The Magnificent Cellar of Charlie Trotter’s

16 November 2012

Dear Clients,

What does it mean to call a restaurant iconic? Surely the quality of the cuisine is paramount and like-wise a certain high standing in the public eye; such quality and care must also extend to the service of wine and food and the general ambiance of the table. That being said, it’s something much more than the number of years in business, the brilliance of the silver or the perpetual impossibility of securing an 8 o’clock reservation. Rather, I would suggest that it’s more about the state of the industry before and after the restaurant came along. By this definition, there can hardly be many restaurants more iconic in America than Charlie Trotter’s in Chicago. Few kitchens have been the proving ground of more success-ful talents; few wine cellars have held more classic rarities side by side with tomorrow’s rising stars; few restaurants have more agreeably changed the way Americans think about food and wine.

Shortly after opening in 1987 the Chicago Tribune declared Trotter’s “…the long-awaited return of civility to the Chicago dining scene.” Civility would reign at 816 West Armitage for the next twenty-five years, changing and evolving into one of the most respected dining destinations in the United States. Charlie Trotter’s is itself a story of evolution and refinement in response to the challenge of how to learn from what you have done and make it better, new again, fresh and perpetually timely and relevant. As the kitchen is to the chef, the wine list is the sommelier’s toolbox, and no sommelier in American found himself better equipped to change the way we drink than Larry Stone, M.S. The relationship forged between the kitchen and cellar would be nothing short of revolutionary: a true collaboration between sommelier and chef with the goal of the best possible harmony for guests of the restaurant. A truly original wine program, including the sommeliers that maintain it, has the potential to change the way the public thinks about wine, both through food and wine pairings and the introduction of new producers and the correct service of the classics.

All good things…or so the saying goes; the final plates were served at Trotter’s at the end of August this year. But the influence of twenty-five years of unique talents in collaboration will continue to be felt throughout the restaurant industry and beyond for a long time to come. We salute those professionals and their tremendous achievements and lasting influence. It is therefore our distinct pleasure to offer the following selection of the finest wines from the Magnificent Cellar of Charlie Trotter’s, to be followed by a companion Online-Only Auction of more fine and rare wines from November 20th through December 4th.

Sincerely,Per HolmbergHead of Department

Château Pavie—Vintage 1998

Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé

“The 1998 Pavie was surprisingly fresh, with a ripe,

young, elegant currant fruit character on the nose.

Admittedly, there was still a bit of French oak that needs

to be resolved, but all in all, the wine shows admirable

restraint, elegance and balance. The texture on the palate

is harmonious, with a balanced extraction and no hint of

the heaviness of some recent vintages. Really very good.”

“The 1996 Dom Pérignon was showing extremely well.

The wine is still very youthful, but starting to open up

nicely. On the nose there were the soft floral and brioche

aromas that characterizes the best of Dom Pérignon, a

fresh, lemony fruit, and a smoky complexity. On the

palate the texture is very fine and the wine is showing a

very nice evolution certainly not mature, but beginning

to open up well. This is the greatest recent vintage of

Dom Pérignon, and properly stored it will last for decades

to come.” Dinner with friends in New Jersey, CC, July

“A ‘76 Oenothèque at a recent dinner was a spectacular

success, with a nose that hinted of fresh black truffle, a bit

of caramel, and a hint of smoke and buttered toast. On

the palate there was a creamy texture enlivened by a still

vibrant fresh acidity. Mature, but not overly so - fantastic

fizz.” Dinner with friends on Nantucket, CC, July 2010 2

“A taste of the newly released 96 Oenothèque shows

all of the charm of the ‘96 vintage the fresh white

flowers, the bright citrus and peach aromas and the hint

of minerality softened slightly and lengthened by the

extended aging. 1996 is one of the great champagnes of

our lifetime, and this is one of the great wines of this

vintage. The best of all possible world, perhaps, will be

when this vintage of DPO has fifteen years on the cork.

