Foremost among the distilleries along the banks of the chill,

clear waters of the Spey stands Knockando. Built by John

Thompson in 1898, the Knockando distillery lies in the village

of the same name, derived from the Gaelic ‘Cnoc-an-dhu’

meaning ‘little black hill’.

John Tytler Thompson, the founder of the Knockando distillery,

was professionally trained as an accountant before moving into

whisky dealing during the 1890s when Scotch demand rocketed.

As demand soared he started to produce his own Whisky. The

site he chose was a steep bank on the bend of the River Spey

beside the little community of Knockando. Speyside’s temperate

climate, pure air and plentiful supplies of cold spring water were

perfect for making and maturing single malts.

Thompson wanted a state of the art distillery and spared no

expense or time. However, in May 1899 he was fnally ready

to start the operation, but the whisky boom was over – driven

by over production and reduction in demand.

After a few slow years Thompson was forced to sell to the

brothers Walter & Alfred Gilbey in 1903. In the early 1960s,

W&A Gilbey merged with its rivals Justerini & Brooks and

Knockando was sold as single malt in its own right.

Today, nothing has changed at Knockando. It is, still, a small

village of 200 inhabitants. For more than a century, the life

at Knockando has followed the rhythm of distillation seasons,

with production only ever halting during the World Wars,

when barley was requisitioned and distillation prohibited.

THE DISTILLERY

It is a place of magic. The pagoda-shaped roof, almost hidden

by trees and younger buildings, broods over an isolated bend

in the River Spey. Whilst inside, the same levels of care and

craftsmanship are employed as were evident more than one

hundred years ago.

The quantity of peat used in malting the barley is carefully

controlled so as not to overbalance the taste of the fnal

product, and the proportion of sherry casks used is restricted

so as to not dominate the taste of the whisky.

Time is another key element, as gentle maturation in oak casks

slowly reveals the subtle aromas: delicate with a distinctive

fresh almond note in its younger versions, it gains weight and

depth of favour over the years.

Although distillation continues throughout the year, each year of

production is still referred to as a Season at Knockando distillery.

Thus, when the young spirit is brought to the warehouse, the

Season of distillation is marked on the end of the cask. And

when it is ready to be drawn, it is duly inscribed on the bottle

and the gift box together with the year of bottling.

KNOCKANDO

A Cask of Knockando 28 Year Old Single Malt

Scotch Whisky

Lying In Scotland

This lot is offered In-Bond ONLY. Please refer to the

additional special terms at the back of the catalogue (at the

end of Conditions of Sale) which will apply to this lot.

1 Cask Knockando 28 Year Old, Ex Sherry Butt,

Distilled 1986, Circa 336 Bottles

We are very proud to offer the whisky from a single

cask for sale at auction. The Master Distiller has carefully

selected a cask of whisky from a range of rare liquids. The

cask represents a moment in time that captures the essence

of the distillery. This unique whisky symbolises great

rarity, the pinnacle of single malt expression.

You will be able to customise the label and bottle this rare

liquid on a date of your choosing within 5 years of purchasing

the cask. So, for instance, this cask of Knockando 28 Year Old

could be bottled at up to 33 years old, having been held back

to celebrate a birthday or other signifcant date.

Each bottle will be serialised and inscribed with your

signature, including maturation and date of bottling.

These bottles will then be made available in customised

wooden crates. Due to the customization of these bottles,

the minimum lead time for bottling is 4 months.

In addition, this lot also includes a meeting with the

Master Distiller, a visit to see your cask and a stay at the

world famous Gleneagles Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort,

where you will be invited to play the PGA Centenary

course or enjoy a selection of ESPA spa treatments.

The lot includes transfers from a destination within the

UK to the Gleneagles Hotel in Auchterarder, Scotland,

as well as overnight accommodation and all meals during

the winning bidder’s stay. A round of golf on the PGA

Centenary course or ESPA spa treatments (whichever the

winning bidder chooses) will also be included. During their

stay the winning bidder is welcome to take part in any

further activities outside of the itinerary outlined above,

however they will be responsible for any costs of such

activities. Further details regarding this trip will be made

available to the winning bidder at a later date. The date and

timings of the trip and any necessary travel arrangements

will be discussed with the winning bidder in advance.

Oban – the “Gateway to the Isles”. In effect, the town grew

up around the distillery and since its foundation in 1794 it has

played an important role in local life.

Distillery owners and managers to the present day have embraced

this tradition of community involvement and hospitality – a

tradition that came naturally to John and Hugh Stevenson,

founders not only of the distillery at Oban but of the town itself.

They were local men - their mother had come from Port

Appin upon the death of their father, a stone mason. Both

learned the stonemason’s craft. Hugh opened a shop selling

whisky and later took over slate quarries whist his brother

became a farmer, architect and builder.

Together they established a boat building yard and a tannery

and, in the 1790s a brewery, which had become Oban

distillery by 1794.

Two further generations of Stevenson’s continued the family’s

business in Oban. Hugh’s son, Thomas, who had been

farming in Buenos Aires, returned and purchased the distillery

and the slate quarries from his father and uncle’s trustees.

Later he built the Caledonian Hotel, but alas, he ran into

fnancial diffculties through supporting his brother in a

printing business in Edinburgh. He attempted to satisfy his

creditors by supplying them with slates and whisky. His

son, John, who had been living in Peru, but who returned

and took over the running of the distillery in 1830, helped

Thomas. He managed Oban until shortly before his death in

1869, when it passed out of the family.

In 1883 J. Walter Higgin bought the distillery. Between 1890 and

1894 he dismantled and rebuilt it piece by piece, in order to keep it

in production – such was the demand for Oban’s malt. He carefully

replicated the famously small stills and other traditional features in

order to preserve the quality and reputation of the whisky.

The distillery buildings and their internal arrangements are

substantially the same today as they were following Higgin’s

refurbishment. Until recently only very exceptional malts

were bottled and sold as ‘singles’. By contrast, Oban has been

enjoyed as a single malt since the 1880’s.

‘THE MEETING PLACE BETWEEN LAND AND SEA’

Oban is the frontier between the West Highlands and the

Islands. A perfect, sheltered harbour makes it the principal

seaport for the Isles and the capital of the West Highlands.

It has a mild, temperate climate, warmed by the Gulf Stream

and washed (too often, some might say) by the soft rain

that often falls here. This misty, maritime character, with a

background of heather and peat, is perfectly echoed in the

malt whisky produced at Oban.

Oban is made using only the fnest barley, malted to the

distillery’s own particular specifcation. The tiny lantern-

shaped copper pot stills are among the smallest in Scotland;

their rich, fruity malt is then slowly condensed in wooden

worm tubs that sit outside among the rooftops, before being

aged in oak casks for at least 14 years.

