Bid on this bottle of 1964 Branaire-Ducru, St-Julien. According to The Wine Cellar Insider: "In 1824, the grand chateau that is still in use today was built. It took almost 200 years for the Ducru portion of the wines name to make its way to the label. In 1875, with no direct descendants, Gustave Ducru, a more distant relative took over the Medoc property and added his name to the label, which gave us Chateau Branaire Ducru. Patrick Maroteaux bought Branaire Ducru in 1988 from the Tapie family who owned Chateau Branaire Ducru since 1919. Prior to his arrival at Branaire Ducru, Patrick Maroteaux had no prior experience in the wine business. Since his purchase, Patrick Maroteaux has focused much of his efforts on performing extensive work in the vineyards and in the cellars of Branaire Ducru. He also quickly began reducing the yields. He also increased the size of their vineyards by 10 hectares. Patrick was also interested in modernizing their winemaking techniques."

Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 1964 Montrose, St-Estephe (94JG, 93VN, 92RP). John Gilman: "Legend has it that the only northern Médocs that picked before the rain in 1964 were Montrose, Gruaud Larose and Latour. I have had fine bottles of all three, and this most recent bottle of 1964 Montrose was utterly stupendous. The deep and pure bouquet explodes from the glass in a blaze of sweet cassis, tobacco, gravelly soil tones, new leather and a pungent topnote of violet. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and complex, with great focus, shockingly tangy acidity, utterly brilliant transparency and superb length and grip on the palate-staining and light on its feet finish. This is one of the finest vintages of Montrose that I have tasted (outside of the legendary 1921), as it is a timeless and brilliant wine that does not derive its beauty from the heavy make-up of a vintage such as the 1989 or 1990.

Bid on this bottle of 1964 Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac. Château Lafite Rothschild is one of the five First Growth Bordeaux, and one of the most famous and collected wines in the world . The vineyard covers 112 hectares and is well-drained and well-exposed, with soil made up of fine deep gravel, mixed with aeolian sand on a subsoil of tertiary limestone. The estate dates back to at least the 13th century and has had an amazing and prestigious history to look back upon.

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 1964 Léoville-Las-Cases, St-Julien (93VN). Vinous: "The 1964 Léoville Las Cases is a vintage that I have not tasted for many years, and then, by complete coincidence, two guests both bring the same wine that are both served blind. Both attest to a Left Bank wine that bucks the trend of this being an exclusively Right Bank vintage. The first offers a splendid bouquet with red berry fruit tinged with orange rind and mocha. It's finely balanced with a keen line of acidity on the ferrous palate. It has a beguiling, harmonious and smooth texture. The second is perhaps a little more diffuse on the nose and evolved on the palate with spice box and light meat juice aromas. A stronger tobacco element appears on the finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at Olivier Bernard's "4" dinner at Domaine de Chevalier. (NM)" (04/2024)

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 1964 Villadoria Barolo Riserva Speciale. Having begun as a nursery selling rootstock and cuttings to estates in the Langhe in the late 1800s, Villadoria established itself as a bona fide producer of fine Barolo and Barbaresco in 1959 in the heart of Serralunga d'Alba. This example from the winery's early days is still drinking beautifully, and represents a classic expression of Barolo that is rarely seen today.

Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 1964 Haut-Brion, Graves (Pessac-Léognan) (94JG, 90RP). John Gilman: "This has always been one of my favorite wines of the vintage (I first tasted it back in the early 1980s while still in college and it was drinking brilliantly then), and it continues to cruise along beautifully at forty-plus years of age. The nose is deep and classic Haut Brion, offering up notes of sweet black berries, cassis, singed tobacco, black truffles, Graves earth, cigar ash and a pungent topnote of violets. On the palate the wine is typically medium-full (though this most recent bottle was quite powerfully built and vigorous- is it gaining weight at this advanced age or was it just a particularly pristine bottle?), lush and velvety, with beautiful focus and balance, a creamy core of black fruit, and a long, refined and soil-driven finish. Is there a claret more defined by its soil than Haut Brion, now that Ausone has fallen? A great vintage for Haut Brion. " (05/2007)

