October 2014

Nicolas Glumineau, the recently appointed Managing Director of Château Pichon-Longueville,

Comtesse de Lalande, quietly but intently absorbed the action during the second period of the

Blackhawks game. The Hawks had just scored, but still trailed the Avalanche 2-1. We had just

fi nished a vertical tasting of Pichon Lalande held in the Governor’s Ballroom at the United Center,

culminating with an impressive fl ight of the 1985 and 1986 vintages. As the tasting ended, the

attendees hurried to catch the start of the game and to enjoy a few more glasses. Nicolas, however,

declined to take any more wine and instead reached for a Coors Light. He was in full hockey mode. I

knew then that we needed to do this auction.

Bordeaux no longer so easily fi ts into many of the familiar boxes of our prejudices. When it comes

to longevity and quality, Bordeaux has seemingly always reigned supreme, while for decades

dominating the high end of both the auction and retail markets. The rich history and tradition of

the region leave no doubt as to the quality of the wines. But words like “history” and “tradition”

can create double edged perceptions; when asked to envision a vertical tasting of Pichon Lalande,

many of us might envision a group of conservatively-dressed, older men in a wood-paneled room,

reminiscing about a dinner they had with the legendary May-Eliane de Lencquesaing in 1984. Few

of us would imagine Nicolas Glumineau (who was ten years old in 1984) speaking to Pichon Lalande

fans adorned in hockey jerseys, then heading up for a hockey game and a beer. The great Bordeaux

châteaux are the defi nition of blue-chip, but have they been lacking in innovation? They were the

greatest wines of our grandfathers’ generation, but does the current generation of wine lovers view

the region as being somewhat staid?

When Nicolas speaks about his decision to use more Cabernet Sauvignon and less Merlot in future

vintages of Pichon Lalande, he seems a bit apologetic, as if he knows he might cause some alarm

among traditionalists. But he mainly comes across as a man with a clear vision of what needs to

be done to create the greatest possible expression of the blessed terroir of Pichon Lalande. He

then tells you with total conviction that the wine will not lose its sense of femininity, that the terroir

transcends the grape varietal and that Pichon Lalande will always be Pichon Lalande…just a better

version of itself. It’s hard not to be excited about the future.

There is a new generation of leaders taking over the winemaking process in Bordeaux. They respect

tradition, but they don’t consider themselves bound by it. They are shaking things up in the vineyard

and the winery. They are bringing new ideas and energy to a region that really has become the

leader in innovation, in spite of the outmoded perceptions around it. Pierre Lurton of Château Cheval

Blanc, Hervé Berland of Château Montrose, and Nicolas Glumineau of Château Pichon-Longueville,

Comtesse de Lalande are out in front leading the charge. Their wines will be the legends of the

future and the subjects of hundreds of auction catalogs for decades to come.

Sincerely,

Ben Nelson

President

Annual Comparative Bordeaux Tasting

Vintages 2009 and 2010

Thursday, October 30, 2014

6:30-9:00pm

The Peninsula

Avenues Ballroom108 East Superior St., Chicago, IL 60611

$800 per person

Please join us for our annual Comparative Bordeaux Tasting

as we compare the truly outstanding 2009 and 2010 vintages.

The tasting will feature both vintages from 20 top Châteaux

including La Mission Haut-Brion, Pétrus, and all fi ve First

Growths. In total, 21 of the 42 wines have earned the elusive

100-point score.

The 2009 and 2010 vintage Bordeaux have generated

excitement from critics ever since they were tasted from

barrel. Both years are sure to be remembered as classic

vintages. Determining which vintage is superior has been a

source of dispute in the wine world. Robert Parker claims that

the 2009 is “unquestionably the greatest Bordeaux vintage I

have ever tasted,” but it’s been fi ercely debated as to whether

the 2010 vintage will surpass it after aging. This is your

opportunity to decide for yourself whether you prefer the ripe,

rich 2009 Bordeaux or the structured and fi rm wines of 2010.

The evening will include wines from:

Château Beauséjour (Duffau-Lagarrosse)

Château Clinet

Château Cos d’Estournel

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

Château Haut-Brion

A CELEBRATION OF BORDEAUXIncluding Wines Directly From: CHATEAU CHEVAL BLANC

CHEVAL BLANC DIRECTLY FROM THE CHATEAU

Stored in the Estate’s Cellars in St-Emilion Until Recent Shipment to HDH

Perched on the border of St.-Emilion and Pomerol, Cheval Blanc produces one of the fi nest, most

distinctive wines in Bordeaux. The estate was founded upon the idea of marrying the traditional

varietal of St-Emilion, Merlot, with Cabernet Franc, and it has undeniably proved the merit of that

idea. In 1954, it was one of only two properties awarded the supreme distinction of Premier Grand Cru

Classé (A). Partners Bernard Arnault and Baron Frère purchased the already legendary Château in

1998, and have since worked to perpetuate its tradition while bringing an elegant touch of modernity

to the estate. They retained current, renowned Director Pierre Lurton, who has held his position at

Cheval Blanc since 1991 (and who also serves as CEO at Château d’Yquem, Cheval des Andes, La Tour

du Pin, and Château Marjosse).

Cheval Blanc’s vineyards are composed of a single stretch of vines that have remained virtually

unchanged since 1871. These aged vines grow within Cheval’s three distinctive terroirs—40% deep

gravel, 40% gravel over clay subsoil, and 20% sand atop clay. Together, this incredibly unique mélange

of gravel, clay and sand perfectly nurture Cabernet Franc and Merlot, and help give the wine its

signature complexity.

