Singapore, February 2, 2023 – Since 2015, Baghera/wines has continuously affirmed its status as the number one destination for fans of exceptional wines with impeccable provenance. This year, the Geneva-based auction house is heading to Singapore. On 23 February, Baghera/wines’ monthly online auction concept, Wine O’Clock (WOC), will be the first active step in this process on Singaporean soil. The online sale, named “WINE O’CLOCK SINGAPORE #1, A unique collection of Domaine Jean-Yves Bizot wines from two European cellars”, has been specially calibrated to suit the refined tastes of Asian customers. This unique collection of wines solely from the Domaine Jean-Yves Bizot will feature 230 bottles and magnums.
Domaine Jean-Yves Bizot: the ultimate in rarity and delicacy
As a reminder and to give credit where it is due to Domaine Jean-Yves Bizot, the estate cultivates 1.70 hectares of vines planted in the 1930s, as well as 25-year-old vines in Vosne-Romanée. The estate also markets wines from the Orveaux plot under the Echezeaux label, while the Treux plot produces wines marketed under the Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru label. Two white wines also feature in the form of Bourgogne Blanc and Hautes Côtes de Nuits Blanc. A total annual production of about 280 bottles, including the extreme rarity of Les Réas by way of example. Since 1996, Domaine Jean-Yves Bizot vintages have unceasingly impressed enlightened wine lovers who have had the chance to taste the very scarce wines from a winemaker whose humility is as exceptional as his talent.
The production is so limited and coveted that tasting a bottle of Jean-Yves Bizot wine is thus one of the rarest experiences in the world.
A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME COLLECTION OF DOMAINE BIZOT WINES FROM TWO EUROPEAN COLLECTORS
Baghera/wines makes its Far East debut with its exciting inaugural online sale in Singapore
On the occasion of this inaugural Wine O’Clock sale in Singapore, Baghera/wines is targeting the most ardent lovers of rare vintages with an exceptional selection of wines from Domaine Jean-Yves Bizot, ranging from the early 2000s to 2019. Offered to the public for the first time, the set of bottles comes from the collections of two European wine enthusiasts. Not only have the bottles been perfectly preserved in their owners’ cellars, but their transportation to Singapore is being undertaken by the expert Baghera/wines’ teams. The greatest care and the best service providers in the world are thus being called upon for this task, and everything possible has been done to ensure that the set arrives at its destination in perfect condition as the bottles have never travelled before and no variations in temperature, humidity or handling will be acceptable.
Collectors’ interest in wines from Domaine Jean-Yves Bizot, a winemaker of rare talent, has grown remarkably since the early 1990s, and the wines offered in this sale are among the most sought after for their rarity on the market.
Spread over 87 lots, 227 bottles and three magnums, all the work of the talented Jean-Yves Bizot, offer a unique opportunity for every enlightened wine aficionado to seize these rare and envied treasures. The magnums in particular, are among the rarest in the world, both in terms of their provenance and quantity, and remain among the grails coveted by the international wine collecting community.
Finally, to cater for its Asian clientele, Baghera/wines will be organizing a tasting on 22 February at Odette Restaurant in Singapore. For this occasion, the collectors sponsoring the sale have chosen six wines that will enable a geographical tour of the Burgundy estate’s appellations, starting with an Haute-Côte de Blanc 2012 and ending with the famous Echézeaux from the extraordinary 2005 vintage. This promises to be an exceptional event with an exclusive dinner featuring a menu created especially by chef Julien Royer and his team for which just eight places are available.
