Douhairet-Porcheret 酒莊的Musigny(僅佔0.015公頃,是整個夜丘區面積最小的地塊),這是1993年前曾經任職Domaine Leroy 的Andre Porcheret釀製的作品,絕對彌足珍貴。
The consignor is also a big fan of the great whites of the Jura and in particular the cult wines of Domaine des Miroirs, crafted by the elusive Japanese winemaker Kagami Kenjiro and also offered is a small parcel of Pierre Overnoy’s (now Emmanuel Houillon’s).
這位藏家亦非常欣賞汝拉(Jura)產區的出品,包括數瓶由日本釀酒大師鏡健二郎釀造、最近廣受藏家歡迎的Domaine des Miroirs,以及少量Pierre Overnoy(現名為Emmanuel Houillon)。