Pierre Lurton runs Cheval Blanc with the conviction that wine is made primarily in the vineyard. With four times more permanent

staff working among the vines than in the winery, Lurton focuses on improving the quality of the estate’s wine through ecologically

mindful viticulture. Under his leadership, Cheval Blanc implements four separate, careful ploughing operations during the vegetation

cycle, has absolutely prohibited the use of herbicides, and has planted hedges with the goal of stimulating animal biodiversity among

the vines. Yields are limited to an output of 25 to 40 hl/ha through a combination of high vine density and severe pruning. Rather than

waiting for completely uniform phenolic ripeness, Lurton’s team picks plots individually as it sees fi t, selecting grapes of slightly

different levels of maturity in order to give the wine further complexity. Lurton then uses a classical, low-tech approach in the cellar to

highlight the characteristics of each vintage. The estate’s sleek new facilities (completed in 2011) allow Lurton to vinify each of Cheval’s

44 plots separately and then carefully blend them as he deems fi t.

The wines of Cheval Blanc are often unlike any others in Bordeaux. Cabernet Franc comprises half of the blend--almost unheard

of among other major châteaux. Yet the estate masterfully demonstrates the full potential of the grape. The varietal adds aromatic

complexity, elegance, length, and beautifully mellowed tannins to Merlot’s silky texture and roundness. As wine write Neal Martin says,

“It is neither Saint Emilion nor Pomerol, it is simply Cheval-Blanc and therefore potentially one of the best wines in the world.” Neal

Martin, Château Cheval Blanc, November 2006, eRobertParker.com

::

FROM THE PRISTINE FOX CELLAR, A MAGNIFICENT

COLLECTION OF FINEST BORDEAUX IN CASE

QUANTITIES AND WITH IMPECCABLE PROVENANCE

The Fox Cellar, one of the most extensive private cellars

in North America, was the source of two blockbuster

single-owner auctions conducted by HDH. Both auctions

achieved numerous record prices and forever raised the

bar for standards of provenance in the industry.

Hart Davis Hart has truly been honored to represent the

Fox Cellar over the years, and we are now pleased to offer

this stunning selection of some of the collection’s fi nest

Bordeaux. The offering is dense with quality, highlighted by

no fewer than 47 lots of Mouton (including an array of rare

imperials), 24 lots of Lafi te, and at least 10 lots each of the

remaining three First Growths. In all, it features more than

200 lots awarded 99 or 100 point scores by Robert Parker.

All wines were acquired by the owner as futures, upon

initial release, or from HDH auctions. The owner has

provided HDH with receipts for virtually every bottle in the

offering. Since purchase, all wines have been stored in a

highly customized underground cellar which maintains

ideal conditions.

This auction has been designed to highlight the fi nest

available wines from Bordeaux in terms of quality and

provenance, and this offering is undoubtedly the pinnacle

of both. We’re delighted to provide collectors another

opportunity to acquire wines from one of the most

spectacular private cellars we’ve encountered over the

past three decades.

CHATEAU HAUT-BRION

With vineyards dating from the early 1500s, Haut Brion has

a rich legacy. In fact, it was one of the fi rst châteaux to earn

name recognition outside of France. The Château’s red wine

was beloved by the English beginning in the 17th century

and, later, by American connoisseurs including Thomas

Jefferson. One of only four vineyards deemed worthy of the

title of First Growth under the Classifi cation of 1855, the

wine continues to live up to that honor today. It is defi ned by

its aromatic complexity, elegance, and supple earthiness.

“Despite [its] precociousness, it has the ability to gain

weight as well as texture, and to age for 30 or more years

in top vintages, giving it a broader window of drinkability

than any other fi rst growth. Aromatically, a great vintage

of Haut-Brion has no peers...” Robert Parker Jr., The

World’s Greatest Wine Estates

Château Haut-Brion 1993Pessac-Léognan, 1er cru classéOne nicked label; US warning label adhered to lower part of one château label“...fragrant, sweet, berry, blackcurrant, mineral, lead pencil,

ly...fi rm acidity...” (92 points) Stephen Tanzer, IWC, May/June 1999


Château Haut-Brion 2009Pessac-Léognan, 1er cru classé“...perfume of subtle burning embers, unsmoked cigar tobacco,

charcoal, black raspberries, wet gravel, plums, fi gs and blue-

berries...” (100 points) Robert Parker, WA #199, February 2012






Château Haut-Brion 2010Pessac-Léognan, 1er cru classé“...extraordinary...ethereal...spectacular smorgasbord of

aromas ranging from charcoal and camphor to black currant

and blueberry liqueur and spring fl owers...” (100 points) Robert Parker, WA #205, February 2013



Château Haut-Brion 2011Pessac-Léognan, 1er cru classé“...redcurrant and berry...with fl owers and sweet tobacco on the

nose...super-integrated tannins and a light shaved-chocolate,

berry and cedar character...” (96 points) JS, January 28 2014


CHATEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD

Lafi te’s extraordinary prestige dates from the 18th century.

The wine was a favorite among the Versailles court, where

it was heralded as “the King’s Wine,” the “fountain of

youth” and “…as delicious as the ambrosia of the Gods

of Olympus.” Lafi te was at the fore of the classifi ed First

Growths in 1855, and has endured as an undisputed

leader in the wine world. Often compared with Latour and

Mouton, it aims not to eclipse its competitors with size or

power, but to transcend them with subtlety and grace.

“Lafi te remains Bordeaux’s most famous property and wine,

and—with its elegant, undersized, and understated label—

has become a name synonymous with wealth, prestige,

history, respect, and wines of remarkable longevity.” Robert

Parker Jr., The World’s Greatest Wine Estates

Château Lafi te Rothschild 1961Pauillac, 1er cru classéOne top shoulder, one very high shoulder level; both labels slightly damp stained, one also slightly torn; one capsule cut prior to inspection by HDH reveals fully branded cork; two importers“...the sweetness of fully ripe grapes and alcohol, a mouthfi lling

CHATEAU LATOUR

A great deal of Latour’s brilliance can be attributed to

a special area at its vineyards’ core known as L’Enclos.

This parcel of soil, while varied, is extraordinarily well-

drained, and is delineated with layers of clay that hold

moisture deep in the subsoil and quench the vines’ roots.

For these reasons, Latour has a long-standing reputation

of consistency and excellence, even in vintages where

other First Growths struggle. Latour wines have a history

of being slow-developing, but a few decades of cellaring

reveal wines of superb complexity, body and power.