Lets revisit in ‘26!” A dinner with friends in Hong Kong,

CC, November 2011.

CHAMPAGNE TO START

Krug—Vintage 1988

Reims

“The 1988 Krug was very lemony, minerally and fresh on

the nose, showing fairly little development. On the palate

the wine was dense and highly structured. With time in

the glass, the bouquet developed: first smoky aromas, then

tropical fruit notes such as guava and passion fruit, and

finally ground coffee. Astonishingly good.” CC, January

Château Lafleur—Vintage 1995

Pomerol

“The ‘95 Lafleur is an appealingly exotic wine, with

its ripe plum and blackberry fruit colored with a

pronounced savory note, hints of earth, truflle gunsmoke

and Havana cigar. On the palate the wine is round and

dense, with firm tannins, great balance and wonderful

length. Nuanced and complex, this is Pomerol for the

connoisseur from a vintage that is approachable now but

should age well for years to come. Undeniably one of the

greats.” At the Hyundai Black Card event in Seoul, CC,

Very pleasant.” At a Commanderie de Bordeaux dinner,

Another star orbiting in Jean-Pierre Mouiexs sky,

Château Trotanoy has been a prominent Pomerol estate

since 1953. Only one short kilometer from Pétrus, the

8 hectares sit proudly on a high plateau overlooking the

village church. 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc

are planted on the clay and gravel soil, with grapes hand

harvested and fermented in small concrete vats. It is

bottled unfiltered after its maturation in a mixture of new

and old barriques for 18-20 months.

Sherry Lehman/Sotheby’s, four imported by Atherton Wine

Imports

“Initially restrained but perfectly evolved by the early

1990s. Very sweet, tobacco-like Graves flavour and a

perfect elliptical shape. More recently, more intense than

the Château Haut-Brion, tinged with cherry red; more

scented too, ‘earthy’, ‘cheese rind’, ‘singed tobacco’,

‘pebbly’, its crispy fruit opening up richly; more astringent

than the Haut-Brion, crisper fruit, more aggressive, with

excellent tannin and acidity.” MB, June 2000, *****

Scuffed capsules

“A highlight of a recent dinner, the ‘96 Lafite was a

powerful wine in the first blush of youth, showing

youthful red berry fruit with a lashing of oak but also a

spicy, earthy side. On the palate there are firm tannins

and incredible density.” Wonderful! At a client dinner in

Tokyo. CC, May 2010

capsules, one slight signs of old seepage, bin soiled labels, two with

“This bottle was the perfect riposte to those who

denigrate the work of Lafite in this vintage. The wine had

a hugely complex nose with hints of fresh blackcurrant,

fig, cedar, smoke, allspice and a wonderful floral note.

On the palate the wine has a marvelous texture: vibrant

and fresh, yet still powerful, deep and long. Really a very

good bottle indeed. A wine that still definitely warrants

further cellaring if you can possibly wait.” At a Christie’s

“This wine shows a very dark color and a very closed

ripeness, mouthfilling texture, and ripe tannins on the

palate. Very good length.” CC, April 2004

“Surprisingly youthful, this wine shows curranty, ripe

red fruits with an appropriate cedar/lead pencil/black

truffle character from long cellaring. On the palate the

wine is still firm but very velvety and expressive as well,

with a penetratingly long finish that shows all the subtle

complexity to great advantage. Monumental wine.” CC,

Pessac-Léognan, 1er cru classé

“An expressive nose showing black and red berry fruit

with a spicy character, typical mineral-earth element, and

a well-integrated oak component. On the palate the wine

is medium to full in body with a firm tannic structure.

