The team at HDH always looks forward to building the May auction – it reminds us that

spring really is coming! Our May 16 auction is here and bidders will not have far to look into

this catalog if they are searching for great wines to add to their cellars. This auction includes

a fantastic array of small, choice consignments. As always, the HDH team takes great care

to carefully inspect each consignment and include detailed descriptions for every lot. Almost

all of the offerings in this catalog represent longtime consignors who are continuing to thin

their cellars through Hart Davis Hart.

Bordeaux is once again the standout, with great selections of top modern vintages featured

throughout the day. The selection of classic vintages offered in quantity is also worth noting.

For the great 1982s, bidders should check lots 497-506 and lots 816-825, both collections

with a selection of First Growths. A regular consignor and good friend offers a nice group of

the 1989 vintage from his cold cellar, including the First Growths in original wood (lots 358-

366). The 1990 vintage was drinking beautifully at our Bordeaux tastings in California last

month and we have spoken with many who are again seeking these wines. Please note the

excellent selection available in lots 278-297 (anchored by the great Montrose), all offered in

original wood.

Burgundy collectors will also have signifi cant temptations to address. Those searching for

top wines from Rousseau, Ponsot and Vogüé will need to take some time with this catalog.

Parcels of the incredible Romanée-Conti also make an appearance, including those now

hard to fi nd 1978s (lots 523-525) and 1985s (lots 446, 466-468). You will fi nd great Burgundy

throughout, and should review the consignment in lots 595-674 from a long time friend of

HDH, parting with a selection of Vogüé. Also notable is the selection of white Burgundy in

lots 399-420 featuring many top producers and vintages for the table.

We hope that you will join us on May 16 in Chicago for the auction. Although you can always

send us your bids (via hdhwine.com, fax or telephone) we know that many clients will

make the trip for the auction and plan a Chicago weekend. Chicago will be buzzing as it

typically does in May – with a few special features including Shakespeare’s The Tempest at

Steppenwolf Theatre, the Cubs at Wrigley Field against the Astros and the opening weekend

for The Modern Wing – the stunning new addition to the Art Institute. As always, call on us if

we can assist with tickets or information.

We look forward to seeing you at Tru on May 16!

Warm regards,

Paul Hart

informed decision made by someone with a great deal of

expertise and passion in the subject of wine - specifi cally

the wines of the Cote d’Or. Commencing his collection

in 1973, most of the wines were acquired by the current

owner upon initial release. They have been stored in

a highly customized cellar which has maintained a

constant 53° F and 70% humidity. Given the pampered

care provided by the owner over the years, all wines are

of excellent general appearance. Most importantly, the

consignor has been a valued client and personal friend

to some of us for decades. We are indeed privileged.

A DIVERSE CELLAR OF THE HIGHEST PEDIGREE

FEATURING CLASSIC BORDEAUX, BURGUNDY

FROM TOP PRODUCERS, VINTAGE PORT, AND A

RANGE OF INTERESTING VERTICAL COLLECTIONS

Wines Removed from Long-Term and Undisturbed

Storage in a Temperature-Controlled Cellar that

Maintains 55° F and Very High Humidity

We are delighted to offer this very fi ne group which is the

remaining core of an amazing drinking cellar that some

of us helped the current owner put together 20-25 years

ago. The owner has always had a discriminating and

eclectic palate, and his goal was to amass a collection that

would enable him to enjoy truly great wines on a regular

basis. He certainly accomplished his goal, and the wines

continue to enrich his lifestyle. Featured are many of the

greatest Bordeaux produced in the fi nal two decades of

the 20th Century, and Burgundy from some of the most

celebrated estates and vintages. All wines were recently

removed from long term and undisturbed storage in a

customized home cellar with ideal temperature control

and very high humidity. Although the high humidity was a

huge benefi t to the health of the wines, it produced damp

staining on many of the labels.

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

LEVELS OF WINE

For Bordeaux, Port and other wines in bottles with defi ned shoulders the extent of ullage (or wine level in the bottle) is de-

scribed by its position in the bottle. Our interpretations are as follows:

NECK

The normal level of young wines

BN : Base neck level

Totally acceptable for any age of wine

TS : Top shoulder level

Normal level for wines 15-20 years old

VHS : Very high-shoulder level

Typical for any wine of 20 years of age or older

HS : High shoulder level

Natural reduction through the cork, usually acceptable

MS : Mid shoulder level

Typically due to some deterioration of the cork and therefore

some variation in overall condition of wine

LS : Low shoulder level

Risky, usually not accepted for sale

For Burgundy, German and other wines in bottles with sloping

necks the ullage is measured in centimeters from the base of

the cork.

BOTTLE SIZES

Half-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

PROCEDURES FOR

BIDDING & PAYMENT

CONDITIONS OF SALE

Bidders are strongly encouraged to read the Conditions of Sale

contained in this catalog that state the terms governing the

purchase of all property sold at auction.

BIDDER REGISTRATION

Bidders 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,

indentifi cation and a major credit card. Please contact Kelly

Aluise at 312.482.9649 or [email protected] to complete

the pre-registration process.