“The wine produced here has been an impeccable model

of consistent excellence, in great, mediocre, and poor

vintages. For that reason, many have long considered

Latour to be the Médoc’s fi nest wine….Latour remains

one of the most concentrated, rich, tannic, and full-bodied

wines in the world. When mature, it has a compelling

bouquet of fresh walnuts and leather, black currants and

gravelly mineral scents. On the palate, it can be a wine

of extraordinary richness, yet it is never heavy.” Robert

CHATEAU MARGAUX

Tracing its history as a vineyard to the 1500s, Margaux

has been gracing the pages of auction catalogs since

1771, and has maintained a reputation for excellence

throughout the 19th century. While Margaux, like many

producers in Bordeaux, faced challenges of weather and

war during the fi rst half of the 20th century, it endured

and rebounded, culminating with a historic vintage

in 1978. Today, Margaux’s wine perfectly refl ects the

stunning château that graces its label and grounds.

“The…acclaimed 1978 Margaux was followed by a

succession of brilliantly executed wines that are so

stunning, rich, and balanced that it is not unfair to suggest

that during the 1980s there was no better wine made in

all of Bordeaux than that of Margaux…The style of the

rejuvenated wine at Margaux is one of opulent richness, a

deep, multidimensional bouquet with a fragrance of ripe

black currants, spicy vanilla oakiness, and violets.” Robert

CHATEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD

“Premier je suis. Second je fus. Mouton ne change.” (First

I am. Second I was. Mouton does not change.)

Mouton is the only château to be promoted to First Growth

status since the Classifi cation of 1855, and there remains

little doubt why. While the estate was long considered to

have been overlooked in 1855, it was through the efforts

of the legendary proprietor Baron Philippe de Rothschild

that Mouton was elevated to its current status. Taking

over management in 1922, the energetic Baron devoted

himself to the Château and, using shrewd business sense

and charisma, promoted the estate’s opulent, rich wine

throughout the world. His daughter, the late Baroness

Philippine de Rothschild, took responsibility for the estate

upon his death, exhibiting his same magnetism and drive

in leading Mouton into the 21st century.

“There is no question that some of the greatest bottles

of Bordeaux I have ever drunk have been Moutons…the

opulence of Mouton in the great vintages differs signifi cantly

in style from the austere elegance of Lafi te Rothschild and

the powerful, tannic, dense and muscular Latour.” Robert

2009 VINTAGE

Several factors contributed to making this one of the most

celebrated vintages of all time. First, the 2009 vintage saw

near perfect weather conditions. Good rainfall in January

and April prepared the vineyards for ideal budding and

fl owering. Vines fi nished their main growth spurt just

as the particularly warm and sunny summer began,

allowing the grapes to ripen beautifully. Aside from brief

rain in September, the autumn was mild, giving growers

fl exibility in deciding when grapes had reached their

optimum balance of sugars, acids and phenolics and were

ready to be picked.

Second, in 2009, a drive for innovation led many Bordelais

to improve their approach in the vineyard. In particular,

the fl exibility of favorable weather allowed harvesters

to take advantage of new technologies (including

infrared satellites and cameras equipped with GPS)

to monitor fruit development and to carefully pinpoint

ripeness. However, when it came to winemaking,

the châteaux hearkened back to traditionalism and

restraint. The perfect weather conditions and ability

to harvest plots individually based on ripeness yielded

grapes that virtually begged to be left undisturbed in the

cellar. Instead, winemakers focused their attention on

minimalist techniques and meticulous blending.

These efforts, coupled with the phenomenal weather,

undoubtedly paid off. Robert Parker awarded 100-point

scores to 5 wines in both 1982 and 2000. In 2009, he

awarded them to 20. He was not alone—Jancis Robinson

also recalls issuing a record number of high scores to

the 2009s, and James Suckling similarly fi nds the vintage

unparalleled in modern times. The wines are aromatically

expressive, luxuriously fl eshy, and decidedly sexy.

2010 VINTAGE

Coming right on the heels of the fantastic 2009 vintage,

many wine critics initially scoffed at the idea that 2010

would be another monumental year. However, time and

tastings have overwhelmingly proved that 2009 and 2010 are

of equal, profound quality, albeit markedly different style.

Weather was considerably more of a challenge in 2010.

A slow start after an unusually rainy winter led to

somewhat uneven fl owering and budbreak in mid-April.

A subsequent brief cold front affl icted some Merlot vines

and contributed to reduced yields and concentration

among surviving berries. Extremely dry summer days

put stress on the vines and led to further concentration

and development of formidable tannins, while cool nights

caused the grapes to develop vibrant levels of acidity.

Harvest had to be carefully timed so that both Merlot and

Cabernet Sauvignon were picked under ideal conditions.

As in 2009, 2010 saw a rise in the use of innovative

techniques in the vineyards (while maintaining a classic,

hands-off approach in the cellar). Some estates looked

to cutting-edge science to better understand their terroir

and monitor vine stress. Lynch-Bages, for example,

conducted studies of its soil’s mineral concentration,

acidity, and electrical conductivity (which corresponds

to its ability to transmit nutrients) and used the results

to observe growth and plan new vineyard plots that

better match grape varietals with soil. Others sought

simpler solutions to promote healthy earth and vines, like

Pontet-Canet, which replaced its tractors with teams of

horses to avoid compacting the soil above its vines. As

in 2009, vignerons were careful to steer away from the

pitfalls of overmanipulation, knowing that they needed to

particularly avoid heavy extraction given the grapes’ thick

skins and intense tannins.

The measured approach of the Bordelais in both 2009

and 2010 seems to have arisen from a genuine desire

to improve the quality of wines in an authentic way—

preserving the integrity of famous labels without hiding

behind them. In 2010, their efforts led to big, well-

structured, and precise wines whose balanced tannins

and acidity promise that they will evolve beautifully over

time. The 2010s are the very essence of classic Bordeaux.