Bid on this bottle of 1964 Gloria, St-Julien. Wine Advocate: " Gloria has always been used as an example of why the 1855 Classification of the Médoc wines is so outdated. Not included in the original classification are wines Gloria has made (from vineyards purchased from neighboring classified châteaux) during the last 25 years that in vintages such as...1970, 1966, and 1961 are certainly as good as many of the wines produced by many of the classified growths. Shrewd merchants and consumers have long known Gloria's quality... (Bordeaux: A Consumer's Guide to the World's Finest Wines, pg 264) (1/1985) "

Bid on this bottle of 1964 DRC Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée-Conti Grand Cru (98WS, 96BH, 95JS). Burghound: "Some bricking with a ruby core. A simply brilliant nose with a superb breadth of spice, earth, leather and smoky game nuances leads to still vibrant and youthful, very ripe flavors that possess simply knockout complexity and still plenty of vigor on the incredibly long finish. This is really quite something and while it is as good as it will ever be, the '64 RC is unbelievably good for such young vines and if well stored, it should drink well for another 20 years."

Bid on this bottle of 1964 Margaux, Margaux. A four-star vintage, according to late wine critic Michael Broadbent, who said: "Dismiss the idea that this was anything other than a very good vintage..."

Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 1964 Fontanafredda Barolo. Fontanafredda is a historic estate in the commune of the same name in Piedmont. It has long been regarded as one of the great producers of the region, and has a large range of wines including single-vineyard Barolos, Barbaresco, Dolcetto d'Alba, Barbera d'Alba and Moscato d'Asti. The estate was established in 1858 when the land was purchased by King Vittorio Emanuele II of Sardinia (later the first king of Italy) for Rosa Vercellana, a drum major's daughter with whom he had fallen in love. Rosa was made Countess of Mirafiori and Fontanafredda a year later. The wine business started in 1878 under her management and that of the king's son Emanuele Guerrieri, the Count of Mirafiore.

Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 1964 Beychevelle, St-Julien (92JG). John Gilman: " I had never previously tasted a bottle of the 1964 Château Beychevelle and was very impressed with how fine the wine is drinking at age fifty-seven. For those who do not know the story of the 1964 vintage in Bordeaux, a brilliant growing season was partially undone by torrential rains that hit the region just before the cabernet sauvignon was ready for picking. Producers in the Right Bank and Graves had already collected most or all of their fruit, but estates in the Médoc were caught in the rains. Given this fact, the 1964 Beychevelle is amazingly fine, with better depth and backend grip than one finds in most examples from the Left Bank in this vintage. " (12/2023)

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 1964 Malescot-St-Exupery, Margaux . Wine Advocate: "The 1964 Malescot has an uncomplicated style, but given the number of failures in the Medoc in 1964, it is a satisfactory wine. It is chunky and darkly colored with a briery, spicy, cedary bouquet, tough, yet substantial flavors, and a coarse finish, this is a gutsy-styled wine. (RP)" (12/1997)

Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 1964 Gruaud-Larose, St-Julien. According to Robert Parker: "One of only a handful of vintage successes in the Medoc, Gruaud-Larose continues to taste uncommonly fruity, deep, and round. There is no evidence of dilution from the heavy rains that ruined many others. This is a succulently textured, generous, perfumed wine with medium to full body. The 1964 Gruaud-Larose has been fully mature for over a decade without drying out. A sleeper!" (Bordeaux Book, 1998) According to the Wine Spectator: "Cedar and tar on the nose, but slightly diffused, with an herbal note. Elegant, evolved cassis flavor, with much charm and generosity, though also less dense and structured than the '66. A very nice '64; better than many. Almost opulent.--Gruaud-Larose vertical." (02/91)

Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 1964 Pio Cesare Barolo. Among Barolo purists, Pio Cesare is a bastion of the classic style with the wines often needing the better part of two decades to come around, then performing beautifully for upwards of 50 years. This 1964 bottling is a throwback to a bygone era in Barolo.
