Bordeaux and Rhone highlights at first auction of year on 7th January.
2012 is going to get to a bright start for wine collectors in Hong Kong with Zachys first auction of the year on the 7th January selling off some highly collectable Bordeaux and Rhone wines among others.
New release from famed champagne producer.
Françoise Bedel is one of the stars of the Champagne biodynamic movement. Based in Crouttes-sur-marne (Champagne’s most famous region), this grower champagne producer is an important figure in the region and has the goal of making well-balanced, high quality and harmonious wines. Using traditional methods only, the wines rely heavily on Pinot Meunier, which is quite rare compared to the outside world.
Auction house has last auction of record breaking year.
2011 has been a great year for auction house Zachys. They celebrated their most successful record breaking year with an evening auction and evening dinner at The Mandarin Oriental on Friday 18 November and a full auction session on Saturday 19 November.
Richebourg in Languedoc?
According to Master of Wine Jancis Robinson; “Anne Gros is one of the most respected, and most fortunate, wine producers in the world. As an only child, she inherited all of her father François’s three hectares of prime Côte d’Or vineyard land around Vosne- Romanée, at the age of 22.
Anne GROS is now famous for her Richebourg Grand Cru, Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru that she turned 100% bio-dynamic many years ago. She is probably the most respected female winemaker of Burgundy with Lalou Bize Leroy.
This burgundian lady, together with Jean Paul Tollot, has combined their over 20 years of expertise and experience in Burgundy making and has established an entirely new domaine in France’s most challenging wine region, the Languedoc, the Minervois, in pursuit of another ecologically respectable house.
The new Champagne star.
The brightest new star to emerge from the Grower Champagne movement is Olivier Collin, in the small village of Congy, south of the Cote des Blancs.
Inspired by Jacques Selosse after working with him in 2001, he described it as “one of those encounters that changes your life”. Spurred into action, in 2003 he reacquired 4.5 Ha of family vineyards that had been rented out for years to Pommery.
