ROADMAP TO PERFECTION 

There are highs and lows in any profession and we all learn ‘to go with 

the fl ow’, but there are exhilarating parts of our work that light up our 

lives and, we hope, the lives of our clients! This Superb Burgundy 

Cellar is just such an event and an opportunity and we are honoured 

to be able to bring this to auction in London. When a great English 

country cellar becomes available, we fi nd it a mouth-watering 

exercise as the keeping conditions are ideal for the wines – the stu 

of dreams for wine lovers. This is a lovingly amassed collection, 

sourced impeccably and recorded with great care with regard to 

documentation and organisation. 

At fi rst glance you can see that the owner of these enticing wines has 

a passion for Burgundy and thus the collection is utterly dominated 

by the very best that this glorious, but maddeningly small, region 

can produce. While homage is paid to Bordeaux of top quality, the 

richness lies in the Côte d’Or’s most magical domains. These are 

the growers who defi ne what Burgundy should be and who lure us, 

by their skill and understanding of their vineyards, to search for their 

bottles and to spend what we can in the pursuit of such splendid 

tastes. Drinking great Burgundy has a value that is di cult to 

quantify since the experience, on each occasion, is unique and the 

memories last forever. 

A Burgundy collection such as this is peppered with the most 

glittering names, from DRC to Jayer, Dujac to Rousseau , de Vogüé 

to Roumier, Leroy to Fourrier, Grivot to Gros, Méo Camuzet 

to Mongeard Mugneret – a star-studded list and a roll-call of 

excellence. And fi ve decades of the best promenade in front of our 

eyes, many in case quantities, the rest o ering tantalising possibilities 

for comparison and long, hedonistic Burgundy dinners, since this is a 

cellar where the owner drank and appreciated his wines rather than 

just looking at them. 

Please take time to look carefully at the catalogue, the hard copy or 

on line, as this is a cellar that is just full of treasures. You can stick a 

pin in anywhere and come up with delicious wines at all price levels. 

And if one is sated with Burgundy (in my view, an impossibility!), 

glance at the bordelais gems as well. 

In Europe, we are heading into autumn which is THE moment for 

matching exciting Burgundy with furred and feathered game that 

we are lucky enough to have in our countries at this time. If you 

are in warmer climes, turn up the air conditioning and revel in these 

remarkable wines!

A GREAT BURGUNDY COLLECTION, RECENTLY 

REMOVED FROM THE CELLARS OF AN HISTORIC 

ENGLISH COUNTRY HOUSE 

The house dates from the late 18th century and the cellars are 

even older, they have a cool constant temperature and natural 

humidity, ideal for storing wine. The owner produced many 

invoices dating from the early 1990s verifying that his wines 

had been purchased from reputable UK wine merchants.

RED BURGUNDY 

DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE CONTI 

The Domaine, as it is known, is iconic. Much more important, 

it also produces the most extraordinary wines in Burgundy 

- and it has been doing so for a long time. The generations 

responsible for the Domaine change, but the terroir remains. 

And these are very special vineyard parcels indeed, married 

to meticulous care and philosophy leading to low yields 

and healthy, ripe grapes, at whatever cost. From the 1990s, 

vineyard policy has been organic, with co-owner Aubert 

de Villaine monitoring everything with his usual attention 

to detail. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti wines evolve and 

develop dimensions in a way that resembles a mosaic - points 

of bouquet and fl avour making up a harmonious whole that 

becomes more beautiful as it unfolds in the glass. Yes, these 

are hedonistic wines and yes, they are not like any other. The 

trick is in capturing what these remarkable plots of vines can 

give and letting them express themselves through minimum 

intervention and enlightened nurturing. SS.

An extremely generous Chinese host pro ered this at a 

memorable dinner in Macao. Brown-tinged, in the way of 

1971s, it is just so haunting and mellow, staying beautifully 

present in the glass and continuing to enchant. Rich, deep 

‘sous-bois’. Entrancing. SS.

A pure Guerlain scent on the nose. Enormous sweetness and 

luscious liquorice. Decadent, gamey taste. Sweet, candied 

violets. Astounding. At a blind tasting, I fi rst thought it was 

Grands Echézeaux and then changed to Richebourg as it was 

“much too good for Grands Echézeaux”! I also thought it was 

a 1978 as it was so gamey. A second bottle was even younger, 

almost like 1985! SS.

At 32 years old, this has the most incredible gamey, scented 

bouquet of huge, heathery purity. All pervasive, enveloping all 

who were tasting. On the palate, an almost honied, cherryish, 

damp earth taste, with immense persistence and length – it 

lingered for minutes. Alarmingly beautiful in that unique DRC 

way. There were notes of charcoal and bright, red fruit but, in 

the end, it was just La Tâche at its most seductive and alluring.

Last tasted from magnum in 2010, at a Burgundy/Cantonese 

food dinner at The China Club in Hong Kong hosted by 

generous friends. It had an extraordinarily violetty taste, with 

such delicacy now and that persistent DRC fi nish. SS.

wine-maker. His total respect for the raw material, plus a real 

gift for coaxing out superb scent and lovely fl avour, have 

left us with decades of stunning Rousseau wines. Now, Eric 

Rousseau follows in these illustrious footsteps. When you

DOMAINE DUJAC 

Jacques Seysses bought this domaine in 1968 and built it up 

to be one of the most notable on the Côte de Nuits through 

a combination of hard work and intelligent winemaking. 

Harvesting is immensely careful here and there is no 

destalking, a rarity nowadays. The Grands and Premiers Crus 

are matured in fûts that have been used only once. The wines 

are fi ned with whites of egg and bottled after fi fteen months, 

without fi ltration. There is great character here in each 

appellation and each “climat”, with both purity and clarity in 

the wines, plus breed.