A Registration Desk will be staffed at Tru beginning one hour

prior to the beginning of the session until the completion of the

auction session. Major credit cards and/or driver’s licenses will

be required as identifi cation. Bidders must be at least 21 years

old and may be required to show proof of age. A valid credit

card must be presented with all bids. Bidding will be by paddle

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

DESCRIPTION OF WINE

To 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 has been carefully

inspected by our experts and described as accurately as pos-

sible at the time this catalog went to press. However, 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 judgment, to be in generally excel-

lent condition unless otherwise indicated. As outlined in the

Conditions of Sale, no returns will be accepted.

FORMAT OF CATALOG

Wines 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 NOTES

We have been given permission by several of the world’s lead-

ing wine critics to use their tasting notes in our catalogs. Due

to space limitations, the notes in the catalog have been edited.

The entire note, and notes from other critics (where available)

may be viewed by viewing the catalog via our website,

www.hdhwine.com.

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

based on 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.

BIDDING

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

is offered by lot. Occasionally, we offer the option of parcel

bidding for sequential identical lots. The option to offer parcel

bidding is at the sole discretion of the auctioneer. Bidding

increments are provided on the Absentee Bidding Form in the

back of the catalog. Consignors and their agents are strictly

forbidden from bidding on their own property.

ABSENTEE BIDDING

Those who wish to bid but are unable to attend the auction

are encouraged 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 duplicate

bids are received, the earliest bid takes precedence. Therefore

absentee bidders are urged to bid as early as possible.

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 references for all

bids, and may, at our discretion, perform credit card pre-autho-

rizations up to the total amount of your bids or request a por-

tion 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 bidding 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 BIDDING

Live 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 therefore we must be supplied a

telephone number where the bidder can be reached on the

day of the auction, along with an alternate telephone number.

Bidders are encouraged 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 accommo-

date all requests for this special service, there are a limited

number of telephones and staff members available.


LIVE ONLINE BIDDING

Live 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 fol-

lowed as per the above paragraph under “Bidder Registration.”

PLEASE NOTE: We offer bidding services at no charge, with

the understanding 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.

PAYMENT

Invoices are mailed or emailed to successful bidders by the

fi rst business day following the auction, except when the

buyer is a licensee, in which case their invoice will be routed

through a properly licensed Illinois wholesaler. Payment is

due upon receipt of the invoice. Remittance must be received

in U.S. dollars, and foreign checks are not allowed. We accept

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

direct debit via ACH initiation (please contact Kelly Aluise at

312.482.9649 to set up), as well as MasterCard, Visa and Dis-

cover. 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. By using a

credit card to make a payment for a purchase, a purchaser ir-

revocably waives any chargeback rights they might otherwise

have under their card holder agreement or otherwise.

Buyers wishing to pay for purchases via wire transfer should

direct funds to:

JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A.

Chicago, IL

Routing Number: 071 000 013

Swift Code: CHASUS33

Account#: 111-50-005-90296

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

Friday, May 2nd (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 LICENSEES

Licensees who intend to bid should provide well in advance of

the auction a photocopy of the license issued by their state’s

liquor authority. Licensees within the state of Illinois should

also provide us with their Illinois Business Tax Number. Pro-

vided this information has been supplied to HDH prior to the

auction, within three business days of the auction the success-

ful bids for licensees will be routed through a properly licensed

Illinois wholesaler, who will charge the buyer applicable taxes

and gallonage fees. Payment by credit card is prohibited for

Licensee invoices.

TAXATION

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

required by law to collect the appropriate state and local taxes

from purchasers who collect their lots in Chicago, 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 documented prior to release of purchases in one of

the following ways:

a) Those licensed to sell alcoholic beverages may submit their

sales tax number and proceed with being invoiced through

our designated Illinois wholesaler.

b) Out-of-state deliveries are non-taxable provided they are

made by carrier licensed by the Interstate Commerce

Commission.


COLLECTION, DELIVERY & STORAGE

LIMITS ON IMPORTATION

Bidders/Purchasers are cautioned that many states impose

restrictions on the quantity of alcoholic beverages which may

be purchased and brought into its jurisdiction 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 respon-

sibility for applying for or obtaining permits or licenses.

SHIPPING

Our shipping policy is based on the following understanding

with the Bidder/Purchaser:

1) Bidder/Purchaser acknowledges that title to wines pur-

chased passes to the Bidder/Purchaser at time of purchase

or at the hammer. 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/Pur-

chaser’s agent.

2) Bidder/Purchaser acknowledges and agrees to be respon-

sible for all applicable excise, use and sales taxes due their

state or country 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.

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 pro-

cessing 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 instruc-

tions 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.

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

responsibility for any deterioration resulting from shipment,

which includes, but is not limited to: scuffed labels, cracked wax

capsules or minor seepage. Insurance will be automatically pro-

vided at a nominal charge, which will cover solely breakage or

loss from time of purchase or at the hammer to time of delivery.