A CELEBRATION OF BORDEAUXIncluding Wines Directly From: CHATEAU MONTROSE

CHATEAU PICHON-LONGUEVILLE, LALANDE

THE DR. ROBERT SHOEMAKER COLLECTION

LOTS 735 - 1466 9:00AM


MONTROSE DIRECTLY FROM THE CHATEAU

Stored in the Estate’s Cellars in St-Estèphe Until Recent Shipment to HDH

One of the fi rst châteaux that comes to mind whenever the term “Super Second” is uttered is Château

Montrose. Situated on slopes overlooking the Gironde River, the 95-hectare, single-block vineyard of

Château Montrose occupies one of the premier locations in the Médoc. The estate’s higher elevation,

exceptional exposure and proximity to the Gironde estuary foster an ideal microclimate that protects

Montrose’s vineyards from harsh weather. Its soil consists of an ideal mixture of gravel, large stones

from the Pyrenees Mountains, and iron-rich sand atop a bed of clay and limestone. Altogether, this

terroir allows Montrose to produce some of the fi nest and most reliable wines in Bordeaux.

The land of today’s Montrose spent much of its history as a scrubland covered by dense pink heather,

earning it the nickname “Mont Rose.” In the early 1800s, Etienne-Théodore Dumoulin purchased

the property with the belief that its location and unique gravel terroir had the potential to yield

extraordinary wine. Dumoulin’s hunch was quickly proven correct—in 1855, Château Montrose became

one of the youngest estates to be classifi ed as a Second Growth.

Montrose has since lived up to (and arguably even exceeded) its classifi cation as one of the fi nest wines

in Bordeaux. After Dumoulin’s death, the estate passed to the Charmolüe family, who began a tradition of

constant improvement and investment in the property that has been furthered by the estate’s newest owners, brothers Martin and Olivier

Bouygues. Since purchasing Montrose in 2006, the Bouygues have invested in the construction of new state-of-the-art, green facilities for

the property, and have enlisted the expertise of renowned geologists, vignerons, and 1er Grand Cru Classé managers. Most recently, Hervé

Berland (former director of Mouton Rothschild) was brought on as CEO upon the retirement of the legendary Jean-Bernard Delmas.

Born and raised in Bordeaux, Berland brings 35 years of experience to Montrose. After graduating from the Hotel and Catering

Management School of Paris, he joined the Baron Philippe de Rothschild group in 1977 as export manager for Europe, and was soon

after promoted to Export Director for the group. He was eventually appointed Commercial and Communication Director for Château

Mouton Rothschild in 1996, which he left in 2012 to join Château Montrose. Together, the Bouygues and Berland have spearheaded

revitalization efforts including a plan to replant the entire vineyard over a 40-year period, increasing vine density to 9,000 vines per

hectare in order to produce the best fruit, and implementing exclusive hand-harvesting at peak maturity. Berland oversees a work

environment in which growers, winemakers, technical specialists and academic authorities all work together.

Although the style of Montrose has evolved over the years, the caliber of the wine has always been consistently exceptional. In the

estate’s earlier years, its owners crafted the wine in a powerful, austere style that required years of cellaring and patience to reach its

potential. Today the wines of Montrose today are considerably more approachable in their youth. However, they remain one of the most

concentrated, robust, and powerful wines in the region.

PICHON-LONGUEVILLE, LALANDE DIRECTLY FROM THE CHATEAU

Stored in the Estate’s Cellars in Pauillac Until Recent Shipment to HDH

Château Pichon Longueville, Comtesse de Lalande (Pichon-Lalande) produces some of the most

famous and consistently profound wines in Pauillac, often rivaling its First Growth neighbors. First

planted in the 17th century, Lalande was originally part of the large Pichon-Longueville Estate, which

was divided among a male heir and three daughters in the early 1800s. Eventually, the parcels given

to the daughters were consolidated under one sister, the Comtesse de Lalande, and were separated

entirely from what became Pichon-Baron in 1860. The estate was then purchased in 1925 and run

by the Miailhes family until 2007, when Louis Roederer took ownership. Roederer has begun efforts

to build upon Pichon-Lalande’s already stellar reputation—perhaps most importantly by bringing on

Nicolas Glumineau as General Manager and Winemaker in 2012.

While wine has played a major role in Glumineau’s family’s history, he does not come from a wine legacy.

Instead, he has earned his considerable accomplishments (at such a young age) through a blend of

dedicated study and talent. In his education he carefully combines both theoretical and applied approaches,

studying genetics at the University of Oenology in Bordeaux, and, later, viti- and vinicultural engineering at

the National Agronomic School of Montpellier. Before joining the team at Pichon-Lalande, he spent stints

working at both Haut-Brion and Margaux, and, at the age of 32, became manager at Château Montrose in 2007 (working in collaboration with

Jean-Bernard Delmas). During this time he learned about the wine industry fi rsthand from the very best in Bordeaux. Most importantly, he

gained utmost respect for the vineyard, and learned how to highlight the nature of terroir in wine without exaggerating it in vinifi cation.

Glumineau’s goal at Pichon-Lalande is to make wines of precision—that perfect balance between climate and vinifi cation. Since

2012, he has added greatly to the improvements at Pichon-Lalande that Roederer previously put in place. Glumineau oversees a new,

state-of-the-art vat room created in 2013 that features a wide range of tank sizes, allowing wine from plots to be vinifi ed individually.

These new facilities indicate that the already lovely wines of Pichon-Lalande will continue to improve even in tough vintages. Moreover,

Glumineau aims to use them as tools to hone his team’s skills, believing that “winemaking is a school of humility” and that constant

improvement is essential. He has also been adamant about connecting with the new generation of wine drinkers while respecting the

loyal markets that have contributed to Bordeaux’s history. He aims to get more engaged with consumers, to show them that Bordeaux

is not just a historic name or icon but something they can actively engage in.

Historically, the wines of Pichon-Lalande have been known for their elegance, femininity, and quiet strength. They are wines of fi nesse,

whose deceptively subtle structure gives them beautiful balance as well as the ability to age gracefully. According to Glumineau,

Pichon-Lalande’s most successful wines are very Pauillac in style, and it is this balance between femininity and the expressiveness of

the terroir that he aims to highlight in the future.