DOMAINE GEORGES ROUMIER 

CHRISTOPHE ROUMIER 

Christophe Roumier makes the wines following the death of 

his father Jean-Marie, the third son of Georges. He favours 

a natural, organic approach in the vineyard as he wishes to 

encourage a diversity of natural yeasts. Low yields are also a 

fi xture here, but via strict pruning, rather than green harvest 

later in the season. Fermentation temperature is not allowed 

to exceed 30 degrees Celsius, there are one to two pigeages 

a day, and the wines are aged in a maximum of one-third 

new oak. The Ruchottes and Charmes now appear under 

Christophe Roumier’s own label. Wines of purity and great 

class and depth of fl avour, with a long future ahead of them, 

made by a guardian of the Burgundian Grail. SS.

DOMAINE PONSOT 

I recently drank at home a bottle of Ponsot’s Clos de la Roche 

Vieilles Vignes 1992 (a vintage not in this sale!) and refl ected 

what absolute joy these wines can bring, especially with bottle 

age and perhaps with decanting so that they can breathe and 

exude that magical scented bouquet of real fi nesse that is a 

hallmark at this domaine. Laurent Ponsot is an original, with 

fi rm views and, now, decades of experience. The vineyards 

here produce some of the best Pinot Noir clones now used 

and Laurent waits until full ripeness before picking. Long 

vatting, some high fermentation temperatures, frequent 

pigeages, a smattering of new wood and no fi ltration are the 

recipe, but it is the character of the climats that sings through, 

bringing spicy elegance and intriguing sweet, gamey qualities.

HENRI JAYER 

The late, great Henri Jayer died during the 2006 harvest but 

his infl uence and principles live on with those in Burgundy 

who saw how he worked and learnt so much from him. 

Undoubtedly, he is also revered among wine lovers who have 

his wines in their cellars. For decades he managed the estates 

of others as well as his own vineyards. He studied oenology 

in Dijon and particularly appreciated the chance to taste 

wines other than from Burgundy, thus enhancing his overall 

knowledge of wine making. From the beginning, Henri Jayer 

had great respect for the soil and for the grapes, his raw 

material, preferring ‘sélection massale’ to clones, as then he 

could produce small berries with resistant skins. He loved 

old vines, if possible with an average of 50 years, and this 

enabled him to limit production without recourse to green 

harvesting. An enemy of any form of ‘greenness’, he always 

destalked and was an early supporter of sorting tables. He 

picked very ripe and used natural yeasts. Cold macerations 

before fermentation and new Tronçais oak barrels were a 

rule of thumb, always marrying modernity with tradition. We 

certainly owe much to Henri Jayer, particularly the ‘discovery’ 

of Cros Parantoux, which was lying fallow, requiring him 

to clear it of rocks with a wheelbarrow! To appreciate the 

great wines of Henri Jayer at their best, remember that they 

normally have a good deal of sediment, so rest them well 

after any movement. SS.

MEO-CAMUZET 

This is a domain with excellent vineyards and a stellar 

reputation. Henri Jayer was long a consultant after spending 

much of his career leasing vines from the estate. Jean- 

Nicolas Méo attaches great importance to low yields which 

accounts for the concentration of his wines. He also uses, 

as Jayer did, 100% new oak, except for Bourgogne Rouge 

(50%) and Passe-Tout-Grains (second year oak). There is no 

fi ltering and bottling is from each cask. I place this domain at 

the pinnacle of Burgundy’s achievements, making wines that 

really express their “climats”. You will never see better Clos 

de Vougeot than from Méo-Camuzet. SS.

so young and fresh at 19 years old. A winner from the start, 

it more than lives up to all its early promise. In 2011 in Hong

At 22 years old, the bouquet tells you immediately everything 

about great Côte de Nuits – wild and yet breedy. Sweet, 

succulent, glorious taste, gamey and unrestrained. Like liquid 

simnel cake, with the layers of marzipan within the fruit! This 

is roast grouse wine par excellence. A wonderful, fresh, briary 

fi nish. One is drinking this wine with the bloom of being at 

peak beauty. It will be more mature and more tame but, in 

2012, this has the edge of the uncontrollable, the addictive 

‘extra’ of great Burgundy. SS.

A real Barton bouquet of fruit and sensuality. Silky, with lots

the 1989 but for me, the latter is totally dominant in terms of 

depth and complexity. At 20 years old, a beautiful bouquet of 

heather. Wonderful, silky, seductive fruit on the palate, with 

mature plums and black tea. The tannins melt in the mouth.

Some earthy mushrooms on the nose, along with violets and 

aniseed. Lovely rich earth, opulent “Burgundian” taste. Lots 

of sweet, melting, violetty fruit. Like a great, minerally, top 

Côte de Nuits, with extra aniseed, but it tastes older than a top 

1964 Burgundian grand cru. Thicker than the 1962 and much 

spicier, with an earthy fi nish. SS.

65% Cabernet Sauvignon in this vintage. In 2010, there was

Margaux, 1er Cru Classé 

u. 2bn, 1vts, labels damp stained and glue striped 

At 30 years old, absolutely stunning. Flawless and at the top of 

the ‘treat’ scale. The multi-layered complexity of Cabernet on 

supreme terroir in a very ripe year comes through on the nose, 

together with massive cinnamon. Dense, rich, voluptuous and 

thick on the palate. That blackcurrant ‘bite’ and vibrancy runs 

all through this. This is ‘grand vin’ at its most glorious. SS.

The heat came earlier in 1989 than in 1990, which gives that 

exotic scent which is inimitable Pétrus. Glorious leather and 

liquorice taste. Just so “oriental”. Landmark Pétrus. Limitless 

dimension. A real chocolate fl avour to it. This has all the 

mystery of Pétrus forged in exceptional climatic conditions. 

Flavours of venison and violets. In 2011, that marvellous

There is a deeper colour on the 1990 than on the 1989 - 

denser. Incredibly opulent, plummy Pétrus. Very voluptuous. 

Wonderful dried fruit fl avours - almost Napa-like. Mocha

Château Cheval Blanc 1990 

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A) 

Bts: Levels just into neck, labels lightly bin soiled and 

discoloured 

Mag: Good level, label lightly bin soiled 

Vintage from 11 September to 25 September – only the 1945 

and the 1989 were picked earlier during this century. Strict 

thinning out in this prolifi c vintage produced 38 hl/hectare. 

55% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc. 13.5% alcohol. The overripe 

Merlot this year was balanced by Cabernet Franc freshness. 

The dream comparison with 1989. In 2011 from double 

magnum, a nose of fi gs. Toast and caramel. An amazing 

array of scents. Fabulous, sweet, spicy cinnamon on the 

palate. Pure silk. Tremendously seductive with sweet leather 

at the end. SS.

Good levels and appearance apart from 1 label very slightly

Vintage from 15 September to 28 September. In the previous 

50 years at Cheval Blanc, only the 1990 and the 1989 were 

harvested earlier which shows how things have changed 

more recently. 44 hl/hectare made – a generous vintage. 

12.8% alcohol. 53% Cabernet Franc, 47% Merlot. Due to 

circumstances beyond his control (Mother Nature!), Pierre 

Lurton’s fi rst great vintage. In 2011, a real smoky nose of great 

intensity. This even has a meaty note. Great, thick texture, 

with a touch of iron. Dense, black fruit wine. SS.

Pomerol 

Good levels, labels badly damp stained and very lightly 

scu ed, 1 has been torn and reapplied at some point 

This was the driest year since 1945, except for 1961. We used 

to say it was a bit ‘reined in’, a touch ‘Protestant’ even. Well, 

at 14 years old and at a dinner in Hong Kong, it was decidedly 

‘Catholic’ and not a bit inhibited! Intense, warm leaves nose, 

the ‘maquis’, or scented, wild undergrowth, in full bloom. 

Immensely tempting. Great red fruit taste, brimming over 

with health and vivacity. Lovely silky fi nish. A superb mouthful 

and signature Pétrus, hardly surprising in an excellent year for 

Merlot. SS.

Le Pin 1998 

Pomerol 

Label lightly bin soiled with a small nick along bottom edge, 

capsule loose - has been lifted and replaced 

Tasted at a 2009 pre-sale dinner in Hong Kong, this is already 

pure seduction. A real cassis and woodsmoke nose leads to a 

totally luscious, essence-like texture, coating the mouth with 

velvety, opulent fruit. Le Pin is a world unto itself. SS.

This has always had, from the start, a great rosy bloom to the 

bouquet, maybe a refl ection of the 1900 when it was young? 

Violets, fi nesse and sheer class. Great freshness on the palate. 

Blackberry jam. Great spicy black fruit all through it. Huge 

tannins that are so soft and fresh. Luscious redcurrants at the 

end. In 2011, glorious woodsmoke and blueberries on the nose. 

A touch of aniseed on the fi nish. Great nobility and breed. SS.

Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classé 

The most glorious, ebullient, show-stopping, almost wild nose 

of red and black fruit. Phenomenal richness, glycerol and 

gummy black fruit on the palate. Showy and fl ag-waving, 

aromatic and dense. In 2012, such a nose of pure breed and 

so much silk on the palate, with huge Havana fl avours. Will go

Only 44% went into the grand vin this year. Lovely, total 

Mouton nose and taste. Huge Cabernet Sauvignon feeling, 

with that bouquet of cassis and peppermint that I often see in 

Mouton. Lovely silky tannins and accessible early. Very well 

made – there has been so much progress on the tannins here. 

Delicious with a real kernel of fruit to it. Succulent and chewy.

A MAGNIFICENT PRIVATE COLLECTION, 

FEATURING BORDEAUX, BURGUNDY, ITALIAN AND 

SPANISH WINES 

We are honoured to o er for sale a magnifi cent private 

collection which has been kept in the original cellars of a 

500-year-old castle on the Continent. It was a real privilege 

to see the bottles “in situ” and we are delighted to be able to 

bring part of this collection to an international audience at 

auction. 

All the wines were purchased either directly from the châteaux 

or from established wine merchants. The cellars’ natural 

coolness and humidity have ensured that these wines have 

been kept beautifully, however, some bottles which were kept 

in bins in the oldest part of the castle’s cellars have bin soiled 

labels.

RED BORDEAUX 

Château Talbot 1949

u. hs, remains of label only, vintage embossed on cork, capsule 

wrinkled and slightly damaged 

In everyone’s list of mythical wines, but still very much present 

in its enormous vigour, dimension and complexity. The 

rich, pervasively scented bouquet leads to a great, treacly 

taste, with overlapping layers, plus fruit and tannin in massive 

doses. Just before its 50th birthday, it has that immediate, 

ultra-concentrated, total cassis, burly Latour nose. Utterly 

nostalgic and reminiscent of time and place. A huge gulp 

of intoxicating fruit and aromatics, with that inimitable thick 

texture of 1961 in general and Latour in particular. So much 

fat, it covers the tannin. Total tensile strength. It literally is 

“crunchy” with berries. After two hours in the glass, it is even 

more stupendous. SS.

At nearly 30 years old, delicate, spicy and earthy on the nose.

RED BURGUNDY 



u. 4cm, label bin soiled, Leroy neck label 

At 32 years old, this has the most incredible gamey, scented 

bouquet of huge, heathery purity. All pervasive, enveloping all 

who were tasting. On the palate, an almost honied, cherryish, 

damp earth taste, with immense persistence and length – it 

lingered for minutes. Alarmingly beautiful in that unique DRC 

way. There were notes of charcoal and bright, red fruit but, in 

the end, it was just La Tâche at its most seductive and alluring.

Quite a bit more brown than the 1985 - warm earth and

Huge nose of macerated berries. Intensity of black fruit. 

Massive, Port-like wine - and I do not mean that pejoratively. 

Great power and glycerol. Utterly complete between the

The vanillin/leather nose of American oak, smoky with spicy

the end plus the American oak. Great fi nesse of texture. Try 

this alongside a Heitz Martha’s Vineyard of the late 1960s!

A recent magnum had the inky, mineral nose, plus mint. The

Draconian selection produced this level of quality. Early on, 

there was an aromatic nose, not as ripe as 2000 and 200l, 

and a real co ee taste which was very winning. On its tenth 

birthday, a really interesting mocha and cassis nose, with a 

touch of cloves. Very lanolin texture. Not absolute ripeness, 

but a very good cherry fl avour. SS.

