Either way, Rousseau Chambertin. It's probably too allocated for one person to get 10%, but I think if you worked at it you might get it done.

Likewise for DRC. Before the past few years vast cost hikes the first growths would be obvious choices. Even larger portions of a second wine, such as Carruades or Forts de Latour might be a good option as these have seen big gains from the years like 2000 or '96. But the best bet would probably be a well known and highly coveted classified, but not first, growth, bordeaux.

You could hold them for as long as you wanted. It might be interesting to do 10% of one of the ultra premium priced California wines like Screaming Eagle. I think you might be able to turn those over sooner with a larger % profit on the deal, but the smaller quantities make the Bordeaux deal way more appealing.