A FURTHER INSTALLMENT OF OUTSTANDING

BORDEAUX FROM THE WINE TRUST COLLECTION

FEATURING SINGLE-OWNER PROVENANCE AND

IDEAL STORAGE

The Wine Trust Collection had its origins in the early

1970’s, when the owner began to build a remarkable

traditional family legacy cellar. The owner purchased

directly from Châteaux and cellared the wines in

Bordeaux. This installment represents a small portion of

the collection and was moved to the US via temperature-

controlled shipment and has been kept since in an

underground temperature and humidity-controlled facility

with backup systems and state-of-the-art conditions.

Ullage, Bottle Size Descriptions & Summary of Abbreviations Used in this Catalog

LEVELS OF WINEFor Bordeaux, Port and other wines in bottles with defi ned shoulders the extent of ullage (or wine level

in the bottle) is described by its position in the bottle. Our policy is to note levels only when we feel that

signifi cant ullage has taken place since bottling. Our interpretations are as follows:

NECK The normal level of young wines

BN: Base neck Totally acceptable for any age of wine

TS: Top shoulder Normal level for wines 15-20 years old

VHS: Very high shoulder Typical for any wine of 20 years of age or older

HS: High shoulder Natural reduction through the cork, usually acceptable

MS: Mid shoulder Typically due to some deterioration of the cork and therefore some

variation in overall condition of wine

LS: Low shoulder Risky, usually not accepted for sale

For Burgundy, German and other wines in bottles with sloping necks the ullage is measured in centi-

meters from the base of the cork.

BOTTLE SIZESHalf-bottle: 375 milliliters (ML)

Bottle: 750 milliliters (ML)

Magnum: 1.5 liters (L)

Double-magnum: 3 liters (L)

Jeroboam:* 5 liters (L), except when used to designate Burgundy or sparkling

wine, in which case the contents are 3 liters (L)

Rehoboam: Same literage as a jeroboam, but in a bottle of different shape

Imperial: 6 liters (L)

Methuselah: Same literage as imperial, but in a bottle of different shape

Salmanazar: 9 liters (L)

Balthazar: 12 liters

Nebuchadnezzar: 12 to 16 liters (L)

Melchior: 18 liters (L)

Case: 12 standard bottles, 24 half-bottles or 6 magnums

* Please note that prior to 1978 Bordeaux wines bottled in jeroboams were typically 4.5L bottles

KEY: oc = original case • owc = original wooden case

PROCEDURES FOR BIDDING & PAYMENT

CONDITIONS OF SALEBidders are strongly encouraged to read the Conditions of Sale con-

tained in this catalog that state the terms governing the purchase of all

property sold at auction. By bidding at auction, you agree to be bound

by these “Procedures for Bidding & Payment” as well as the “Condi-

tions of Sale.”

BIDDER REGISTRATIONBidders attending the auction will be required to register for a bidding

paddle prior to the auction. We strongly encourage new bidders to

pre-register with us at least 48 hours prior to the auction. Please be

prepared to provide bank references, identifi cation and a major

credit card. Please contact Annie Trooien at 312.573.5592 or

[email protected] to complete the pre-registration process.

A Registration Desk will be staffed at Tru one hour prior to the begin-

ning of the session through the completion of the auction session.

Major credit cards and/or a driver’s license will be required as identi-

fi cation. Bidders must be at least 21 years old and may be required to

show proof of age. A valid credit card (MasterCard, Visa, Discover or

American Express) must be presented with all bids. Bidding will be by

paddle only, and all transactions are subject to the Conditions of Sale.

DESCRIPTION OF WINETo the best of our knowledge, all wines benefi ted from proper storage

prior to being delivered to our temperature and humidity-controlled

cellar. Every bottle in this catalog has been carefully inspected by our

experts and described as accurately as possible. Buyers of older and

more fragile wines must make proper allowances for natural variations

of ullage and general condition. Wines less than 30 years of age have

been determined by HDH, based on our professional judgement, to be

in generally excellent condition unless otherwise indicated. Our policy

is to note levels only when we feel that signifi cant ullage has taken

place since bottling. As outlined in the Conditions of Sale, no returns

will be accepted.

FORMAT OF CATALOGWines are typically grouped by cellar and are preceded by a general

heading, providing specifi c information about the provenance of the

wines. The description of wine is followed by a lot number and quantity

offered. A comprehensive index is provided at the end of the catalog.

TASTING NOTESWe have been given permission by several of the world’s leading wine

critics to use their tasting notes in our catalogs. Due to space limita-

tions, the notes in the catalog have been edited. The entire note, and

notes from other critics (where available) may be accessed by viewing

the catalog via our website, www.hdhwine.com.

AUCTION ESTIMATESAuction estimates are provided for each lot, with all fi gures based on

the most recent auction market results for the same or comparable

wines. Rarity and condition are at all times taken into consideration.

Estimates do not include Buyer’s Premium or sales tax.

BIDDINGIn the saleroom, bidding is by registered paddle only. All wine is offered

by lot. Bidding increments are provided on the Absentee Bidding Form

in the back of the catalog. Consignors and their agents are strictly for-

bidden from bidding on their own property. All bids and lots are subject

to auctioneer’s discrection.

ABSENTEE BIDDINGThose who wish to bid but are unable to attend the auction are encour-

aged to submit absentee bids. Absentee bids are treated in the strictest

of confi dence and at all times lots are acquired at the lowest possible

price. In the event that duplicate bids are received, the earliest bid

takes precedence. Therefore, absentee bidders are urged to bid as

early as possible.

PLEASE NOTE: Either/or bids and bid sheets with a limit applied are executed on the fl oor by an HDH staff member and therefore do not take precedence over an unconditional absentee bid, regardless of the date and time the conditional bids are placed.

Either/or bidding enables you to secure just one of a group of lots. We

will execute bids on your behalf until one of the intended lots is won.