Last drunk (two times!) in 2011 from a fabulous English 

country cellar. Lucky me. A bouquet that is sweet, mature 

and yet fresh, with rosy elements. So spicy, so soft and so 

luscious on the palate. Very up-front and blushingly beautiful. 

Melts in the mouth. Not the structure of the 1966 but much 

more charm. Pure, classy Latour maturity. Almost a to ee

This is a fabulous wine. Just when you think it could not get 

any more delicious, it comes up and hits you in the face with 

its sheer, knock-out beauty. Outstandingly rich and spicy, so 

chocolate, so young and so fresh. One cannot gulp enough 

of it and it remains long on the palate in all its smoky, velvety 

glory. In 2009, in double magnum, it was stupendous and on 

New Year’s Eve 2010, in bottle, it was gloriously silky. In 2011, 

rich, glorious leather and sumptuous liquorice fruit. SS.

Glorious, velvety wine. In 2010, fabulous crimson colour and 

a real spicy, blackcurrant bouquet. So immensely classy. An

sheer drinkability. Seamlessly beautiful all through. Incredibly

Excellent level, good appearance, capsule slightly worn on top 

This is a total joy, and it always has been. At 24 years old, it 

had a really meaty/plummy nose – it comes out at you like a 

train, which is exciting! Great healthy red fruit on the palate, a 

feature of these lovely 1985s. Immensely satisfying. Perfectly 

composed, as the very best Claret should be. SS.

This vintage marked the real imprint of the new Dillon 

ownership, following the family’s acquisition of the property 

in 1983. A wonderful, rich, exciting nose, plummy and fresh. 

Intoxicating really. So luscious on the palate and still so young. 

Oozing beautiful fruit and with a heavenly tobacco fi nish. 

Perfectly composed and poised – exemplary. Pure pleasure 

and total enjoyment at 26 years old. SS.

48.8 hl/hectare which is high for Cheval Blanc. The vintage 

took place from 1-17 October. Only 12.5% alcohol which 

seems low nowadays! Still so fresh – the Cabernet Franc 

gives that element, but it was also a great Merlot year. Smoky 

leather bouquet. Glorious red fruit, a real mark of 1985. 

Utterly delectable. In 2011, this has a really briary nose of ‘wine 

and roses’! A fabulous, lush, fresh, succulence on the palate. 

And the true sweetness of ripeness of both the Cabernet 

Franc and the Merlot. Another bottle had great intensity on 

the nose. Co ee liqueur bouquet and a co ee bean taste. SS.

Pomerol 

Excellent levels, good appearance although 1 label slightly 

nicked along bottom edge, 1 slightly stained along bottom 

edge 

The heat came earlier in 1989 than in 1990, which gives that 

exotic scent which is inimitable Pétrus. Glorious leather and 

liquorice taste. Just so “oriental”. Landmark Pétrus. Limitless 

dimension. A real chocolate fl avour to it. This has all the 

mystery of Pétrus forged in exceptional climatic conditions. 

Flavours of venison and violets. In 2011, that marvellous 

roasted raisins and liquorice nose that draws you in and 

seduces you. So utterly sweet, luscious and embracing. SS.

In 2011, an exhilarating, magic bouquet of warm spices,

This you will want to keep although it is so luscious it is di cult 

not to fall upon it now (that is permitted for the bottle size!). 

The huge, meaty character is concentrated and tannic, but it 

is so fruity and full that the structure is covered with velvet, in 

the best Burgundian tradition. From magnum in 2009, a real 

liquorice liqueur and leather nose. Even orange zest. Almost 

“marine”. So rich and gummy and now almost a raspberry 

liqueur fl avour. Soft, smoky and round. So long. Almost Portlike.

Glycerol. At 45 years old, it has extraordinary richness and

Perfect balance between the fruit, the acidity and the tannin. 

Roasting co ee beans plus plums macerated in liqueur. The 

tannins are so soft now and there is terrifi c elegance and

very consistent, only the chocolate at the fi nish had turned into

There is no more modest winemaker in the whole of Italy than 

Bruno Giacosa, the fabled traditionalist from the Langhe. 

From his Piedmontese fastness in Neive, he crafts classic 

wines from both his own very fi ne estate and from grapes he 

buys from growers he has known for decades. The results are 

the pure expression of the wines’ DOCG and DOC status, 

with no masking of their natural power and fl avours. These 

are wines that simply cry out for the splendid food of the 

region. SS.

TENUTA DELL’ORNELLAIA 

This is an amazing time for this great Tuscan property. Its 

wines are recognised as never before as the best that Italy 

can produce and they a ord some of the great drinking 

experiences that can be found worldwide. The almost 

Margaux-like quality of Ornellaia, with its fruit, breed and 

fi ne texture, contrasts gloriously with the thicker, denser, 

exotic Merlot of Masseto. Both wines are many-layered, 

unfolding on the palate to a long, lingering fi nish, a refl ection 

of the complex marine, alluvial and volcanic soils of this 

breathtakingly beautiful area. If ever there were bottles of 

liquid landscape, these are they! SS. 


Toscana, IGT 

Wonderfully rich, opulent, heady nose. Smoke and roses. 

Great power and terrifi c fruit. Plums and spices on the palate. 

Enormous class and incredible defi nition. Great tannin, but so 

ripe. So complete and so glorious. Noble perfection. In 2010, 

great minerality and classicism. Such a complete wine with a 

fabulous combination of all its components. Reminds me of 

the great plateau of Pomerol. SS.

Cinnamon at the end – with that charming freshness too. In

MESSORIO 

Messorio, still today, is a project in evolution regarding 

methods of vinifi cation, fi ning, and micro-vinifi cation for 

single vineyards. This dedication and enthusiasm translates 

into wines of special character; which fully express the 

character of the vineyards. The wines are deservedly sought 

after, immediately striking for their elegance and perfume, 

which is largely as a result of oak selection and shorter time 

in barrel, as well as an even more rigid selection of fruit in the 

vineyard

SASSICAIA 

The King of the Super Tuscans and still a monument to 

excellence and longevity - I have superb examples from the 

Seventies in my cellar (address not supplied!). Sassicaia 

launched Bolgheri on the wine-making map, with the grapes 

coming from four plots over 60 hectares. Usually 85% 

Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc, the wines are 

classy ‘racehorses’, with breed and stamina, standing up nobly 

to the best competition from around the world. SS. 

Sassicaia 2001 Tenuta San Guido 

Bolgheri Sassicaia, DOC 

A classic year and a classical Sassicaia. The temperatures were 

cooler than usual which has given lovely fruit without huge 

structure. Nevertheless, it needs time, in true Sassicaia fashion. 

It was the fi rst year in which they made selections for the 

‘grand vin’ and this practice has continued. Utterly ‘blooming’ 

on the nose. So vibrant and fresh. The most beautiful, 

crunchy fruit. Fine, fi ligree texture. So sleek and with a lovely 

juicy fi nish. SS.

This was Sebastiano Rosa’s third vintage at this great family 

property. They say there are similarities with 2007, but the 

wines are very di erent. Scented and heathery, harmonious 

and full of character. The tannins seem thicker and denser 

than in 2007 and 2006 and it fi nishes a little drier in the mouth.

Bolgheri had an exceptionally warm June and July this year, 

although August was cooler. The fi rst thing that impresses 

with this wine is its beautiful, elegant bouquet followed by a 

real cassis taste and such noble texture. There is real breed 

in the fl avour and fruit. For the future, stylistic comparisons 

between the 2006 and the 2007 will be riveting. SS.

This was an almost perfect year that gave a more typical 

Sassicaia than (the excellent) 2006. A lovely warm, black

fruity in the mouth. Almost ‘confi serie’, but in a good sense! 

An immensely attractive wine that will win a mass of new

This was a fabulous year for Bolgheri and Sassicaia has made a 

stunning wine. A wonderful, vibrant blackberry nose leads to 

a real earthy/spicy taste, with lots of thick, mouth-fi lling fruit. It 

is very juicy and chocolatey, with red fruit, tobacco and mocha. 

Like lovely sweet blackberry jam on the palate. This has now 

had the time in bottle to be really complex. SS.

LAFITE 2008 AND OTHER YOUTHFUL 

BLOCKBUSTERS 

Lots 659-662 



RED BORDEAUX 



Very elegant, even feminine nose, scented, pure and 

expansive. So much fi nesse on the palate that it is almost 

Margaux and not Pauillac! Elegant and fresh, with fi ne fruit 

and ripe tannins, the epitome of harmony. As usual with Lafi te, 

it takes on weight with each year in bottle. SS.

Enormous roses plus red and black fruit on the nose, 

announcing something very special. This is already a wine that 

is perfectly moulded together, with density, purity and tannins 

of immense fi nesse. Undoubtedly a star, instantly recognisable 

and breathing beauty. SS.

Château Pontet Canet 2009 


65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit 

Verdot, with the remainder Merlot. Owner Alfred Tesseron 

said that the raw material was so good this year that a 

winemaker needed to do minimum work. Wonderfully intense 

nose, so rich, so berryish, so ‘black’. Huge tannins but perfectly 

balanced with the fruit and acidity. Beautiful structure and 

very long. SS.

Pauillac 


Cabernet Sauvignon 50.6%, Merlot 42.2%, Cabernet Franc 

5%, Petit Verdot 2.2%. 

The nose is very blackcurrant, with the Cabernet Sauvignon 

coming through, but on the palate it is very Merlot, all creamy 

glycerol. It really is a lovely mouthful, opening out in glorious 

fashion, very opulent, long and sweet. The best Carruades I 

have ever tasted. SS.

La Tâche hides the comparative austerity of the 1994 vintage 

better than any other Burgundy, I feel. Luscious and deeply 

scented. Utterly more-ish. At 15 years old from magnum, this 

has a really aromatic scent with some meatiness. The tannins 

are really aromatic too, even orangey. Great black fruit, to 

the point of inkiness. Lines the interior of the mouth with 

thick layers of fruit. Even a touch of lemon on the fi nish. Very 

smooth and blackcurranty. SS.

This was a very warm year with the lowest acidity since 1959. 

Incredibly, all-enveloping, honied nose. Orange blossom and 

acacia. White fl owers and a very ‘winey’ quality. Immensely 

alluring. Wild peaches and silkiness on the palate with absolute 

freshness to match the ripeness. So juicy, fi nishing with such 

a ‘sweet’ sign-o combined with the still youthful attack which 

one so loves and anticipates in a great Champagne. SS.

This was the highest ever production but superb weather 

married this with great quality. Lovely fresh, red fruit nose 

with a real, prolonged scent. Great fruit and body on the 

palate. Will probably be like redcurrant liqueur 20 years hence. 

Totally succulent on the fi nish. In 2011, scented in a distinctly 

“Margaux” way. Violetty. Dense, velvety and yet with real 

elegance. Juicy and fresh, with an aniseed fl avour and a touch

A classic year and a classical Sassicaia. The temperatures were 

cooler than usual which has given lovely fruit without huge 

structure. Nevertheless, it needs time, in true Sassicaia fashion. 

It was the fi rst year in which they made selections for the 

‘grand vin’ and this practice has continued. Utterly ‘blooming’ 

on the nose. So vibrant and fresh. The most beautiful, 

crunchy fruit. Fine, fi ligree texture. So sleek and with a lovely 

juicy fi nish. SS.

RIGHT BANK CLARET AND GRAND CRU 

BURGUNDY FROM THE SAME CONSIGNOR 

RED BORDEAUX 



Good levels and appearance apart from 1 label damaged in 

top right corner and 1 with 2 tiny nicks 

Vintage from 11 September to 25 September – only the 1945 

and the 1989 were picked earlier during this century. Strict 

thinning out in this prolifi c vintage produced 38 hl/hectare. 

55% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc. 13.5% alcohol. The overripe 

Merlot this year was balanced by Cabernet Franc freshness. 

The dream comparison with 1989. In 2011 from double 

magnum, a nose of fi gs. Toast and caramel. An amazing 

array of scents. Fabulous, sweet, spicy cinnamon on the 

palate. Pure silk. Tremendously seductive with sweet leather 

at the end. SS.

Vintage from 15 September to 28 September. In the previous 

50 years at Cheval Blanc, only the 1990 and the 1989 were 

harvested earlier which shows how things have changed 

more recently. 44 hl/hectare made – a generous vintage. 

12.8% alcohol. 53% Cabernet Franc, 47% Merlot. Due to 

circumstances beyond his control (Mother Nature!), Pierre 

Lurton’s fi rst great vintage. In 2011, a real smoky nose of great 

intensity. This even has a meaty note. Great, thick texture, 

with a touch of iron. Dense, black fruit wine. SS.

Pomerol 

Good levels and appearance although 1 label has a tiny nick 

The stunning impact of an all-Merlot wine in a vintage that 

was made for the grape variety. Le Pin is simply unlike any 

other Bordeaux, even unlike other top Pomerols. The huge 

blast of berries and thick, all-enveloping texture of this wine are 

impressive – absolute, top-of-the-radar stu . I cannot wait to 

try it with a dish of lacquered duck with grilled fi gs! SS.

grapefruit lusciousness on the palate - now one sees why

compared it with the 1937. Pure beauty as it develops in the

absolutely stunning, sweeping all before it – the best I have 

ever had. An incredible treat. In 2011, from bottle, this was just 

so incisive and youthful, dense and powerful. And, post-sale 

in New York in 2011, from double magnum, an immensely 

spicy, aromatic bouquet leads to that thick, enveloping, total 

succulence of Latour 1982. So sweet and ripe. Massive, yet 

gentle, wine that plumbs the depths of sensory perception. SS.

Ausone, quite haunting. Elegance and length on the

In 2012 and from magnum, this was just such a deep-coloured

Tapenade and peat on the nose with fl avours of berries and 

violets. This has years ahead of it, decades on the evidence of 

this magnum. SS.

Soft, enveloping taste, with chocolate fl avours. Spicy and juicy

Tasted at a great Imperial dinner in Hong Kong in 2011. Such 

an extraordinary spice bazaar bouquet – it reminds me of a 

stroll through the Cairo market! Then a touch of sweet mint 

and basil. So soft and velvety, with a glorious ‘inky’ fi nish. 

Tobacco and mineral, meaty and huge. An impressive vintage

fabulously exciting. In 2009, I found guava and sun-scorched

60% Cabernet Sauvignon in this vintage. In 2009, it had a

69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot. 

I have always been passionate about this wine. A great 

Cabernet Sauvignon year in the Médoc, giving density and 

depth. This now has a formidable aniseed nose – fascinating. 

The exceptional concentration is its ‘leitmotif’, its fl avour dark 

chocolate and mint. At Christmas 2011, it was the star of the 

show, trouncing all-comers with its fabulous complexity. SS.

The middle of a stunning trio of Lafi tes and my absolute 

favourite. 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot. In 2012, 

extremely scented nose of great class and breed. Smoky 

too. Great ‘family’ similarity with the 1988. Almost minty/ 

chocolatey in fl avour. A lovely sweet, ripe fi nish. I think this 

will go on for ever. SS.

Great scent, dominated by loganberries when it was young. 

Superb, juicy black fruit on the palate. Such a ripe fi nish, 

mouthwatering all the way through. In 2011, that real, total 

super-healthy 2000 nose to it. One now senses the opulence 

of this wine, with all its layers. Such a vivid taste of plums. 

Such fresh acidity – still a baby. This will last a century if 

desired, so think two generations on. SS.

Dense blue-black colour to the rim. At this very young age,

Incredibly, almost unbelievably scented. At 5 years old, huge 

fl avours of cassis with all the wine-gum sweetness. Massive 

roasted blackcurrants on the fi nish. Exotic, spicy, intoxicating. 

Super-rich plums and spices. Phenomenally exciting – where

9/09 WINE_GLOSSARY 

GLOSSARY OF ABBREVIATIONS 

Ullages (Level of Wine) 

For Bordeaux, Port and other wines in bottles with defi ned shoulders the ullage/level is shown, if relevant, by its relevant position in 

the bottle. Our interpretations are as follows: 

Cautionary Notes 

u. - ullage/ullages (levels) 

n. - within neck; the normal level of young wines 

bn. - bottom neck; completely acceptable for any age of wine 

vts. - very top shoulder; completely acceptable for any age of wine 

ts. - top shoulder; usual level for wines over 15 years old 

hs. - high shoulder; typical reduction through the cork, usually no problem 

ms. - mid shoulder; usually some deterioration of the cork and therefore some variation 

Example: (u. 3hs) means 3 bottles ullaged to high shoulder. 

For Burgundy, German and other wines in bottles with sloping necks the ullage is shown in centimetres, 

measured from the base of the cork. 

Example: (u. 2x5cm) means 2 bottles ullaged 5 centimetres. 

1 Whilst we do all that is possible to indicate accurately the levels of older wines, such levels may change between cataloguing and sales. This may be caused by the 

ageing of the cork or by a change in the temperature of the storage conditions or the shipment of the wine. 

2 There is a risk of cork failure in old wines which must be taken into account by the potential buyer. 

3 Sotheby’s will not entertain any price negotiation or credit after the delivery is made and returns will not be accepted. 

4 Under no circumstances will substitutes be provided by Sotheby’s; for example in the case of breakage, or error of description. 

5 Labels may be stained where wines have been stored in damp conditions. It should be noted that such storage conditions are generally benefi cial.

The above table is a guide to the litres of wine per bottle size. Where relevant the fi gures have been taken from 

the EU prescribed litreage for light still wine, sparkling wine and liqueur wine. The di erent categories have 

separate implementation dates which, when combined with past variances in bottling quantities of some bottle 

sizes, means that this should be treated purely as a guide. Should you require the litreage capacity of the wine in 

any lot, please contact the Wine Department. 