JOHNNIE WALKER SIGNATURE BLEND

100 Bottles, blended to your taste




Crafted by Jim Beveridge, Johnnie Walker Master Blender,

each bespoke Signature Blend represents the pinnacle of

the art of blending and an unparalleled commitment to

the pursuit of favour, a tradition and craft passed down

Blenders. Selecting whiskies from some of our rarest casks,

Jim Beveridge will seek to create an unmatched favour

selecting whiskies from the four corners of Scotland and

skilfully blending them together to create a unique liquid

tailored in accordance with your taste.

Blender, Jim Beveridge. Here, he will take you through

of casks. He will then blend a whisky to your own

specifcation. For posterity, each Signature Blend recipe

will then be recorded and kept at our archive in Scotland.

Once completed, each Signature Blend will be decanted

into selected bottles before being serialised and inscribed

with your signature to make every bottle matchless and

unrivalled.

“We are determined to make our Whisky, as far as quality

is concerned, of such a standard that nothing in the market

shall come before it”

Alexander Walker, 1887

The meeting with the Master Distiller will take place at

a destination in Scotland or, if the winning bidder would

prefer, another destination within the UK. If the winning

bidder elects to meet with the Master Distiller in Scotland,

transfers from a UK destination will be included. Overnight

accommodation will also be provided to the winning bidder,

of the meeting and any necessary travel arrangements will be

discussed with the winning bidder in advance.

THE STORY OF JOHNNIE WALKER

A story always begins somewhere, and for Johnnie Walker, it

began in 1820 in Kilmarnock, Scotland.

The young John Walker, who lost his father just a year earlier,

opened his frst grocer shop with proceeds from the sale of the

family-owned Todriggs Farm. Here, he started trading teas

and spices with rich, exciting favours from all across the New

World. A visionary of his time, he saw the incredible potential

of blended Scotch whisky with its complexity of favour,

unmatched by individual single malts. Applying his skills in tea

blending he began his relentless quest for favour and quality.

The beginning of a passion and craftsmanship that the Master

Blender of Johnnie Walker still maintains today.

For over 190 years, we have searched for the fnest whiskies from

the most renowned distilleries. Our Whisky reserves now stand

above all the others with more than seven million casks, including

whiskies from distilleries that are now no longer in existence. The

Johnnie Walker Brand, recognised by Whisky Connoisseurs all

over the world, has become synonymous with exceptional taste,

unmatched quality, and above all, a pioneering spirit.

WHISKIES FROM THE FOUR CORNERS

OF SCOTLAND

Drawn from the four corners of Scotland, the whiskies in our

reserves have distinct natural characteristics. Highland whiskies,

noted for their rounded dry character with a hint of peatiness.

Lowland whiskies, that reveal the softness of the malt used in

their creation. Speyside whiskies, known for their elegance

and complexity with a refned smokiness, and Islay whiskies,

differentiated by their characterful smokiness and prominent

coastal notes of salt and seaweed.

Through the skilful combination of whiskies from these four

regions, the Master Blender is able to produce a breadth of favour

which knows no boundaries. Each Signature Blend will match the

complexities of each individual’s palate, spanning a spectrum from a

profound smoky taste or a powerful sea-salt note, to a foral vanilla

fragrance or a smooth and rounded texture.

Pbtrus 1990

Pomerol, cru exceptionnelNot in original wooden case, ex Sotheby’s case. Loose capsules, slightly worn. One slightly damaged label. Levels base of neck or better.Tasting note: This dense ruby/purple-coloured effort is

beginning to hint at the massive richness and full-bodied

intensity lurking beneath its wall of tannin. The vintage’s

sweetness, low acidity, and velvety tannins are present in

abundance, and the wine is massive in the mouth as well

as incredibly pure and well-delineated. Robert Parker

Pbtrus 1989

Pomerol, cru exceptionnelIn original wooden case. Good capsules. Slight nicks to bottom of labels. Levels into neck.Tasting note: This wine is more tightly knit, more tannic,

but every bit the blockbuster concentrated effort that

its younger sibling, the 1990, is. The colour is virtually

identical, a dense ruby/purple with no lightening at the

edge. In the mouth the wine cuts a broad swath, with

spectacular intensity, richness, massive concentration,

and high levels of tannin, yet the wine is fabulously

well-delineated and has a fnish that goes on for nearly

a minute. It does not seem to be quite as evolved as the

1990, and my instincts suggest there is a bit more tannin,

but both are as prodigious as Pétrus can be. Anticipated

maturity: 2010-2040. Last tasted, 8/02. Robert Parker,

deep than expected with surprisingly relaxed open rim;

superbly evolved bouquet, uninhibited, rich, fragrant,

spicy, harmonious; sweet, very distinctive, hint of

eucalyptus, great length. Tannic of course. A great wine.

Chfteau Latour 1982

Pauillac, 1er cru classéIn second-hand wooden case. Three corroded capsules. Slightly creased labels. Levels: one base of neck, three top-shoulder, one upper-shoulderTasting note: Always somewhat atypical (which I suspect

will be the case with the more modern day 2003), the

1982 Latour has been the most opulent, famboyant,

and precocious of the northern Médocs, especially the

St.-Juliens, Pauillacs, and St.-Estèphe’s. It hasn’t changed

much over the last 10-15 years, revealing sweet tannins as

well as extraordinarily decadent, even extravagant levels

of fruit, glycerin, and body. This vintage has always tasted

great, even in its youth, and revealed a precociousness that

one does not associate with this Château. However, the

1982 is still evolving at a glacial pace. The concentration

remains remarkable, and the wine is a full-bodied,

exuberant, rich, classic Pauillac in its aromatic and favor

profles. It’s just juiced up (similar to an athlete on

steroids) and is all the better for it. This remarkable effort

will last as long as the 1982 Mouton, but it has always

been more approachable and decadently fruity. Drink it

now, in 20 years, and in 50 years! Don’t miss it if you are

a wine lover. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 183, June

Pauillac, 1er cru classéIn second-hand wooden case. Three corroded capsules. Good appearance. Levels: two base of neck, fve top-shoulder, one upper-shoulderTasting note: Not a shrinking violet nor with the

fnesse and charm of the ’53, but a hugely impressive

wine. Roughly two dozen well spread and consistently

good notes from the mid-1980s. By its 10th birthday,

though still deep and intense, the inimitable bouquet was

developing beautifully, spicy and powerful. In the second

half of the 1990s decade, its fragrance, harmony and

length a major feature. By 2001, mouthflling, so much

on show, so much more to come. Most recently, double

decanted and served 5 hours later: still deep and velvety,

with a virtually opaque core; the bouquet already aroused

and holding its fragrance; medium-sweet, delicious

favour and persistence. Tamed tannins. Last noted Dec 2004 ****(*) M.B

2003: harmonious, attractive bouquet’, smooth, mature

Lot 361: Gallaire et Fils slip labels, one corroded capsule, good appearance. Levels: fve base of neck, seven top-shoulder Tasting note: This wine goes from strength to strength,

and is certainly a candidate for “wine of the vintage.” It

has surpassed even Château Margaux in recent tastings.