The wine is more generous than above, however and

enlivened by crisp acidity. On the palate the fruit is very

ripe. The finish is long. The blend for the Haut Brion

was 60% Merlot, and the wine was aged in 75% new oak

barrels.” CC, July 2000

“At a recent dinner, the ‘95 Haut-Brion was charming

and immensely likeable, with perfumed nose still giving

a sense of very youthful red berry fruits a bit of oak, and

the beginnings of some cedary complexity. On the palate

the wine had a silken texture yet was still tannic and firm,

with impressive length.” At a dinner organized by the

GAJA

Piedmont’s famed Gaja estate was founded in 1859 and

is currently led by fourth generation winemaker Angelo

Gaja. After joining the winery in 1961 he has been a

driving force behind many of the estates changes and

innovations. Always motivated by the pursuit of quality

one key innovation was the decision to bottle his Sorì

San Lorenzo holding seprately for the first time in 1967,

closely followed by Sorì Tildìn in 1970 and finally Costa

Russi in 1978.

“Massive wine, with a rich blackberry/raspberry fruit

character with notes of spearmint and black pepper on the

nose. On the palate the wine was dense and rich, with

firm but supple tannins and great length. In spite of the

profusion of fruit on the nose, the wine on the palate

was classical and fine, with structure and elegance.” CC,

HARLAN ESTATE

Bill Harlan’s goal throughout the past quarter century has

remained constant: to create an American first growth

by expressing the genius of one particular site. With his

keen eye for real estate, Harlan identified a property near

the town of Oakville that had never been planted, and

purchased the 23-acre nucleus of this property in 1984.

Additional purchases and land trades eventually increased

the total to 240 acres that reach an elevation of 1225 feet.

Harlan Estate vineyards, however, are limited to a steeply

terraced band between 350-550 feet elevation in order

to keep the grapes cool. Being a perfectionist, Harlan

and his team (the formidable duo of winemaker Robert

Levy and consulting oenologist Michel Rolland) rejected

two vintages as unworthy before deciding to release the

300 case production of the 1990 vintage. Since this time,

production has climbed, but still hovers at just 1,800-

2,000 cases per vintage. All truly great wines have an

essential nature that is difficult to pin down, since one of

their common characteristics is great complexity. Stand-

out vintages offered here include the 1991, 1997, and

2002.

was silken and fresh. With time in the glass, however, it

took on weight and showed a more typical density and

weight.” At Maison Pourcel in Shanghai, CC, September

Kracher, Grand Cuvée, Trockenbeerenauslese #7, Nouvelle Vague —Vintage 2005Neusiedlersee

Signed by Gerhard Kracher in 2008

“The Chardonnay-Welschriesling blend 2005 #7 Grande

Cuvee Trockenbeerenauslese Nouvelle Vague offers

impressive aromatic complexity, suggesting brown-spiced

apple and quince jellies, glazed pineapple, dried apricots,

honey, musk, and truffle. Tactile spice and surprising

fresh fruit character derive contrast in the mouth from

creamy, oily textural richness and suggestions of nut

brittle and chocolate. This finishes with uncanny freshness

and lift for a wine so rich and nobly rotten. Look for a

good two decades of interesting evolution here.” David

Sine Qua Non, In Flagrante—Vintage 2000California

Signed bottle

“The 2000 In Flagrante (a 725-case blend of 86% Syrah,

10% Grenache, and 4% Viognier) is a world-class,

provocative effort. It reveals many of the same aromatic

and flavor components found in the 2001 Midnight

Oil and 2002 Syrah-dominated, unnamed offering.

A black color is followed by a seamless effort loaded

with blackberry, honey, and flower aromas, and an

extraordinarily long, concentrated finish. As with all great

wines, tasting notes/descriptors just cant do it justice.

Among the recent SQN Syrahs, it is a strikingly elegant

and powerful wine that has a decidedly French flair to it.”