For example, if you bid on lots 12, 56 and 247 but only want to secure

one lot, we will bid on lot 12. If we are unsuccessful, we will move for-

ward with your bid on lot 56. If we are then successful on lot 56 we will

not execute your bid on lot 247.

When submitting bids please organize your bids alphabetically, see below:

Absentee bids are accepted through our website, www.hdhwine.com,

by telephone, fax, or mail. An Absentee Bid Form is provided in the

back of the catalog. Bids should be submitted in ample time for proper

processing. A valid credit card must be submitted along with bids. We

reserve the right to require written confi rmation and/or bank refer-

ences for all bids, and may, at our discretion, perform a credit card

pre-authorization up to the total amount of your bids or request a

portion of the total amount of the bids as a deposit. Absentee bids may

be submitted on the day of the auction; however, we cannot guarantee

these bids will be executed, though we will use every means available.

We recommend absentee bids be submitted prior to 5:00pm CST the

day before each auction session.

Bids must be submitted in consecutive numerical order, using the bid-

ding increments listed on the Absentee Bid Form. If bids are received

with incorrect bidding increments, we reserve the right to round the

bids down to the next appropriate increment.

PHONE BIDDINGLive telephone bidding is available on a very limited basis, and with

advance arrangements only. Bidders who wish to bid live by telephone

must submit a list of lots on which they wish to bid 48 hours before the

auction. We are unable to accept calls in the saleroom and must be sup-

plied a telephone number where the bidder can be reached on the day of

the auction, along with an alternate telephone number. Bidders are en-

couraged to leave a written bid as well, which would be executed only in

the event our agents are unable to make contact by telephone. Although

we strive to accommodate all requests for this special service, there are

a limited number of telephones and staff members available.

LIVE ONLINE BIDDINGLive online bidding is available at www.hdhlive.com. Bidders who wish

to bid live online should register to do so at least 48 hours before the

auction. The registration process will be followed as per the above

paragraph under “Bidder Registration.”

PLEASE NOTE: We offer bidding services at no charge, with the un-derstanding that any failure to execute bids or error in doing so shall not be the responsibility of Hart Davis Hart Wine Co. or its staff.

PAYMENTInvoices are mailed or emailed to successful bidders by the fi rst busi-

ness day following the auction, except when the buyer is a licensee, in

which case their invoice will be routed through a properly licensed Illi-

nois wholesaler. Payment is due upon receipt of the invoice. Remittance

must be received in U.S. dollars; foreign checks are not allowed. We ac-

cept wire transfers, checks drawn on U.S. banks, money orders, direct

debit via ACH initiation (please contact Annie Trooien at 312.573.5592 to

set up), as well as MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express.

Payment by credit card is limited to a total of $25,000 per buyer per

auction. All successful bids will be processed through a properly

licensed retailer in Illinois. When using a credit card to make a payment

for a purchase, the purchaser irrevocably waives any chargeback rights

they may have under their card holder agreement or otherwise.

Buyers wishing to pay for purchases via wire transfer should direct

funds to:

Swift Code: WTFCUS44

Benefi ciary account name: HART DAVIS HART WINE CO

Benefi ciary account number: 7520004406870

If payment has not been received by the 21st day following the auction,

HDH Wine Co. reserves the right to charge the buyer’s credit card on

fi le for any amounts still due as well as any resulting late fees and

other costs incurred, including credit card processing fees. Payments

received after this 21st day will be subject to a late fee equal to 3% of

the total purchase price. Additional late fees equal to 3% of the total

purchase price may be charged for every 14 days past the initial 21 day

period.

NOTE: Buyers from whom full remittance is received by the Friday

following the auction (by check or wire transfer only) will receive a 1%

credit to apply toward purchases in the next auction. The credit does

not carry forward beyond the next auction, and it is not transferable.

BIDDERS WHO ARE LICENSEESLicensees who intend to bid should provide well in advance of the auction

a photocopy of the license issued by their state’s liquor authority. Licens-

ees within the state of Illinois should also provide us with their Illinois

Business Tax Number. Provided this information has been supplied to

HDH prior to the auction, within three business days of the auction the

successful bids for licensees will be routed through a properly licensed

Illinois wholesaler, who will charge the buyer applicable taxes and gal-

lonage fees. Payment by credit card is prohibited for Licensee invoices.

TAXATIONAt all times, taxation is determined by point of delivery. We are required

by law to collect the appropriate state and local taxes from purchasers,

unless the purchase is deemed to be non-taxable. All conclusions as

to taxation are to be determined by Hart Davis Hart Wine Co. in its sole

discretion. All non-taxable transactions must be completely docu-

mented prior to release of purchases. Those licensed to sell alcoholic

beverages may submit their sales tax number and proceed with being

invoiced through our designated Illinois wholesaler.

CONDITIONS OF SALE

The property described in this catalog will be offered at public auc-

tion by Hart Davis Hart Wine Co. (HDH Wine Co.) as agent for various

consignors (Sellers), under the following ”Conditions of Sale” together

with the “Procedures for Bidding & Payment” and “Collection, Delivery

& Storage” sections in this catalog. They may be amended by posted

notices or oral announcements made during the sale. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these terms for this and all future HDH auctions.

1) HDH Wine Co. has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse

admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to

reject any bid.

2) A potential buyer must complete and sign a registration form and

provide identifi cation before bidding. We may require bank or other

fi nancial references.

3) When making a bid, the bidder accepts personal liability to pay

the purchase price, including Buyer’s Premium and all applicable

charges. Exceptions include a bidder acting as an agent on behalf

of an identifi ed third party accepted by HDH Wine Co. If such a case

should arise, an explicit agreement will be made, in writing, with

HDH Wine Co. before the commencement of the sale and HDH Wine

Co. will only look to the principal for payment.