The colour is an opaque plum/purple. The wine has a

fabulously complex nose of smoked duck, white fowers,

cedar, Asian spice, crème de cassis, melted licorice, and

espresso. Super-concentrated, very powerful, full-bodied,

and huge, this is undeniably, one of the biggest, most

concentrated, and powerful Palmers made in the last 40

years. The wine has thrown off the rugged tannins that

were so prominent during its frst 10-15 years of life

and has become increasingly seamless and compelling.

Potentially this wine remains the most extraordinary

Palmer after the 1961. Anticipated maturity: Now-2020.

Pétrus 1989

Pomerol, cru exceptionnelIn second-hand wooden case. Worn capsules. Slightly damaged labels. Slightly bin-soiled labels. Levels: base of neck or betterTasting note: At Penning-Roswell’s ’10-year’ frst growth

tasting in 1999 it was still deep, youthful with opaque

core; and a slightly chocolatey nose. As so often, even

with these top Pomerols, far more interesting on the

palate: sweet, rich, full of fruit, rounded…..Most recently,

a double magnum: still virtually opaque; good fruit,

truffes; fairly full-bodied, a touch of austerity, good

texture (which should have alerted me), great length.

Tasted blind I though it was the Latour. Last noted at the

Pauillac, 1er cru classéIn original wooden case. Original tissues. Good appearance. Levels: eight base of neck or better, four top-shoulderTasting note: This is a beauty, but not the awesome

blockbuster I remembered. There is a roasted, earthy,

hot year character with extremely low acidity, feshy,

seductive, opulently-textured favors, and a full-bodied

fnish with considerable amounts of glycerin and tannin.

The wine was sweet, accessible, and seductive on the

attack, but it closed down in the mouth. Interestingly,

when I previously tasted this wine (about six months ago)

from a bottle in my cellar, I found it to be impenetrable,

needing at least 6-10 years of further cellaring. Based

on this example from the Château’s cellar, it could be

drunk now. In any event, it will last 25-30 years, but is

it the immortal classic many observers, including myself,

thought it was? Anticipated maturity: 2005-2030. Robert

Pauillac, 1er cru classéIn original wooden case. Original tissues. Good appearance. Levels: seven base of neck, fve top-shoulderTasting note: …a matter of two years after bottling it

had generated an almost explosively rich, spicy nose; very

sweet, full and packed with goodies. Leaping over the

next two notes (poor bottles at the Eigensatz tasting),

its bouquet was fully developed and its fne texture

and length noted (Hollywood Wine Society Mouton

presentation, 1998) and a further jump of two years to

Penning-Roswell’s ‘10-year’ tasting. Here, alongside

its frst growth peers, it was still fairly deep coloured;

bouquet clamouring to get out, opening up rapturously,

though I was too aware of the new oak spiciness

-attractive but oak, like garlic, should be present but not

overdone. Sweet, rich, lively, a touch of leanness and

pinched tannin and acidity. Impressive but needs time.

An imperial in 2005: deep, maturing more quickly than

the ‘89’ rich, complete, harmonious bouquet; sweet, soft,

feshy, spicy, with a dry fnish. Very good, very enjoyable,

but not great. Most recently: lovely soft red, maturing;

rich, ‘singed’, fruit and depth; medium-sweet, deliciously

rich favor, fesh masking tannin. Refreshing. Ready. Very

good but not great. Last tasted July 2006 ***(*) Now – 2016. M.B.

Saint-Émilion, 1er grand cru classéIn original wooden case. Good appearance. Levels: base of neck or betterTasting note: One of my favorite Cheval Blancs, it

remains to be seen if the 1998, 2000, and 2008 will

live up to this offering. It is the ripest wine of the

aforementioned vintages, with a complex bouquet of

tobacco leaf, Christmas fruitcake, sweet black fruits,

bordering on fg and plum, but no hint of overripeness,

and notions of new saddle leather, mint, and incense.

The gorgeously expressive aromatics are followed by a

full-bodied wine revealing abundant glycerin as well as

elevated alcohol, but it is not hot, and nothing is out

of place. Expansive, rich, and revealing the nuances and

complexity that come from bottle age, it is at its peak of

maturity where it should remain for another 10-15 years.

Pauillac, 1er cru classéIn original wooden caseTasting note: Cask sample frst tasted in September 1998

with Hervé Berland: a small crop, 55% selected for the

grand vin, the smallest percentage ever. The cèpage mix

was Cabernet sauvignon 77%, Merlot 13%, Petit Verdot

6% and Cabernet Franc 4%. Five weeks macerating, six

in wooden vats, only 80% new oak. At this stage still

opaque, intense; muffed through with crisp Cabernet

Sauvignon aroma; surprisingly feshy, good extract and

tannins. Next noted in March 1999: nose like freshly

sawn wood, spice; crisp fruit. In March 2001, blind: still

deep; nose low keyed, but peppery at frst, opening up

gradually; a ‘lean edge’ noted. My score was identical to

that of Ch. Latour, two points below the consensus. Most recently: fragrant, crisp, dry fnish. Last noted at the MW tasting Nov 2001 **** M.B.

1982 Château MARGAUX



Margaux, 1er cru classgIn second-hand wooden case. Damaged labels. Levels: base of neckTasting note: Consistently scoring between 98-100, the

superb 1982 Margaux may be slightly bigger, bolder,

and more masculine than vintages produced over the last

15-20 years. Its dark plum/purple colour is followed by

notes of melted tar intermixed with sweet cassis and foral

underpinnings. Very full-bodied and dense for a Château

Margaux, with a slight rusticity to the tannins, it boasts

blockbuster power, richness, and impressive aromatics. It

appears set for another 30-40 years of life. Robert Parker,

plums, licorice, and a hint of cappuccino in its stunning

aromatics. Dense, medium to full-bodied, with high levels

of tannin in a big, full-bodied style (much in the spirit of

such classic Bordeaux vintages as 1966, 1986, and 1996),

this wine possesses superb purity and serious length, but

should be purchased only by those with considerable

patience and a good, cold cellar, since it will need plenty

of time. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2028. Robert Parker,

TWO VINTAGES OF CHEVAL-BLANC



Saint-Émilion, 1er grand cru classg (A)Not in original caseTasting note: The complex, explosively fragrant 1999

Cheval Blanc is a blend of 59% Merlot and 41% Cabernet

Franc. It is already showing well, which is a good sign

for a wine that traditionally is reserved early in life, but

puts on weight and richness in the bottle. Stylistically,

this wine is probably cut from the same mold as vintages

such as 1985, 1966, and 1962. The colour is a dense ruby

with purple nuances. Once past the blockbuster bouquet

of menthol, leather, black fruits, licorice, and mocha,

the wine reveals medium body, extraordinary elegance,

purity, and sweet, harmonious favors with no hard

edges. This is a seamless beauty of fnesse, charm, and

concentration. The 1999 is an exciting Cheval Blanc to

drink relatively young. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2022.

ROTHSCHILD


Offered in bond, but available duty-paid except lot 461, which is duty-paid only


Pauillac, 1er cru classgIn original wooden six-bottle casesTasting note: A modern day version of the 1959 Lafte,

the 2003 Lafte Rothschild was bottled in mid-May,

2005 after achieving 12.9% natural alcohol – hardly an

astonishing fgure given the vintage’s weather conditions.

A combination of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot,

3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, it represents

a ripe version of the essence of Lafte-Rothschild.

Dense purple-coloured, with classic notes of graphite

intertwined with melted liquorice, creme de cassis, smoke,

and fowers, it reveals extraordinary richness, opulence,

power, purity, intensity, and viscosity. Whether this wine

will close down or not is questionable as it is somewhat

atypical given its sweetness and softness. Analytically,

there are extremely high tannins, which I suspect will

assert themselves in the future. Production in 2003 was

less than half of normal. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2050.

Chfteau Latour 2009

Pauillac, 1er cru classgIn original wooden six-bottle casesTasting note: Possibly a 100-year wine, it boasts an

perfume of super-intense blue and black fruits, graphite,

and a liqueur of rocks-like minerality. Enormously full-

bodied yet at the same time incredibly fresh, vibrant, and

precise, it coats the mouth, and builds incrementally to

skyscraper-like texture, and a whopping fnish that lasts

over a minute. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 188 April

Chfteau Ausone 2009

Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classgIn original wooden six-bottle casesTasting note: The 2009 Ausone, was produced at

probably twice the yields of the absolutely remarkable

2008, but is another profound effort from Vauthier.

Dense purple in colour, with an almost liqueur of

limestone intermixed with acacia flowers, blueberry,

raspberry, and boysenberry fruit, the use of 100% new

oak is completely concealed by the wealth of fruit and

the lavish richness this wine exhibits. Nevertheless, there

is a striking precision, minerality, and purity to Ausone.

This wine might be far more drinkable in 7-8 years than

the 2005 or 2008 will be with the same amount of aging.

Nevertheless, any person lucky enough to latch on to

one of the 1200 or so cases of this wine should realize it

is going to evolve for 20-50 years. (Tasted once.) Robert

October 5, this wine seems always open for business,

so to speak, much like the great 1982s. The summer of

2009 was very hot and dry, which got the harvest off to

a reasonably early start. The blend was 65% Cabernet

Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit

Verdot. Jean Bernard Delmas’ goal was to fnd perfect

equilibrium between freshness and concentration, given

its incredible opulence and the voluptuous character this

vintage offered. That’s what this wine has in abundance.

With an astounding dense purple colour, the wine has

velvety, sweet tannins, and an extremely open-knit and

opulent blueberry, blackberry and creme de cassis nose.

There is scorched earth, vanilla and, again, telltale licorice

and spice. It is unctuously textured – thicker and juicier

than the 2010 and more forward. This wine should come

into its own in another fve years. And again, it has at

least 50+ years of aging potential. Robert Parker Wine

Pauillac, 5ème cru classgIn original wooden six-bottle casesTasting note: An amazing wine in every sense, this

classic, full-bodied Pauillac is the quintessential Pontet

Canet from proprietor Alfred Tesseron, who continues

to reduce yields and farms his vineyards biodynamically

– a rarity in Bordeaux. Black as a moonless night, the

2009 Pontet Canet offers up notes of incense, graphite,

smoke, licorice, creme de cassis and blackberries. A wine

of irrefutable purity, laser-like precision, colossal weight

and richness, and sensational freshness, this is a tour de

force in winemaking that is capable of lasting 50 or more

years. The tannins are elevated, but they are sweet and

beautifully integrated as are the acidity, wood and alcohol

(which must be in excess of 14%). This vineyard, which

is situated on the high plateau of Pauillac adjacent to

Mouton Rothschild, appears to have done everything

perfectly in 2009. This cuvee should shut down in the

cellar and re-open in a decade or more. Anticipated

maturity: 2025-2075 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 199,

Chfteau Angelus 2009

Saint-Emilion, grand cru classg In original wooden six-bottle casesTasting note: The home estate of Hubert de Bouard,

this 62+ acre vineyard produced a 60% Merlot and

40% Cabernet Franc blend in 2009, with yields of 20

hectoliters per hectare, and a whopping alcohol degree

of 14.5%. The latter component is not even noticeable,

as that is one of the erroneous myths about high alcohol

in some 2009 Bordeaux. This is a fabulous wine, with

that tell-tale, dense, inky blue colour that Angelus always

seems to achieve. It displays an extraordinary nose of

acacia flowers intermixed with blueberry liqueur, black

raspberries, cassis, licorice, incense, and graphite. Full-

bodied, viscous, with great intensity, vibrancy, and

transparency, this is one of the all-time great wines from

Angelus and a 21st century version of their 1989 and

1990. It should drink well for 20+ years – at the very

minimum. Robert Parker Wine Advocate 188 April 2010

Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classgIn original wooden six-bottle casesTasting Note: From its dense purple colour to its

incredibly subtle but striking aromatics that build

incrementally, offering up a spectacular smorgasbord

of aromas ranging from charcoal and camphor to black

currant and blueberry liqueur and spring fowers, this

wine’s fnesse, elegant yet noble power and authority

come through in a compelling fashion. It is full-bodied,

but that’s only apparent in the aftertaste, as the wine

seems to foat across the palate with remarkable sweetness,

harmony, and the integration of all its component parts –

alcohol, tannin, acidity, wood, etc. This prodigious Haut-

Brion is hard to compare to another vintage, at least right

now, but it should have 50 to 75 years of aging potential.

Anticipated maturity: 2022-2065+. Robert Parker Wine

graphite. Full-bodied, with wonderfully sweet tannin, it is

a mind-boggling, prodigious achievement that should hit

its prime in about 15 years, and last for 50 to 100. Robert

Saint-Emilion, grand cru classg (A)In original wooden six-bottle casesTasting note: The 2010 is one of the most impressive

two-year-old Cheval Blancs I have tasted in 34 years

in this profession. The fnal blend of 54% Cabernet

Franc and 46% Merlot has the tell-tale berry/foral nose

with subtle hints of menthol, blueberry, raspberry and

fowers in addition to some forest foor and a delicate

touch of lead pencil shavings. The wine exhibits more

structure and density than it did from barrel, and it was

already remarkable then. The foresty/foral notes seem

to linger and linger in this surprisingly full-bodied,

powerful Cheval Blanc, yet it possesses a very healthy

pH that should ensure enormous longevity. Dense purple

in colour, and a bigger, richer wine than usual, this

is one Cheval Blanc that will probably need a decade

of cellaring. I like the description from the estate’s

administrator, Pierre Lurton, who said it tasted like

“liquid cashmere,” a perfect expression, despite the wine’s

structure and intensity. This is another 50-year wine from

this amazingly structured, rich vintage. Robert Parker

DOMAINE ARMAND ROUSSEAU

The Domaine was started at the beginning of the 20th

century by Armand Rousseau who came from a family of

vignerons and wine-merchants. Through marriage he had

inherited several plots of vineyards in Gevrey Chambertin

at the turn of the century. Gradually he increased the size

of the Domaine with acquisitions of vineyards in Charmes

Chambertin in 1919, Clos de la Roche and Chambertin in

1920 and 1921, Mazy-Chambertin in 1937, Mazoyeres-

Chambertin in 1940 and the esteemed 1er Cru Clos Saint

Jacques in 1954.