Wines must be inspected by the Purchaser upon receipt and any

loss or breakage must be noted on the Shipper’s documents.

Hart Davis Hart Wine Co. must be notifi ed of any breakage or

loss claims within 24 hours of delivery. Should this insurance

coverage not be desired, a written waiver of insurance 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. In most instances, once a shipment

is sent, you will receive an email from the carrier which provides

the tracking number and details of your shipment.

WEATHER WATCH

Transporting wine in extreme weather conditions and tem-

peratures, 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 tem-

peratures 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

transport of wines by any means. During these times we

are pleased to provide complimentary short-term storage

until better conditions prevail, we refer to this type of hold as

“Weather Watch”. If your shipment is placed on a “Weather

Watch” hold, you will be notifi ed via email before noon (Cen-

tral Time) on the scheduled date of your shipment. At this

time you may elect to sign a “Weather Waiver” which releases

HDH from any liability for weather related damage and your

shipment will be sent on the date scheduled, regardless of the

weather conditions or temperatures. If you do not respond,

HDH will automatically reschedule shipment within the next

one to two weeks. Should your shipment be subject to a

second “Weather Watch” you will again be notifi ed via email

before noon (Central Time). After this time your order will be

placed into our temperature controlled storage until the next

shipping season opens at which time you will be contacted

again or until you re-request shipment.

PACKING

At 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 automatically be shipped unless you instruct us other-

wise. 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 PURCHASES

All wines are stored in our temperature and humidity-con-

trolled 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 8:30am to 7pm. To schedule collection of your

wine please contact our Shipping Manager, Nick Pagoria, at

312.573.2550.

STORAGE

We offer complimentary storage in our temperature and hu-

midity-controlled facilities for 60 days after the date of the auc-

tion. Beyond that point a storage account is activated on behalf

of the buyer. Our storage fees are $4 per month per 9 liters

(twelve 750ml bottles equals 9 liters), inclusive of insurance.


CONDITIONS OF SALE

The property described in this catalog will be offered at public

auction by Hart Davis Hart Wine Co. (HDH Wine Co.) as agent

for various consignors (Sellers), under the following ”Condi-

tions 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 an-

nouncements made during the sale. By bidding at auction you

agree to be bound by these terms.

1) HDH Wine Co. have 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, a bidder is accepting personal liability to

pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium and

all applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in

writing with HDH Wine Co. before the commencement of the

sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identi-

fi ed third party acceptable to HDH Wine Co., and that 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 descriptions, encompassing but

not limited to vintage, provenance, authenticity, 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”. Notwithstanding

any other terms of these Conditions of Sale, should HDH

Wine Co. receive any written claims within 21 calendar days

of the auction that any property is with a shortage, ullaged

or otherwise out of condition, or that any statement in the

catalog is without bias, then HDH Wine Co. will deem such

dispute as between Seller and Buyer. HDH Wine Co. will

judge any claim through inspection of the property or by any

other just means, and may cancel the sale and refund the

purchase price. At all times the decision of HDH Wine Co.

will be fi nal and binding on all parties.

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 follow-

ing day 21. No property will be released to the Buyer until

HDH Wine Co. receives 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 ap-

propriate 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 avail-

able 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 recov-

ery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the

fullest extent permitted under applicable law;

iii) to resell the property publicly or privately on such

terms as we shall think fi t;

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

payable in relation to the amount bid by the default-

ing 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 any bids made by or

on behalf of the buyer or to obtain a deposit from the

buyer before accepting 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.


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, dam-

ages, 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) bidder acknowledges that title to wines purchased

passes to the bidder at the time of purchase or at the

hammer. Further, the bidder authorizes HDH Wine

Co. to choose a common carrier on behalf of the bid-

der which will act as the bidder’s agent;

ii) bidder acknowledges and agrees to be responsible

for all applicable excise, use and sales taxes due

their state related to the purchase of these wines;

iii) bidder warrants that he/she is at least 21 years of

age and is purchasing the wines for personal use;

iv) bidder shall be responsible for the shipment of these

wines being received 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 consid-

ers that any dispute has arisen between any bidders, such

dispute will be resolved by the auctioneer. The auctioneer

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 fail-

ure 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.

Château Brane-Cantenac Wine Maker Dinner

Tuesday, May 12, 2009

7:00pm Dinner

MK Restaurant

868 N Franklin St., Chicago, IL

$150 per person (All Inclusive)

Please join us for a very rare visit with Henri Lurton, proprietor

and wine maker at Château Brane-Cantenac. Chateau Brane-

Cantenac can trace its history to the 18th Century, and was

classifi ed a second-growth of the Margaux appellation in 1855.

Prior to World War I the wine commanded prices similar to those

of the fi rst-growths, and was widely considered the “First of the

Seconds” during that period. Mr. Lurton’s family has been linked to

the property since the 1920s. It is an honor to have him in Chicago

for this event and we hope you will join us on the special occasion.

Chef Michael Kornick will prepare a special dinner paired to four

outstanding recent vintages of Chateau Brane-Cantenac, and

space is very limited.