4) Every attempt has been made to describe all property as accurately

as possible. However, HDH Wine Co. and Seller do not warrant or

represent, and deny responsibility for, the accuracy of catalog de-

scriptions, encompassing but not limited to vintage, provenance, au-

thenticity, quality and condition as may be stated in the catalog. Any

and all statements made relating to the property in the catalog or

salesroom or contained in advertisements or promotional materials

are merely statements of opinion and can at no time be construed as

warranties or representations of fact or assumptions of any liability

on the part of HDH Wine Co. or Seller.

5) The Buyer accepts all purchases “as is.”

6) The term “fi nal bid” as used herein shall refer to the price at which

any lot is knocked down to the Buyer. The purchase price, due from

the Buyer, shall be the aggregate of the fi nal bid and a premium of

19.5% of the fi nal bid, together with any applicable sales or use tax.

The complete purchase price will be due upon receipt of the invoice.

If payment in good cleared funds is not received within 21 days of the

purchase, HDH Wine Co. reserves the right to assess a late charge

of up to 3% of the total purchase price, in addition to any other rights

and remedies available by law to HDH Wine Co., and additional 3%

late charges every two weeks following day 21. No property will be

released to the Buyer until HDH Wine Co. receives payment in full

for all open invoices, including any applicable state and local taxes

or compensating use taxes of another state which HDH Wine Co.

may be required by law to collect. Any applicable storage or handling

charges must also be received prior to the release of the property.

In the event a charge or check is not accepted by the appropriate

fi nancial institution, the buyer remains liable for all amounts owed

on the dates due.

7) If the buyer fails to make payment in full in good cleared funds within

the time required by paragraph 6 above, they will be in default and


we shall be entitled in our absolute discretion to exercise one or

more of the following rights or remedies (in addition to any other

rights or remedies available to us by law):

i) to cancel the sale;

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 permit-

ted under applicable law;

iii) to resell the property publicly or privately on such terms as

we see fi t;

iv) to pay the seller an amount up to the net proceeds payable

in relation to the amount bid by the defaulting buyer;

v) to use against any amounts which we may owe the buyer in

any other transactions, the outstanding amount remaining

unpaid by the buyer;

vi) where several amounts are owed by the buyer to us, in

respect to 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;

vii) to reject at any future auction bids made by or on behalf of

the buyer, or to obtain a deposit from the buyer before ac-

cepting any bids;

viii) to exercise all rights and remedies of a person holding

security over any property in our possession owned by the

buyer to the fullest extent permitted to the secured party by

the law under the Uniform Commercial Code in the State of

Illinois.

ix) to charge any credit card on fi le for the invoice balance

including any late charges.

If we resell the property under paragraph (iii) above, the defaulting buyer

shall be liable for payment of any defi ciency between the total amount

originally due to us and the price obtained upon resale as well as for all

costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and commissions and premiums,

whatever kind associated with both sales or otherwise arising from the

default. If we pay any amount to the seller under paragraph (iv) above,

the buyer acknowledges that HDH Wine Co. shall have all of the rights of

the seller, however arising, to pursue the buyer for such amount.

8) HDH Wine Co.’s Shipping Policy is as follows:

i) buyer acknowledges that title to wines purchased passes to

the buyer at the time of purchase or at the hammer. Further,

the buyer authorizes HDH Wine Co. to choose a common

carrier on behalf of the buyer which will act as the buyer

agent;

ii) buyer acknowledges and agrees to be responsible for all ap-

plicable excise, use and sales taxes due to the state related

to the purchase of these wines;

iii) buyer warrants that he/she is at least 21 years of age and is

purchasing the wines for personal use;

iv) buyer shall be responsible for the receipt of these wines by

a person at least 21 years of age or over.

9) HDH Wine Co. reserves the right to amend the description of any lot

by means of an announcement or notice in the salesroom, and to

withdraw any lot at any time.

10) Unless otherwise indicated, it may be that a reserve or confi dential

minimum selling price has been established on all lots. Should

bidding not meet the reserve price, HDH Wine Co. may enforce the

reserve by bidding on behalf of the Seller.

11) The highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer shall be the Buyer,

who will assume full risk and responsibility of the lot upon the fall

of the auctioneer’s gavel. The auctioneer may refuse any bid and

advance the bidding at his or her discretion. If, during the auction,

the auctioneer considers that any dispute has arisen between any

bidders, such dispute will be resolved by the auctioneer. The auc-

tioneer may determine to put up any lot for rebidding at any time

during the auction. In the event of any dispute during or after the

auction, the records of the auctioneer will be conclusive, and the

decision of HDH Wine Co. will be fi nal and binding on all parties.

12) Bids submitted to HDH Wine Co. are processed and executed as a

service and convenience to bidders. Neither HDH Wine Co. nor its

staff shall be responsible for any failure to execute such bids or

any error relating to same.

13) The rights and obligations of all parties shall be governed by the

laws of the State of Illinois.

COLLECTION, DELIVERY & STORAGE

LIMITS ON IMPORTATIONBuyers are cautioned that many states impose restrictions on the

quantity of alcoholic beverages purchased and brought into its juris-

diction by a Purchaser from another state. In some instances, special

permits or licenses may be required for the Purchaser or shipper. Hart

Davis Hart Wine Co. will not assume any obligation or responsibility for

applying for or obtaining permits or licenses.

SHIPPINGOur shipping policy is based on the following understanding with the

Bidder/Purchaser:

1) Bidder/Purchaser acknowledges that title to wines purchased

passes to the Bidder/Purchaser at time of purchase or at the ham-

mer. The Bidder/Purchaser authorizes Hart Davis Hart Wine Co. to

choose a common carrier on behalf of the Bidder/Purchaser which

will act as the Bidder/Purchaser’s agent.

2) Bidder/Purchaser acknowledges and agrees to be responsible for

all applicable excise, use and sales taxes due to their state or coun-

try related to the purchase of these wines.

3) Bidder/Purchaser warrants that he/she is at least 21 years of age

and is purchasing the wines for personal use.

4) Bidder/Purchaser shall be responsible for the shipment

of these wines being received by a person at least 21 years of age.