The Domaine currently owns approximately 14 hectares of

vineyards planted only with Pinot Noir, including 8 hectares

of Grand Cru vineyards all situated in the communes of

Gevrey-Chambertin and Morey-Saint-Denis producing

their world famous Grand Crus; Chambertin Clos de Bèze,

Chambertin, Mazy-Chambertin, Charmes-Chambertin,

and Clos de la Roche; and their Premier Crus; Clos Saint

Jacques, Les Cazétiers and Lavaux Saint-Jacques. The vines

are old with an average age of between 40 and 45 years and

a planting density of 11,000 vines per hectare. Yields are

kept low, at between 30 to 40 hectolitres per hectare, with

bud removal and green harvesting. No chemical fertilizers

are used and harvesting is done completely by hand.

The Clos Saint Jacques is put into between 70% and 100%

new oak and the other wines are aged in either second

or third-fll barrels. Ageing takes approximately 20 to 22

months and the wines are racked between 2 and 3 times.

The wines are lightly fltered prior to bottling to retain as

many favour components as possible. The vines of Clos St.

Jacques are south east facing, Domaine Armand Rousseau

owns one third of the total area of the Clos. It has been

said that the wines produced are comparable to those of

Chambertin, but can also be enjoyed in youth, leading many

commentators to agree that the quality is that of a Grand

Cru wine.

DOMAINE DUJAC

History

Dujac is undoubtedly one of the most highly respected

Domaine’s in Burgundy and has been producing their

characteristic perfumed, silky, and elegant wines since the

late 1960’s when the Seysses family purchased Domaine

Graillet in Morey-St-Denis and renamed it Domaine Dujac.

1969 was the frst vintage released. The Domaine is run

by the Seysses family; the founder, Jacques Seyesses, is still

involved in its operation, but his sons, Jeremy and Alec

and Jeremy’s wife Diana have run the Domaine for the past

several vintages.

Vineyards

Since those early days the Domaine has increased in size

from 5 hectares to its present size of approximately 15

hectares. Domaine Dujac own holdings in some of the

fnest Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte de Nuits; Clos de la

Roche, Clos St-Denis, Bonnes-Mares, Echézeaux, Romanée-

Saint-Vivant, Chambertin and Charmes-Chambertin, as well

as Premier Cru and Village level vineyards. Their philosophy

is the same for all vineyards with minimal interventions

and combining practices from organics, biodynamics and

integrated pest management in achieving their overriding

goal of ripe and healthy grapes.

Vinifcation

The Domaine manages to combine both traditional and

modern vinifcation techniques and produces wines that

are highly sought after and glorious examples of the magic

of red Burgundy. Up until 1999, all the wines from the

Domaine were whole cluster pressed retaining 100% of the

stems, with all new oak barrels used. Since the involvement

of Jeremy and particularly Diana in the wine-making, less

stems are generally allowed in the fermentation and the

malolactic fermentations are done later. The wines tend to

be deeper in colour than previously. Dujac wines are neither

fltered nor fned and all of their Premiers and Grand crus

are aged in 100% new oak

Wines

Domaine Dujac is unquestionably one of the fnest producers

in the Cote d’Or and have a large following of Burgundy

enthusiasts as their wines are frst class, with texture, depth,

silkiness and persistence.

Important Notices and Explanation of

Cataloguing Practice

BIDDINGBidding will be at duty-paid prices at per lot, unless a property is identified in the catalogue with the symbol ‡ next to the lot number.

OPTIONS TO BUY PARCELSA parcel consists of several lots of the same wine of identical lot size, bottle size and description.Bidding will start on the first lot of the parcel and the successful buyer of that lot is entitled to take some or all of the remaining lots in the parcel at the same hammer price.If the buyer of the first lot does not take further lots, the remaining lots of the parcel will be offered in a similar fashion.We recommend that a bid on a parcel lot be placed on the first lot of the parcel. If the bid is superseded, Christie‘s will automatically move your bid to the next identical lot and so on.In all instances, such bids will be handled at the auctioneer’s discretion.

WINES SOLD IN BOND ONLYBonded transfer certificates will be issued upon payment. United Kingdom purchasers will be responsible for duty, clearance, delivery and any other charges applicable from the date of sale.

WINES OFFERED DUTY PAIDUnless otherwise stated wines are offered duty paid and no excise duty or clearance VAT will be charged.

WINES OFFERED IN BONDWines marked with a ‡ symbol are in bond. You can choose to take these lots in bond or duty paid. Please note that if you choose to take these lots in bond the hammer price will be payable in full. We will not deduct excise duty from the hammer price. If you choose to take these lots duty paid excise duty at current rates and clearance VAT on the hammer price and duty will be added to your invoice. These charges cannot be cancelled or refunded by Christie’s. Please see the additional conditions of sale for wine for further details.

DELIVERIES (DUTY-PAID ONLY, U.K. MAINLAND)The carriage charge for all deliveries lying in cellars within the U.K. mainland is £15 per case or part case plus V.A.T. Wines lying at Christie’s are available for collection after payment, providing that 24 hours’ notice is given. Not less than an entire lot can be collected or delivered to one address.

DELIVERIES FOR OVERSEAS BUYERSChristie’s will arrange delivery to buyers’ agents within the U.K. mainland. We work closely with all the major shipping companies and will be happy to advise clients upon the most appropriate shipper if required.

CLASSIFICATIONSBordeaux Classifications in the text are for identification purposes only and are based on the official 1855 classification of the Médoc and other standard sources. All wines are Château-bottled unless stated otherwise.

RELEASE OF LOTSThe issue of Christie’s official Delivery Order will constitute delivery.

ULLAGES AND CORKS OF OLD WINESWines are described in this catalogue as correctly as can be ascertained at time of going to press, but buyers of old wines must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of cases, labels, corks and wine. No returns will be accepted.

ULLAGEThe amount by which level of wine is short of being full: these levels may vary according to age of the wines and, as far as can be ascertained by inspection prior to the sale, are described in the catalogue.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

CHRISTIE’S INTEREST IN PROPERTY CONSIGNED FOR AUCTIONFrom time to time, Christie’s may offer a lot which it owns in whole or in part. Such property is identified in the catalogue with the symbol ∆ next to its lot number. On occasion, Christie’s has a direct financial interest in lots consigned for sale, which may include guaranteeing a minimum price or making an advance to the consignor that is secured solely by consigned property. Where Christie’s holds such financial interest on its own we identify such lots with the symbol º next to the lot number.Where Christie’s has financed all or part of such interest through a third party the lots are identified in the catalogue with the symbol ºu. When a third party agrees to finance all or part of Christie’s interest in a lot, it takes on all or part of the risk of the lot not being sold, and will be remunerated in exchange for accepting this risk based on a fixed fee if the third party is the successful bidder or on the final hammer price in the event that the third party is not the successful bidder. The third party may also bid for the lot. Where it does so, and is the successful bidder, the remuneration may be netted against the final purchase price. If the lot is not sold, the third party may incur a loss. Please see http://www.christies.com/financial-interest/ for a more detailed explanation of minimum price guarantees and third party financing arrangements.Where Christie’s has an ownership or financial interest in every lot in the catalogue, Christie’s will not designate each lot with a symbol, but will state its interest in the front of

the catalogue.

ALL DIMENSIONS ARE APPROXIMATE

CONDITION

Christie’s catalogues include references to condition only in descriptions of multiple works (such as prints, books and wine). For all other property, only alterations or replacement components are listed. Please contact the Specialist Department for a condition report on a particular lot. The nature of the lots sold in our auctions is such that they will rarely be in perfect condition, and are likely, due to their nature and age, to show signs of wear and tear, damage, other imperfections, restoration or repair. Any reference to condition in a catalogue entry will not amount to a full description of condition. Condition reports are usually available on request, and will supplement the catalogue description. In describing lots, our staff assess the condition in a manner appropriate to the estimated value of the item and the nature of the auction in which it is included. Any statement as to the physical nature or condition of a lot, in a catalogue, condition report or otherwise, is given honestly and with appropriate care. However, Christie’s staff are not professional restorers or trained conservators and accordingly any such statement will not be exhaustive. We therefore recommend that you always view property personally, and, particularly in the case of any items of significant value, that you instruct your own restorer or other professional adviser to report to you in advance of bidding.

PROPERTY INCORPORATING MATERIALS

FROM ENDANGERED AND OTHER

PROTECTED SPECIESProperty made of or incorporating (irrespective of percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife are marked with the symbol ~in the catalogue. Such material includes, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin,

rhinoceros horn, whale bone and certain species of coral, together with Brazilian rosewood. Prospective purchasers are advised that several countries prohibit altogether the importation of property containing such materials, and that other countries require a permit (e.g., a CITES permit) from the relevant regulatory agencies in the countries of exportation as well as importation. Accordingly, clients should familiarise themselves with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on any property with wildlife material if they intend to import the property into another country. Please note that it is the client’s responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations applying to the export or import of property containing endangered and other protected wildlife material. The inability of a client to export or import property containing endangered and other protected wildlife material is not a basis for cancellation or rescission of the sale. Please note also that lots containing potentially regulated wildlife material are marked as a convenience to our clients, but Christie’s does not accept liability for errors or for failing to mark lots containing protected or regulated species.

RECENT CHANGES TO IMPORTS OF

ELEPHANT IVORY AND OTHER WILDLIFE

MATERIAL INTO THE USA

The USA has recently changed its policy on the import of property made of or containing elephant ivory. Only Asian Elephant ivory may be imported into the USA, and imports must be accompanied by DNA analysis and confirmation the object is more than 100 years old. We have not obtained a DNA analysis on any lot prior to sale and cannot indicate whether the elephant ivory in a particular lot is African or Asian elephant. Buyers purchase these lots at their own risk and will be responsible for the costs of obtaining any DNA analysis or other report required in connection with their proposed import of such property into the USA.

The USA is also currently requiring all imports of property made of or containing wildlife material to be accompanied by a scientific confirmation of spe-cies and in some cases an additional confirmation of age. We have not obtained such confirmations prior to sale (unless specifically indicated) and buyers will be responsible for the costs of any such additional confirmations or opinions required for their pro-posed import into the USA.

A buyer’s inability to export or import any lot containing elephant ivory or other wildlife material is not a basis for cancelling the purchase.

POST 1950 FURNITUREAll items of post-1950 furniture included in this sale are items either not originally supplied for use in a private home or now offered solely as works of art. These items may not comply with the provisions of the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 (as amended in 1989 and 1993, the “Regulations”). Accordingly, these items should not be used as furniture in your home in their current condition. If you do intend to use such items for this purpose, you must first ensure that they are reupholstered, restuffed and/or recovered (as appropriate) in order that they comply with the provisions of the Regulations.

Where “Estimate on Request” appears, please contact the Specialist Department for further information.

RESERVESThe reserve is the confidential minimum price the consignor will accept and will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate. Lots that are not subject to a reserve are identified by the symbol E next to the lot number.

REGISTERING TO BID ON SOMEONE ELSE’S BEHALFPersons bidding on behalf of an existing client should bring a signed letter from the client authorising the bidder to act on the client’s behalf. Please note that Christie’s does not accept payments from third parties. Christie’s can only accept pay-ment from the client, and not from the person bidding on their behalf.

BIDDINGThe auctioneer accepts bids from those present in the sale-room, from telephone bidders, or by absentee written bids left with Christie’s in advance of the auction.

Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the seller at or above the reserve. Bid steps are shown on the Absentee Bid Form at the back of this catalogue.

ABSENTEE BIDSAbsentee bids are written instructions from prospective buyers directing Christie’s to bid on their behalf up to a maximum amount specified for each lot. Christie’s staff will attempt to execute an absentee bid at the lowest possible price taking into account the reserve price. Absentee bids submitted on “no reserve” lots will, in the absence of a higher bid, be executed at approximately 50% of the low pre sale estimate or at the amount of the bid if it is less than 50% of the low pre-sale estimate.The auctioneer may execute absentee bids directly from the rostrum, clearly identifying these as “absentee bids”, “book bids”, “order bids” or “commission bids”. Absentee Bids Forms are available in this catalogue, at any Christie’s location, or online at christies.com.

The buyer agrees to pay to Christie’s an amount equal to the resale royalty. Resale royalty applies where the Hammer Price is 1,000 Euro or more and the amount cannot be more than 12,500 Euro per lot. The amount is calculated as follows:

Royalty For the portion of the Hammer Price (in Euro) 4.00% up to 50,000 3.00% between 50,000.01 and 200,000 1.00% between 200,000.01 and 350,000 0.50% between 350,000.01 and 500,000 0.25% in excess of 500,000

Invoices will, as usual, be issued in Pounds Sterling. For the purposes of calculating the resale royalty the Pounds Sterling/Euro rate of exchange will be the European Central Bank reference rate on the day of the sale.

SHIPPINGIt is the buyer’s responsibility to pick up purchases or make all shipping arrangements. After payment has been made in full, Christie’s can arrange property packing and shipping at the buyer’s request and expense. Buyers should request an estimate for any large items or property of high value that require professional packing. A shipping form is enclosed with each invoice, alternatively buyers can visit www.christies.com/shipping to request a shipping estimate.

Conditions of Sale

09/08/13

These Conditions of Sale and the Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice set out the terms governing the legal relationship of Christie’s and the seller with the buyer. You should read them carefully before bidding.

1. CHRISTIE’S AS AGENTExcept as otherwise stated Christie’s acts as agent for the seller. The contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the seller and the buyer.

2. CATALOGUE DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION

Lots are sold as described and otherwise in the condition they are in at the time of the sale, on the following basis.

(a) Condition

The nature of the lots sold in our auctions is such that they will rarely be in perfect condition, and are likely, due to their nature and age, to show signs of wear and tear, damage, other imperfections, restoration or repair. Any reference to condition in a catalogue entry will not amount to a full description of condition. Condition reports are usually available on request, and will supplement the catalogue description. In describing lots, our staff assess the condition in a manner appropriate to the estimated value of the item and the nature of the auction in which it is included. Any statement as to the physical nature or condition of a lot, in a catalogue, condition report or otherwise, is given honestly and with appropriate care. However, Christie’s staff are not professional restorers or trained conservators and accordingly any such statement will not be exhaustive. We therefore recommend that you always view property personally, and, particularly in the case of any items of significant value, that you instruct your own restorer or other professional adviser to report to you in advance of bidding.

(b) Cataloguing Practice

Our cataloguing practice is explained in the Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice, which appear after the catalogue entries.

(c) Attribution etc

Any statements made by Christie’s about any lot, whether orally or in writing, concerning attribution to, for example, an artist, school, or country of origin, or history or provenance, or any date or period, are expressions of our opinion or belief. Our opinions and beliefs have been formed honestly and in accordance with the standard of care reasonably to be expected of an auction house of Christie’s standing, due regard having been had to the estimated value of the item and the nature of the auction in which it is included. It must be clearly understood, however, that, due to the nature of the auction process, we are unable to carry out exhaustive research of the kind undertaken by professional historians and scholars, and also that, as research develops and scholarship and expertise evolve, opinions on these matters may change. We therefore recommend that, particularly in the case of any item of significant value, you seek advice on such matters from your own professional advisers.

(d) Estimates

Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose.

(e) Fitness for Purpose

Lots sold are enormously varied in terms of age, category and condition, and may be purchased for a variety of purposes. Unless otherwise specifically agreed, no promise is made that a lot is fit for any particular purpose.

3. AT THE SALE(a) Refusal of admission

Christie’s has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid.

(b) Registration before bidding

Prospective buyers who wish to bid in the saleroom can register online in advance of the sale, or can come to the saleroom on the day of the sale approximately 30 minutes before the start of the sale to register in person. Prospective buyers must complete and sign a registration form with his or her name and permanent address, and provide identification before bidding. We may require the production of bank details from which payment will be made or other financial references.

(c) Bidding as principal

When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Christie’s before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Christie’s, and that Christie’s will only look to the principal for payment.

(d) Absentee bids

We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids delivered to us prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in the currency of the place of the sale. Please refer to the catalogue for the Absentee Bids Form. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and at the auction these are the highest bids on the lot, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and provided that we have exercised reasonable care in the handling of written bids, the volume of goods is such that we cannot accept liability in any individual instance for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with it arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

(e) Telephone bids

If a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone but we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

(f) Currency converter

At some auctions a currency converter may be operated. Errors may occur in the operation of the currency converter. Where these arise from circumstances beyond our reasonable control we do not accept liability to bidders who follow the currency converter rather than the actual bidding in the saleroom.

(g) Video or digital imagesAt some auctions there may be a video or digital screen. Errors may occur in its operation and in the quality of the image. We do not accept liability for such errors where they arise for reasons beyond our reasonable control.

(h) ReservesUnless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. If any lots are not subject to a reserve, they will be identified with the symbol E next to the lot number. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders.

(i) Auctioneer’s discretionThe auctioneer has the right to exercise reasonable discretion in refusing any bid, advancing the bidding in such a manner as he may decide, withdrawing or dividing any lot, combining any two or more lots and, in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, determining the successful bidder, continuing the bidding, cancelling the sale or reoffering and reselling the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, then, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary the sale record maintained by the auctioneer will be conclusive.

(j) Successful bid and passing of riskSubject to the auctioneer’s reasonable discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the seller and the buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes to the buyer at the expiration of seven calendar days from the date of the sale or on collection by the buyer if earlier.

4. AFTER THE SALE(a) Buyer’s premium

In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay to us the buyer’s premium together with any applicable value added tax. The buyer’s premium is 25% of the final bid price of each lot up to and including H50,000, 20% of the excess of the hammer price above H50,000 and up to and including H1,000,000 and 12% of the excess of the hammer price above H1,000,000. Exceptions: Wine and Cigars: 17.5% of the final bid price of each lot, VAT is payable at the applicable rate.

(b) Artist’s Resale Right (“Droit de Suite”)If the Artist’s Resale Right Regulations 2006 apply to the lot the buyer also agrees to pay to us an amount equal to the resale royalty provided for in those Regulations. Lots affected are identified with the symbol λ next to the lot number.

(c) Payment and ownershipThe buyer must pay the full amount due (comprising the hammer price, buyer’s premium and any applicable taxes or resale royalty) immediately after the sale. This applies even if the buyer wishes to export the lot and an export licence is, or may be, required. The buyer will not acquire title to the lot until all amounts due to us from the buyer have been received by us in good cleared funds even in circumstances where we have released the lot to the buyer.

(d) Collection of purchasesWe shall be entitled to retain items sold until all amounts due to us, or to Christie’s International plc, or to any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies worldwide, have been received in full in good cleared funds or until the buyer has performed any other outstanding obligations as we, in our sole discretion, shall require, including, for the avoidance of doubt, completing any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks we may require to our satisfaction. In the event a buyer fails to complete any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks to our satisfaction, Christie’s shall be entitled to cancel the sale and to take any other actions that are required or permitted under applicable law. Subject to this, the buyer shall collect purchased lots within two calendar days from the date of the sale unless otherwise agreed between us and the buyer.

(e) Packing, handling and shippingAlthough we shall use reasonable efforts to take care when handling, packing and shipping a purchased lot and in selecting third parties for these purposes, we are not responsible for the acts or omissions of any such third parties. Similarly, where we suggest other handlers, packers or carriers if so requested, our suggestions are made on the basis of our general experience of such parties in the past and we are not responsible to any person to whom we have made a recommendation for the acts or omissions of the third party concerned.

(f) Export licenceUnless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact that the buyer wishes to apply for an export licence does not affect his or her obligation to make payment immediately after the sale nor our right to charge interest or storage charges on late payment. If the buyer requests us to apply for an export licence on his or her behalf, we shall be entitled to make a charge for this service. We shall not be obliged to rescind a sale nor to refund any interest or other expenses incurred by the buyer where payment is made by the buyer in circumstances where an export licence is required.

(g) Remedies for non paymentIf the buyer fails to make payment in full in good cleared funds within 7 days after the sale, we shall have the right to exercise a number of legal rights and remedies. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

(i) to charge interest at an annual rate equal to 5% above the base rate of Lloyds TSB Bank Plc;

(ii) to hold the defaulting buyer liable for the total amount due and to commence legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law;

(iii) to cancel the sale;

(iv) to resell the property publicly or privately on such terms as we shall think fit;

(v) to pay the seller an amount up to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the defaulting buyer;

(vi) to set off against any amounts which we, or Christie’s International plc, or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies worldwide, may owe the buyer in any other transactions, the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the buyer;

(vii) where several amounts are owed by the buyer to us, or to Christie’s International plc, or to any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies worldwide, in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount

owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not the buyer so directs;

(viii) to reject at any future auction any bids made by or on behalf of the buyer or to obtain a deposit from the buyer before accepting any bids;

(ix) to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by the buyer, whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way, to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. The buyer will be deemed to have granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for such buyer’s obligations to us;

(x) to take such other action as we deem necessary or appropriate.

If we resell the property under paragraph (iv) above, the defaulting buyer shall be liable for payment of any deficiency between the total amount originally due to us and the price obtained upon resale as well as for all reasonable costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and commissions and premiums of whatever kind associated with both sales or otherwise arising from the default. If we pay any amount to the seller under paragraph (v) above, the buyer acknowledges that Christie’s shall have all of the rights of the seller, however arising, to pursue the buyer for such amount.

(h) Failure to collect purchasesWhere purchases are not collected within two calendar days from the date of the sale, whether or not payment has been made, we shall be permitted to remove the property to a third party warehouse at the buyer’s expense, and only release the items after payment in full has been made of removal, storage, handling, and any other costs reasonably incurred, together with payment of all other amounts due to us.

(i) Selling Property at Christie’sIn addition to expenses such as transport, all consignors pay a commission according to a fixed scale of charges based upon the value of the property sold by the consignor at Christie’s in a calendar year. Commissions are charged on a sale by sale basis.

5. LIMITED WARRANTYIn addition to Christie’s liability to buyers set out in clause 2 of these Conditions, but subject to the terms and conditions of this paragraph, Christie’s warrants for a period of five years from the date of the sale that any property described in headings printed in UPPER CASE TYPE (i.e. headings having all capital-letter type) in this catalogue (as such description may be amended by any saleroom notice or announcement) which is stated without qualification to be the work of a named author or authorship, is authentic and not a forgery. The term “author” or “authorship” refers to the creator of the property or to the period, culture, source or origin, as the case may be, with which the creation of such property is identified in the UPPER CASE description of the property in this catalogue. Only UPPER CASE TYPE headings of lots in this catalogue indicate what is being warranted by Christie’s. Christie’s warranty does not apply to supplemental material which appears below the UPPER CASE TYPE headings of each lot and Christie’s is not responsible for any errors or omissions in such material. The terms used in the headings are further explained in Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice. The warranty does not apply to any heading which is stated to represent a qualified opinion. The warranty is subject to the following:

(i) It does not apply where (a) the catalogue description or saleroom notice corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars or experts at the date of the sale or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of opinions; or (b) correct identification of a lot can be demonstrated only by means of either a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at the date of publication of the catalogue was unreasonably expensive or impractical or likely to have caused damage to the property.

(ii) The benefits of the warranty are not assignable and shall apply only to the original buyer of the lot as shown on the invoice originally issued by Christie’s when the lot was sold at auction.

(iii) The original buyer must have remained the owner of the lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party.

(iv) The buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against Christie’s and the seller, in place of any other remedy which might be available, is the cancellation of the sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid for the lot. Neither Christie’s nor the seller will be liable for any special, incidental or consequential damages including, without limitation, loss of profits nor for interest.

(v) The buyer must give written notice of claim to us within five years from the date of the auction. It is Christie’s general policy, and Christie’s shall have the right, to require the buyer to obtain the written opinions of two recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Christie’s and the buyer, before Christie’s decides whether or not to cancel the sale under the warranty.

(vi) The buyer must return the lot to the Christie’s saleroom at which it was purchased in the same condition as at the time of the sale.

6. COPYRIGHTThe copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for Christie’s relating to a lot including the contents of this catalogue, is and shall remain at all times the property of Christie’s and shall not be used by the buyer, nor by anyone else, without our prior written consent. Christie’s and the seller make no representation or warranty that the buyer of a property will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights in it.

7. SEVERABILITYIf any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

8. LAW AND JURISDICTIONThe rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these Conditions of Sale, the conduct of the auction and any matters connected with any of the foregoing shall be governed and interpreted by the laws of England. By bidding at auction, whether present in person or by agent, by written bid, telephone or other means, the buyer shall be deemed to have submitted, for the benefit of Christie’s, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the United Kingdom.

Level/Ullage Descriptions and Interpretations

(see notes below)

BOTTLE SIZESmagnum = two regular bottles

marie-jeanne = three regular bottles

double-magnum = four regular bottles

SPECIAL NOTICE

Though every effort is made to describe or measure the levels of older vintages, corks over 20 years old begin to lose their elasticity and levels can change between cataloguing and sale. Old corks have also been known to fail during or after shipment.

We therefore repeat that there is always a risk of cork failure with old wines and due allowance must be made for this.

Under no circumstances can an adjustment of price or credit be made after delivery except under the terms stated in Paragraph 5 of the Conditions of Sale.

Unless otherwise stated, Bordeaux are château bottled and all wines are bottled in the country of production.

Important note regarding opening of cases and listing of levels: Christie’s and NYWines general policy is to open all wood cases and to describe levels. Bidders must make allowances for reasonable variations in ullage which may be encountered in cases from the 1984 vintage and older. Additionally, all wine from vintages 1985 and younger have levels bottom neck or better unless otherwise noted.

BORDEAUX

1 into neck: Level of young wines. Exceptionally good in wines over 10 years old.

2 bottom neck: Perfectly good for any age of wine. Outstandingly good for awine of 20 years in bottle, or longer.

3 very top-shoulder

4 top-shoulder: Normal for any claret 15 years old or older.

5 upper-shoulder: Slight naturalreduction through the easing of thecork and evaporation through corkand capsule. Usually no problem.Acceptable for any wine over 20 years old. Exceptional for pre-1950 wines.

6 mid-shoulder: Probably some weakening of the cork and some risk. Not abnormal for wines 30/40 years of age. Estimates usually take this into account.

7 mid-low-shoulder: Some risk. Low estimates.

8 low-shoulder: Risky and usually only accepted for sale if wine or label exceptionally rare or interesting. Always offered with low estimate.

Because of the slope of shoulder it is impractical to describe levels as mid-shoulder, etc. Wherever appropriate the level between cork and wine will be measured and catalogued in centimetres.

The condition and drinkability of burgundy is less affected by ullage than its equivalent from Bordeaux. For example, a 5 to 7 cm. ullage in a 30-year-old burgundy can be considered normal, indeed good for age, 3.5 to 4 cm. excellent for age, even 7cm. rarely a risk.