“99 La Tâche was an amazing wine, with a pronounced

and forceful richly fruity nose of spiced dark fruit and

cassis, almost molasses, with licorice, pepper and violet

notes and an undercurrent of new leather and black

truffle, essentially without any development or secondary

notes. On the palate the wine was dense and rich, with

firm tannins, lots of extract and a firm, classical structure

that is years away from opening up. Best not to open

for at least another decade if you can wait. Stupendous

wine.” In Dijon, CC, January 2012

“An exquisiste bottle of 1997 Cros Parantoux showed

profuse and complex aromas that ranged from black plum

and fig to truffle, licorice, and a crazy, almost animal sort

of funky, sauvage aroma. Brett? I’m sure, but sublime

nonetheless. On the palate the wine was very rich, with a

dense yet silky texture, firm tannins, balanced acidity, and

great length. Exhilerating.” CC, September 2012

HENRI JAYER

Wines produced from his small 6.30 hectare Domaine,

based in and around Vosne-Romanée are arguably

some of the finest wines ever produced in Burgundy,

including the legendary Richebourg, Echézeaux, and

Cros Parantoux. The Domaine included holdings in

Echézeaux, Richebourg and also vineyards in three

Premier Cru sites Les Brûlées, Les Beaumonts and Cros

Parantoux in Vosne-Romane. Jayer wines are superbly

concentrated, extraordinarily complex, harmonious and

seductive and have achieved a cult following amongst

Burgundy lovers. They are very highly sought after with

high prices to match. Jayer was a pioneer and firmly

believed that care in the vineyard was fundamental to

producing fine Burgundy. Treatments were kept to a

minimum and there was a rigorous selection of grapes

eliminating any sub-standard fruit. Yields were kept very

low. Only natural yeasts were used for the fermentation

which added complexity and individuality to the wines.

A pre-fermentation cold maceration by reducing the vat

temperature to 15 degrees for four or five days was used

to extract additional colour and flavours. The majority of

the wines were aged in new Tronais oak barrels. As few

rackings as possible and no filtration ensured that all of

the subtle nuances, complexity and concentration were

preserved. Sadly, Henri Jayer, died on 20th September

2006, however his work continues to inspire many young

Burgundy growers.

DOMAINE LEROY

Domaine Leroy is the creation of one of the most

determined, dynamic and passionate Burgundians,

Madame Lalou Bize-Leroy. For many years co-director

of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, she created her

own Domaine from 1988, with purchases of Richebourg,

Chambertin, Romanée-Saint-Vivant and a further 50

acres of Burgundy’s greatest terroirs. She rapidly pioneered

cultivating her vineyards organically and bio-dynamically.

She championed low yields and a ruthless pursuit of the

highest quality. American wine lovers were the first to

recognise and embrace her wines, and the greatest of her

bottlings have consistently come to the finest collections

in the USA. The wines come from some of Burgundy’s

rarest, greatest localities. They have saturated, purple-

garnet colours in youth, and are striking for the crystal

clarity of their expression of Pinot Noir aromas. Red fruits

mingle with spiciness, clean earth, forest floor, liquorice -

in tumbling complexities, as the wines evolve with bottle-

age. On the palate, there is structure without excess, dense

fruit, purity of expression, subtle management of tannins

and extraordinary length of flavour. From a standing

start a mere 15 years ago, this Domaine was immediately

able to command prices alongside the most legendary of

Burgundy’s bottlings. The consistency of Madame Bize-

Leroy’s wine-making throughout this recent, Golden

Decade for Burgundy, has been exceptional. A.H.

“Produced from a crop that yielded merely 13 - 14 hl/ha,

this wine was fairly light in color, yet very expressive on

the nose. The first hint of evolution is beginning to show,

with vague aromas of mineral, game and truffle beginning

to color the joyful red berry fruit character. On the palate

the tannins are silken and the balance is very elegant.

“The 99 Leroy Clos de Vougeot was the Burgundy of

the night, albeit far from ready to drink. The nose shows

a youthful very ripe black cherry and cassis fruit character

and hints of licorice, five spice powder and ginger on

the nose along with a rich, dense texture on the palate,

plenty of tannins and an impressive amount of extract.

Somewhat hard at present, this has the substance to

age into a truly spectacular wine.” At Mark Taylors in

“Superb. An intense vinous experience, the 99 Coche

Corton Charlemagne showed a profound mineral magic

on the nose with notes of candid lemon peel, papaya

and still a bit of wood. On the palate the wine was

unbelievably concentrated and powerful, with a dense

texture, firm acidity and exquisite length. Drinking well

now, this will be even better ten years from now, and will

probably last another thirty.” At a friend’s birthday party

impossibly youthful. The nose shows spice and citrus

with a current of minerality that is astonishing. On the

palate the wine was toothsome and rich, still very young,

but full of promise.” At La Paulée de New York, CC,

February 2011

“Perhaps the best bottle of Lafon Perrières I have ever

had, this showed classic, elegant restrain on the nose with

a lemony drop fruit finely accented with notes of mineral

and just a hint of butter, fresh cream and spice. At this

stage the wood and winemaking influences were very

well integrated, yet the wine wasnt really showing many

mature aromas yet a very nice point in its evolution. On

the palate the wine had a silken texture, a lovely density,

and a fine, elegant balance. Very impressive.” Dinner at

Bâtard-Montrachet—Vintage 1990

“The 1990 Ramonet Bâtard at a recent dinner was really

almost shockingly fresh, still showing a bit of wood at

the beginning and leading with a bright, lemony fruit

character. With time in the glass it opened up, still

showing a lively, lemony acidity, but revealing a dense,

waxy texture and a solid, strong finish.” Dinner with

“The wine of the night at a recent dinner, the 89

Ramonet Montrachet showed a stupendous array of

ripe tropical fruit, honey and butter with a hint of

bees wax and roasted hazelnut. On the palate the wine

had an almost red wine-like in texture size massive

and powerful, yet brightened by very fresh acidity and

wonderful balance, leading on to an amazingly long

finish. Vivid, youthful, absolutely unforgettable.” Dinner

RAMONET

The continued success of Ramonet is due to the team

work of brothers of Noel in the cellar and Jean-Claude

in the vineyard. Grape bunches are partially de-stemmed,

briefly cold soaked in cement and macerated for ten

days. The juice is generally aged in one third new

barrels, in either Alliers or Vosges oak depending on

the vineyards needs. Light fining in bentonite lends a

distinctive spearmint quality that highlights the minerality

of the wines. Muscular, full bodied concentrated wines,

capable of being aged for a long time and Ramonet

arguably take their Bâtard Montrachet, a smoky, oily, and

expressive wine, to heights close to the brightly lit sun

of Montrachet. Among the premier crus, the Ruchottes

often stands out with honey suckle, white truffle, spiciness

and outstanding length.

OPTIONS TO BUY PARCELSA parcel, as denoted in the catalogue, is a sequence of lots carrying the same estimates and consisting of the same type of wine, quantity and bottle size.In the sale, the buyer of the first lot of a parcel of wine will have, at the discretion of the auctioneer, the option to take any or all further lots in the parcel for the same hammer price.If the option is not exercised on all lots in the same parcel, the auctioneer will open bidding on the next unsold lot and offer the buyer of that lot the option to take any or all of the remaining lots in the parcel sequence.Absentee bids submitted on any lot in a parcel will, if unsuccessful, be placed on successive lots in the parcel until such bid is successful or the parcel has ended.Bidding shall continue in the same manner until all lots in the parcel have been offered and declared sold or unsold by the auctioneer.

CLASSIFICATIONSClassifications in the text are for identification purposes only and are based on the official 1855 classification of the Médoc and other standard sourcesAll wines are bottled by the producer (Château or estate owner) unless otherwise indicated by the initials Bordeaux Bottled BB and English Bottled EB.

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.

Important Notices and Explanation of

Cataloguing Practice

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. Such property is identified in the catalogue with the symbol º next to the lot number. This symbol will be used both in cases where Christie’s holds the financial interest on its own, and in cases where Christie’s has financed all or part of such interest through third parties. 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. 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. 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 at the front of the catalogue.In this catalogue, if property has º u next to the lot number, Christie’s guarantee of a minimum price has been fully financed through third parties.

ALL DIMENSIONS ARE APPROXIMATE

CONDITION REPORTSChristie’s catalogues include references to condition only in descriptions of multiple works (such as prints, books and wine). Please contact the Specialist Department for a condition report on a particular lot. Condition reports are provided as a service to interested clients. Prospective buyers should note that descriptions of property are not warranties and that each lot is sold “as is.”

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 familiarize 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. For example, the U.S. generally prohibits the importation of articles containing species that it has designated as endangered or threatened if those articles are less than 100 years old. 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.

Level/Ullage Descriptions and Interpretations(see notes below)

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 a wine 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 natural reduction through the easing of the cork and evaporation through cork and 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.

BOTTLE SIZESmagnum = two regular bottles

marie-jeanne = three regular bottles

double-magnum = four regular bottles

jeroboam = four regular bottles (Burgundy, Champagne)

jeroboam = six regular bottles (Bordeaux) (or 5 litres)

impériale = eight regular bottles

(Bordeaux)

methuselah = eight regular bottles

(Burgundy)

SPECIAL NOTICEThough every effort is made to describe or measure the levels of older vintages, corks over twenty 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 older than twenty years. Additionally all wine younger than twenty years have levels bottom neck/2.5cm or better unless otherwise noted.

Buying at Christie’s

CONDITIONS OF SALEBidders are strongly encouraged to read the Conditions of Sale contained in this catalogue that state the terms governing the purchase of all property sold at auction and the conditions upon which Christie’s and NYWines guarantees the authenticity of property offered for sale.

ESTIMATES Catalogue entries include descriptions for every lot and a price range that is our specialists’ opinion of the price expected at auction. Estimates are based upon prices recently paid at auction for comparable property and take into account condition, rarity, quality and provenance (history of previous ownership). Estimates are prepared well in advance of the sale and are subject to revision. Buyers should not rely upon estimates as a representation or prediction of actual selling prices. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or sales tax. Where “Estimate on Request” appears, please contact the Specialist Department for further information.

RESERVESUnless otherwise indicated, all lots in this catalogue are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is the confidential minimum price the consignor will accept and below which a lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate. Lots that are not subject to a reserve are identified by the symbol • next to the lot number.

BUYER’S PREMIUM FOR WINEChristie’s charges a premium to the buyer on the final bid price of each lot of wine sold at the following rates: 21% of the final bid price of each lot.For all lots, taxes are payable on the premium at the applicable rate.

PRE-AUCTION VIEWINGPre-auction viewings are open to the public and free of charge. Christie’s specialists are available to give advice at viewings or by appointment. We encourage prospective buyers to examine lots thoroughly and to request condition reports.Exceptions: Wine: All viewings are by appointment only. To make arrangements please contact the Wine Department

BIDDER REGISTRATIONProspective buyers should register for a numbered bidding paddle at least 30 minutes before the sale. New clients, or those who have not made a recent purchase at Christie’s, will be asked to supply a bank reference to register. To avoid any delay in the release of purchases, please pre-arrange check or credit approval through Christie’s Credit Department at +1 212 636 2490 or by fax at +1 212 636 4943.

BIDDINGThe auctioneer accepts bids from those present in the saleroom, from telephone bidders or by absentee written bids left with Christie’s in advance of the auction. The auctioneer may also execute bids on behalf of the consignor up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by entering bids in response to saleroom, telephone, and/or absentee bids. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor at or above the reserve. Please note New York State law requires that buyers of alcoholic beverages must be at least 21 years of age.

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 and other bids. If identical bids are received from two or more parties, the first bid received by Christie’s will take priority. 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 on www.christies.com.

TELEPHONE BIDSTelephone bids will be accepted for lots with low-end estimates of $1,500 and above, no later than 24 hours prior to the sale and only if the capacity of our pool of staff phone bidders allows. Arrangements to bid in languages other than English must be made well in advance of the sale date.

Telephone bids may be recorded. By bidding on the telephone, prospective purchasers consent to the recording of their conversations.

Christie’s offers all absentee and telephone bidding services as a convenience to our clients, but will not be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids.

BIDDING INCREMENTSBidding generally opens below the low estimate and advances in increments of up to 10%, subject to the auctioneer’s discretion.

Buyers should always check whether an export license is required before exporting. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import license. The denial of any license or any delay in obtaining licenses shall neither justify the rescission of any sale nor any delay in making full payment for the lot.Local laws may prohibit the import of some property and/or may prohibit the resale of some property in the country of importation, no such restriction shall justify the rescission of any sale or delay in making full payment for the lot.

These Conditions of Sale and the Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice contain all the terms on which Christie’s, NYWines and the seller contract with the buyer. 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.

1. CHRISTIE’S AND NYWINES AS AGENT

Except as otherwise stated Christie’s and NYWines acts as agent for the seller. The contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the seller and the buyer.

2. BEFORE THE SALE

(a) Examination of propertyProspective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any property in which they are interested, before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request. Neither Christie’s, NYWines nor the seller provides any guarantee in relation to the nature of the property. The property is sold “as is.”

(b) Catalogue and other descriptionsOur cataloguing practice is explained in the Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice after the catalogue entries. All statements by us in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied on as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by us of any kind. References in the catalogue entry or the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. 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. Except as set forth in paragraph 6 below, neither Christie’s, NYWines nor the seller is responsible in any way for errors and omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material.(c) Buyer’s responsibilityAll property is sold “as is” without any representation or warranty of any kind by Christie’s, NYWines or the seller. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue entry.

3. AT THE SALE

(a) Refusal of admissionChristie’s and NYWines have 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 biddingProspective 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. A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require the production of bank or other financial references.

(c) Bidding as principalWhen 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 bidsWe 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 we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with it.

(e) Telephone bidsTelephone bids will be accepted for lots with low-end estimates of $1,500 and above, no later than 24 hours prior to the sale and only if the capacity of our pool of staff phone bidders allows. Arrangements to bid in languages other than English must be made well in advance of the sale date.Telephone bids may be recorded. By bidding on the telephone, prospective purchasers consent to the recording of their conversations.Christie’s offers all absentee and telephone bidding services as a convenience to our clients, but will not be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids.

(f) Currency converterAt some auctions a currency converter may be operated. Errors may occur in the operation of the currency converter and 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 and we do not accept liability for such errors.

(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 • 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. 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.

(i) Auctioneer’s discretionThe auctioneer has the right at his absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and, in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive.

(j) Successful bid and passing of riskSubject to the auctioneer’s 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 premiumIn addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay to us the buyer’s premium together with any applicable value added tax, sales or compensating use tax or equivalent tax in the place of sale. The buyer’s premium for wine is 21% of the hammer price on each lot.

(b) Payment and passing of titleImmediately following the sale, the buyer must provide us with his or her name and permanent address and, if so requested, details of the bank from which payment will be made. The buyer must pay the full amount due (comprising the hammer price, buyer’s premium and any applicable taxes) not later than 4.30pm on the seventh calendar day following the sale. This applies even if the buyer wishes to export the lot and an export license 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.

(c) 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 satisfied such other terms as we, in our sole discretion, shall require. Subject to this, the buyer shall collect purchased lots within seven calendar days from the date of the sale unless otherwise agreed between us and the buyer.

(d) Packing, handling and shippingAlthough we shall use reasonable efforts to take care when handling, packing and shipping a purchased lot, we are not responsible for the acts or omissions of third parties whom we might retain for these purposes. Similarly, where we may suggest other handlers, packers or carriers if so requested, we do not accept responsibility or liability for their acts or omissions.

Conditions of Sale for Wine

(e) Export licenseUnless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact that the buyer wishes to apply for an export license does not affect his or her obligation to make payment within seven days nor our right to charge interest or storage charges on late payment. 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 license is required.

(f) Remedies for non paymentIf the buyer fails to make payment in full in good cleared funds within the time required by paragraph 4(b) above, we shall be entitled in our absolute discretion to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies (in addition to asserting any other rights or remedies available to us by law):

(i) to charge interest at such rate as we shall reasonably decide;

(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 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.

(g) Failure to collect purchasesWhere purchases are not collected within seven 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, insurance and any other costs incurred, together with payment of all other amounts due to us.

5. EXTENT OF CHRISTIE’S AND NYWINES LIABILITY

Neither the seller, Christie’s, nor NYWines nor any of their officers, employees or agents, are responsible for the correctness of any statement of whatever kind concerning any lot, whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any lot. Except as stated below, neither the seller, Christie’s, nor NYWines, nor any of their officers, employees or agents, give any representation, warranty or guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in respect of any lot with regard to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, description, size, quality, condition, attribution, authenticity, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibition history, literature or historical relevance. Except as required by local law any warranty of any kind whatsoever is excluded by this paragraph. Notwithstanding any other terms of these Conditions of Sale, if within 30 days after the sale, Christie’s and NYWines have received from the original buyer of any property notice of a claim in writing that any lot is short or has suffered breakage, then Christie’s and NYWines in their sole discretion will decide any such claim as between the consignor and the buyer and may rescind the sale and refund the purchase price received.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 and NYWines when the lot was sold at auction.The original buyer must have remained the owner of the lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party.The buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against Christie’s, NYWines 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, NYWines nor the seller will be liable for any special, incidental or consequential damages including, without limitation, loss of profits nor for interest.

6. COPYRIGHT

The 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. SEVERABILITY

If 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 JURISDICTION

The 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 the jurisdiction in which the auction is held. 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 that country, state, county or province, and (if applicable) of the federal courts sitting in such state.

SPECIAL NOTICE

Though every effort is made to describe the wines in this catalogue and to describe or measure the levels of older vintages, buyers of old wines must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. Corks over 20 years old begin to lose their elasticity and levels can change between cataloging 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 a return be accepted or an adjustment of price or credit be made after delivery except under the terms stated in paragraph 5, above, of the Conditions of Sale.Unless otherwise stated, Bordeaux are château bottled.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 older than twenty years.

Please also refer to the information contained in Buying at Christie’s.I request Christie’s to bid on the following lots up to the maximum price I have indicated for each lot. I understand that if my bid is successful, the purchase price will be the sum of my final bid plus a buyer’s premium of 21% of the final bid price of each lot and any applicable state or local sales or use tax.I understand that Christie’s provides the service of executing absentee bids for the convenience of clients and that Christie’s is not responsible for failing to execute bids or for errors relating to execution of bids. On my behalf, Christie’s will try to purchase these lots for the lowest possible price, taking into account the reserve and other bids. 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. If identical absentee bids are received for the same lot, the written bid received first by Christie’s will take precedence.Telephone bids will be accepted for lots with low-end estimates of $1,500 and above, no later than 24 hours prior to the sale and only if the capacity of our pool of staff phone bidders allows. Arrangements to bid in languages other than English must be made well in advance of the sale date.Telephone bids may be recorded. By bidding on the telephone, prospective purchasers consent to the recording of their conversations.Christie’s offers all absentee and telephone bidding services as a convenience to our clients, but will not be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids.All bids are subject to the terms of the Conditions of Sale and Limited Warranty printed in each Christie’s catalogue.