5) Bidder/Purchaser will be assessed a return/restocking fee should

the shipment be returned to HDH due to but not limited to the

following: no person at least 21 years of age at the address; the ad-

dress provided is not valid; the shipment is refused by the recipient.

Orders can usually be processed and prepared for shipment within 48

hours of receipt of payment and any applicable taxes or permits. Orders

exceeding 250 necks will require additional processing time. Prior to

shipment, HDH will notify the Purchaser of a proposed ship date. If a ship

date has not been established by HDH, the order will remain in storage

until the next ship date becomes available. If an expedited ship date or

special instructions are required, the Purchaser must contact HDH to

schedule such arrangements. It is recommended that Purchasers collect

their wines whenever feasible, as commercial shipment can be risky,

especially in the case of older and more fragile wines.

INSURANCEInsurance will be provided for all shipments arranged by and billed to

HDH. This insurance will solely cover breakage or loss from time of

purchase to time of delivery.

Neither Hart Davis Hart Wine Co. nor its agents assume responsibility

for any deterioration resulting from shipment, which includes, but is

not limited to: scuffed labels, cracked wax capsules or minor seepage.

The insurance provided by HDH will only cover shipments billed to

HDH. Wines being shipped on Purchaser’s or agents of Purchaser’s

accounts will only be covered by HDH’s insurance policy until they


leave the HDH warehouse, not while in transit. Due to the fragile

nature of vintage wine, HDH strongly recommends that Purchasers

arrange for collection from HDH. All shipments arranged by HDH are

made on the buyer’s behalf.

Wines must be inspected by the Purchaser upon receipt and any loss

or breakage must be noted on the Shipper’s documents at the time of

delivery. If HDH is not notifi ed of any breakage or loss claims within 24

hours of delivery, the claim will not be honored.

If the buyer or an agent of the buyer will not be able to receive and

inspect the shipment upon delivery, the shipment should be scheduled

for another date. If the loss or breakage is not noted on the Shipper’s

documents and if HDH is not notifi ed of a claim of loss or breakage

within 24 hours of delivery, the claim will not be honored.

Should this insurance coverage not be desired, a written waiver of insur-

ance and any subsequent claims must be received prior to the shipment

of the wines. Without insurance, loss or damage due to any cause will be

at the Purchaser’s risk.

WEATHER WATCHTransporting wine in extreme weather conditions and temperatures,

even by Overnight service, may seriously damage wines. We defi ne

these as temperature readings or predicted temperatures of greater

than 80 degrees or less than 20 degrees Fahrenheit. HDH performs

regular weather checks prior to shipment. These checks confi rm

appropriate temperatures will be held at the point of origin, along the

probable route, and at the fi nal destination.

During periods of extreme weather we strongly advise against trans-

port by any means. During these times we are pleased to provide com-

plimentary short-term storage until better conditions prevail. We refer

to this type of hold as a Weather Watch; if your order is placed during

a Weather Watch period, it will not be scheduled for shipment until the

end of the moratorium. If you wish to ship regardless of weather con-

ditions, we ask that you contact the shipping department to arrange

shipment of your purchase and that you agree to a Weather Waiver,

releasing HDH from any liability from weather related damage. Once

we have received your Weather Waiver, your shipment will be sent on

the agreed scheduled date, regardless of the weather conditions or

temperatures. Should a Weather Watch moratorium arise during a

previously scheduled shipment date, HDH will contact you via email to

arrange an alternative shipping date.

PACKINGAt times we may be required to re-pack wines which are in their

original wooden cases. OWCs, when listed as part of the lot, will auto-

matically be shipped unless you instruct us otherwise. A $10 per OWC

fee may be applied to shipping charges which require re-packing into

shipping boxes. OWCs may ship separately via Ground Service. When

providing shipping instructions, buyers should specify that they do not

want the OWCs if that is their preference.

COLLECTION OF PURCHASESAll wines are stored in our temperature and humidity-controlled cellar in

downtown Chicago. Once full payment has been received, wines may be

collected from our dock with 48 hours advance notice. We are located at

363 West Erie (one block west of Orleans) and our hours of operation are

Monday-Friday 9:00am to 7pm. To schedule collection of your wine please

contact our Shipping Manager, Jennifer Marshall, at 312.573.5598.

STORAGEWe offer complimentary storage in our temperature and humidity-con-

trolled facilities for 60 days after the date of auction. Should a Buyer’s

wine remain in HDH’s cellar for a period longer than 60 days, a holding

fee of $12.00 per nine-liter equivalent per quarter year will be charged.

The 60-day complimentary storage does not include weather watch

days, but will not exceed one year.

Green Shipping at HDH:Help Keep Styrofoam Out Of Our Landfi lls

At HDH we are proud to introduce our Green Shipping Program. Select Green Shipping with your order and we will send your wine packaged in one of our re-usable Green Shippers instead of in Styrofoam. Not only is this easy to do, but it also signifi cantly decreases the impact of waste packaging on the environment: Each case shipped through our Green Shipping program keeps a pound of Styrofoam from si ng in a landfi ll!

The Environmental Impact of Using Styrofoam to Ship Wine is Staggering:

• Styrofoam does not biodegrade

• 2.3 milion tons of it are put in landfi lls each year; styrofoam comprises 30% of the world’s landfi lls

• Styrofoam is produced by processing petroleum, which produces harmful carcinogins

• Each Box used to ship wine contains up to a pound of styrofoam

Our Reusable Green Shippers Signifi cantly Reduce this Impact:• They can be returned to HDH and reused more

than 80 mes: that’s 80 pounds of styrofoam!

• They are easy to use: each shipper comes with an enclosed UPS return label. Just affi x the label and drop the box off at your local offi ce or store.

• They don’t cost anything extra: the deposit for the Green Shipper is credited back to your account when it is returned.

• They are extremely durable: Green Shippers are designed specifi cally for the transport of fi ne wine.

We at HDH are very proud of our green shipping ini a ve. Thank you for suppor ng us in our eff orts to maintain environmentally responsible business prac ces.

Limitations on Importation:
