Rare Jeroboams - from DRC, Clos de Tart, Hudelot Noellat & Roulot
07/07/2025
I am pleased to offer some very rare Jeros, including DRC Romanee St Vivant '88, Roulot Charmes '07, Clos de Tart '99 - as well as some other interesting and mature jeros from Champagne, Rhone & Barolo.
1 x Clos de Tart 1999 Jeroboam
£2,700 per jero in OWC In Bond
95/100 Allen Meadows:'This is one of those wines that is frustratingly variable and while none of the bottles that I have had has been poor, my scores have ranged from 90 to 95 points, which is an enormous range and particularly so for such a (relatively speaking) young wine. At its best the overtly ripe and still relatively primary nose of spice and earth-inflected black currant offers excellent complexity. There is excellent richness and power to the big-bodied and concentrated flavors that coat the mouth with dry extract on the hugely long finish where about the only nit is a hint of warmth. At worst the finish is drying, woody and noticeably warm. In all cases though its seems clear that this is still very much on the way up and a wine that will require most of the next decade before it arrives at its peak. Tasted on multiple occasions with, as noted, wildly inconsistent results.'
1 x DRC Romanee St Vivant 1988 Jeroboam
£15,000 per jero In Bond
92/100 Allen Meadows:'The perfumed nose has now gone almost completely secondary with hints of sous bois adding nuance to the classic spice box character of a fine RSV. I particularly like the purity of expression (yet no lack of power) which combined with the outstanding length make this an excellent effort that should continue to hold at this level for a number of years. Consistent notes.'
1 x Hudelot Noellat Romanee St Vivant 2018 Jeroboam
£1,600 per jero in OWC In Bond
(Damaged Capsule)
97/100 Neal Martin:'The 2018 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru has a very candied, aniseed-tinged bouquet that contains impressive intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, lovely orange-zest infused red fruit, gentle but insistent grip with an arresting, white pepper/spicy finish that leaves the tongue tingling. Impressive and delicious, though it will need cellaring. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.'
1 x Jean-Marc Millot Echezeaux du Dessus Cuvee 1949 2019 Jerobaom
£1,000 per jero in OWC In Bond
95-97/100 Jasper Morris:'From five rows of Echezeaux du Dessus, planted in 1949, enough to make a couple of barrels. Rich deep purple, the bouquet begins with a heady reduction which very rapidly cleans up. This is really significantly more sumptuous than the regular Echezeaux, with an extraordinary finish. Though the fruit is a mite darker, more importantly it is much more concentrated. I am ambivalent about micro super-cuvées but this one works, and is justified, because not too much has been taken out of the regular bottling.'
1 x Nicole Lamarche Grande Rue Cuvee 59 2019 Jeroboam
£2,400 per jero in OWC In Bond
94-98/100 Jasper Morris:'The colour is very similar to the regular in pink-red-purple register. Right from the first sniff the bouquet shows a difference, without the blood orange notes but with more of a fresh perfumed and floral raspberry character. A little less velvety, a little more structured, the tannins a bit more evident. A certain austerity perhaps from the proximity to La Tâche. An interesting insight from Nicole: this cuvée always behaves the same in both vinification and in style, whereas the regular Grande Rue can be up one minute and down the next and can be altogether more awkward to vinify. Each year, though, I find the same stylistic differences between the two cuvées, and the same inability to choose one over the other.'
1 x Bachelet Monnot Batard Montrachet 2019 Jeroboam
£2,500 per jero Duty Paid
96-98/100 Jasper Morris:'The Bachelet brothers now prefer to put this wine in one year old barrels, 2 x 350 litres this year. Frankly, this is a brilliant Bâtard-Montrachet in 2019. Such a complex, detailed nose, tiptoeing across the universe. The fruit is notably richer at the finish, so it was a good decision to pick the Bâtard early. A superb example.'
1 x Roulot Meursault 1er Cru Charmes 2007 Jeroboam
£4,000 per jero in OWC In Bond
(Slightly Damaged Capsule)
94/100 John Gilman:'The 2007 Roulot Charmes is a beautiful wine in the making that is currently quite closed and in need of at least several more years of bottle age. Even Burgundy lovers whose prescription for dealing with premox these days is to drink their white Burgundies on the young side would be well-served to give this wine at least four or five years of bottle age before drinking it- which should still allow a couple of peak years before the haunting specter of premature oxidation comes into the equation. The nose is deep and quite beautiful, as it offers up scents of apple, pear, almond paste, spring flowers, a vague trace of vanillin oak and an absolutely stellar base of minerality. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, tight and strikingly transparent, with a rock solid core of fruit, brisk acids, excellent focus and great length and grip on the classy and still quite tight finish. A lovely bottle that will live forty years or more if untouched by premox.'
1 x Roulot Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets 2019 Jeroboam
£800 per jero in OWC In Bond
91-94/100 Allen Meadows:'A more floral inflected nose offers up notes of citrus peel, pretty white orchard fruit and an array of spice elements. There is a bit more underlying tension to the delicious and strikingly well-detailed flavors that flash equally good minerality on the balanced and sneaky long finish. Good stuff and worth considering.'
1 x Thierry Pillot Meursault 1er Cru Charmes 2019 Jeroboam
£450 per jero in Original Case In Bond
No tasting notes.
1 x Figeac 2003 double magnum
£600 per d-mag in OWC In Bond
91/100 John Gilman:'I have only tasted the 2003 vintage at Figeac on a single occasion, which was as part of a vertical back at the property on one of my last trips to the region to taste en primeur. While the note is a bit out of date now, I was quite favorably impressed with the wine and include the note here, as I have never written this wine up previously. The bouquet back in the spring of 2012 was really quite good, offering up a deep and fairly exotic blend of mint, sappy black cherries, dark plum, singed tobacco, chocolate and nutty new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and quite plush on the attack, with very low acids, a very good, sappy core and a long, slightly chewy and quite smoky finish. There is a slightly dry edge to the tannins here that will probably always be part of the equation to some extent (as is the case with many 2003 Burgundies for instance), but this is a very good example of the vintage and one of the few 2003 clarets that I would be happy to drink any time. It was still a few years away from really drinking well back in March of 2012, but should be softened up nicely by now.'
6 x Marie Courtin Efflorescence 2015 Jeroboams
£150 per jero in OWC In Bond
94/100 Antonio Galloni:'The 2015 Marie Courtin Efflorescence is ample and resonant in feel. Plum, cherry, spice and ginger meld into a deep core of Pinot fruit that continues to flesh out with a bit of time and aeration. There"s terrific depth, density and creaminess here, not to mention tons of sheer personality. No dosage. Disgorged: June, 2021.'
1 x Chateau de la Gardine Chateauneuf Du Pape 1973 Jeroboam
£250 per jero Duty Paid
No tasting notes.
1 x Massolino Barolo Vigna Rionda Riserva 1999 Jeroboam
£450 per jero in OWC In Bond
94/100 Antonio Galloni:'The 1999 Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda is terrific. A rich, silky wine, the 1999 impresses for finessed personality and inviting texture. The balance of fruit and tannin - one of the signatures of this great site - is impeccable. Although the 1999 is no longer the brute it once was, tertiary notes have yet to fully develop, which suggests the 1999 has plenty of life ahead.'