* up to 1978 Jeroboams were generally bottled in 4.5 litre bottles rather than 5 litre bottles.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION 

FOR BUYERS AT WINE SALES 

Bidding per Lot Bidding is per lot. Where a lot 

contains more or less than a case, the estimate has 

been altered on a pro rata basis. 

Buyer’s Premium A buyer’s premium of 17.5% 

plus VAT will be added to the hammer price. 

VAT Please see the page ‘VAT and Other Tax 

Information for Buyers at Wines Sales’. 

Wines o ered Duty Paid Except where otherwise 

stated, all lots are o ered duty paid and bidding 

is at duty paid prices 

Options A parcel is a group of lots of the same 

type and quantity of wine. There may be some 

discrepancies between the di erent lots in a parcel 

with respect to level, condition or otherwise, as 

set forth in the catalogue descriptions for each lot. 

At the auctioneer’s discretion, the successful bidder 

of the fi rst lot in a parcel shall have the option, 

but not the obligation, to purchase in consecutive 

order one or more of the remaining lots in the parcel, 

each at the same successful bid price as the 

fi rst lot. If any lots in the parcel are not purchased, 

the auctioneer will open the bidding on the next 

unsold lot in the parcel and the successful bidder 

of that lot shall have the option, but not the obligation, 

to purchase in consecutive order one or more, 

if any, of the remaining lots in the parcel, each at 

the newly established successful bid price.. 

Estimates Pre-sale estimates are intended as a 

guide for prospective buyers. Any bid between 

the high and low pre-sale estimates would, in our 

opinion, o er a chance of success. However, all 

lots can realise prices above or below the pre-sale 

estimates. 

It is advisable to consult us nearer the time of 

sale as estimates can be subject to revision. The 

estimates printed in the auction catalogue do not 

include the buyer’s premium. 

Cataloguing of old wines Wines are catalogued 

as accurately as possible at the time of going to 

press. However, purchasers must take into consideration 

the natural variations and conditions of 

cases, labels, ullages, corks and wines. Sotheby’s 

are unable to accept returns. 

Wines o ered ex-cellars or fob This applies 

only to wines lying abroad. Bidding is at ex-cellars 

or FOB prices as appropriate. 

SYMBOLS 

The following key explains the symbols you may 

see inside this catalogue. 

Guaranteed Property 

The seller of lots with this symbol has been guaranteed 

a minimum price from one auction or a 

series of auctions. This guarantee may be provided 

by Sotheby’s, by a third party or jointly by 

Sotheby’s and a third party. A guarantee may be in 

the form of an irrevocable bid provided by a third 

party. Third parties providing or participating in a 

guarantee may benefi t fi nancially if a guaranteed 

lot is sold successfully and may incur a loss if the 

sale is not successful. If every lot in a catalogue 

is guaranteed, the Important Notices in the sale 

catalogue will so state and this symbol will not be 

used for each lot. 

128 I +44 (0)20 7293 5000 SOTHEBYS.COM 

Property in which Sotheby’s has an Ownership 

Interest 

Lots with this symbol indicate that Sotheby’s owns 

the lot in whole or in part or has an economic interest 

in the lot equivalent to an ownership interest. 

Irrevocable Bids 

Lots with this symbol indicate that a party has provided 

Sotheby’s with an irrevocable bid on the lot 

that will be executed during the sale at a value that 

ensures that the lot will sell. The irrevocable bidder, 

who may bid in excess of the irrevocable bid, will 

be compensated based on the fi nal hammer price 

in the event he or she is not the successful bidder. 

If the irrevocable bidder is the successful bidder, 

he or she will be required to pay the full Buyer’s 

Premium and will not be otherwise compensated. 

If the irrevocable bid is not secured until after the 

printing of the auction catalogue, a pre-lot announcement 

will be made indicating that there is 

an irrevocable bid on the lot. 

Interested Parties 

Lots with this symbol indicate that parties with a 

direct or indirect interest in the lot may be bidding 

on the lot, including (i) the benefi ciary of an estate 

selling the lot, or (ii) the joint owner of a lot. If 

the interested party is the successful bidder, they 

will be required to pay the full Buyer’s Premium. 

In certain instances, interested parties may have 

knowledge of the reserve. In the event the interested 

party’s possible participation in the sale is 

not known until after the printing of the auction 

catalogue, a pre-lot announcement will be made 

indicating that interested parties may be bidding 

on the lot. 

No Reserve 

Unless indicated by a box (), all lots in this catalogue 

are o ered subject to a reserve. A reserve 

is the confi dential hammer price established between 

Sotheby’s and the seller and below which a 

lot will not be sold. The reserve is generally set at a 

percentage of the low estimate and will not exceed 

the low estimate for the lot. If any lots in the catalogue 

are o ered without a reserve, these lots are 

indicated by a box (). If all lots in the catalogue 

are o ered without a reserve, a Special Notice will 

be included to this e ect and the box symbol will 

not be used. 

Wines o ered in bond available duty paid 

Lots marked are in bond, available duty paid. 

Please refer to the section entitled ‘VAT and 

Other Tax Information for Buyers at Wines Sales’ 

for further information on such lots. 

Wines o ered in bond only 

Lots marked are sold in bond only. Please refer 

to the section entitled ‘VAT and Other Tax Information 

for Buyers at Wines Sales’ for further 

information on such lots. 

Bidding by Noortman Master Paintings 

Noortman Master Paintings, an independently 

managed subsidiary of Sotheby’s, may bid for and/ 

or purchase any lot. Sotheby’s accepts no responsibility 

to other bidders in connection with permitting 

Noortman to bid and/or purchase any lot. 

2. BIDDING IN THE SALE 

Bidding at Auction Bids may be executed in 

person by paddle during the auction, in writing 

prior to the sale, by telephone or online. 

Auction speeds vary, but average between 

50 and 200 lots per hour. The bidding steps are 

generally in increments of approximately 10% of 

the previous bid. 

Please refer to Conditions 5 and 6 of the 

Conditions of Business for Buyers printed in this 

catalogue. 

Options 

A parcel is a group of lots of the same type and 

quantity of wine. There may be some discrepancies 

between the di erent lots in a parcel with respect 

to level, condition or otherwise, as set forth 

in the catalogue descriptions for each lot. At the 

auctioneer’s discretion, the successful bidder of the 

fi rst lot in a parcel shall have the option, but not the 

obligation, to purchase in consecutive order one 

or more of the remaining lots in the parcel, each at 

the same successful bid price as the fi rst lot. If any 

lots in the parcel are not purchased, the auctioneer 

will open the bidding on the next unsold lot in the 

parcel and the successful bidder of that lot shall 

have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase 

in consecutive order one or more, if any, of 

the remaining lots in the parcel, each at the newly 

established successful bid price. 

Please refer to Conditions 5 and 6 of the 


catalogue. 

Bidding in Person To bid in person, you will 

need to register for and collect a numbered paddle 

before the auction begins. Proof of identity will 

be required. If you have a Sotheby’s Identifi cation 

Card, it will facilitate the registration process. 

Should you be the successful buyer of a lot, 

please ensure that your paddle can be seen by 

the auctioneer and that it is your number that is 

called out. Should there be any doubts as to price 

or buyer, please draw the auctioneer’s attention to 

it immediately. 

All lots sold will be invoiced to the name and 

address in which the paddle has been registered 

and cannot be transferred to other names and addresses. 

Please do not mislay your paddle; in the event 

of loss, inform the Sales Clerk immediately. At the 

end of the sale, please return your paddle to the 

registration desk. 

Absentee Bids If you cannot attend the auction, 

we will be happy to execute written bids on 

your behalf. A bidding form can be found at the 

back of this catalogue. This service is free and 

confi dential. Lots will always be bought as cheaply 

as is consistent with other bids, the reserves and 

Sotheby’s commissions. In the event of identical 

bids, the earliest received will take precedence. 

Always indicate a “top limit” - the hammer price 

to which you would bid if you were attending the 

auction yourself. “Buy” and unlimited bids will not 

be accepted. Please refer to Condition 5 of the 


catalogue. 

Telephoned absentee bids must be confi rmed 

before the sale by letter or fax. Fax number for bids 

only: +44 (0)20 7293 6255. 

To ensure a satisfactory service, please ensure 

that we receive your bids at least 24 hours before 

the sale. 

Bidding by Telephone If you cannot attend the 

wine auction, it is possible to bid on the telephone 

on lots with a minimum low estimate of £1,000. 

As the number of telephone lines is limited, it is 

necessary to make arrangements for this service 

24 hours before the sale. 

We also suggest that you leave a maximum 

bid which we can execute on your behalf in the 

event we are unable to reach you by telephone. 

Multi-lingual sta are available to execute bids for 

you. Please refer to Condition 5 of the Conditions 

of Business for Buyers printed in this catalogue. 

Online Bidding If you cannot attend the auction, 

it is possible to bid online. A registration form 

for online bidding can be found at sothebys.com/ 

wine. This service is free and confi dential. To 

ensure a satisfactory service, please ensure that 

we receive your registration form at least 24 hours 

before the sale. Please refer to the Conditions for 

Live Online Bidding at sothebys.com/wine. 

Employee Bidding Sotheby’s employees may 

bid only if the employee does not know the reserve 

and fully complies with Sotheby’s internal 

rules governing employee bidding. 

Bidding by Noortman Master Paintings 

Noortman Master Paintings, an independently 

managed subsidiary of Sotheby’s in the USA, may 

bid for and/or purchase any lot. Sotheby’s accepts 

no responsibility to other bidders in connection 

with permitting Noortman to bid and/or purchase 

any lot. 

US Economic Sanctions The United States 

maintains economic and trade sanctions against 

targeted foreign countries, groups and organisations. 

US buyers will please note that US persons 

are generally prohibited from selling, buying or 

otherwise dealing with property belonging to 

members, residents, nationals or the governments 

of these countries, organisations or groups. 

3. THE AUCTION 

Conditions of Business The auction is governed 

by the Conditions of Business for Sellers and 

Buyers and the Authenticity Guarantee. These 

apply to all aspects of the relationship between 

Sotheby’s and actual and prospective bidders and 

buyers. Anyone considering bidding in the auction 

should read them carefully. They may be amended 

by way of notices posted in the saleroom or by way 

of announcement made by the auctioneer. 

Interested Parties Announcement In situations 

where a person who is allowed to bid on a lot has 

a direct or indirect interest in such lot, such as the 

benefi ciary or executor of an estate selling the lot, 

a joint owner of the lot, or a party providing or 

participating in a guarantee of the lot, Sotheby’s 

will make an announcement in the sale room that 

interested parties may bid on the lot. 

Consecutive and Responsive Bidding The 

auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot by 

placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer 

may further bid on behalf of the seller, up to 

the amount of the reserve, by placing consecutive 

or responsive bids for a lot. Please refer to Condition 

6 of the Conditions of Business for Buyers 

printed in this catalogue. 

4. AFTER THE AUCTION 

Payment Payment is due immediately after the 

sale and may be made by the following methods: 

sterling cash, sterling travellers cheque, sterling 

cheque, wire transfer in sterling, Visa, Mastercard, 

Eurocard, American Express and debit card (Visa 

Debit, Connect or Maestro). 

It is against Sotheby’s general policy to accept 

single or multiple related payments in the form 

of cash or cash equivalents in excess of the local 

currency equivalent of US$10,000. It is Sotheby’s 

policy to request any new clients or buyers preferring 

to make a cash payment to provide proof of 

identity (by providing some form of government 

issued identifi cation containing a photograph, such 

as a passport, identity card or driver’s licence) and 

confi rmation of permanent address. Thank you 

for your co-operation.

Cheques should be made payable to Sotheby’s. 

Although personal and company cheques 

drawn in pounds sterling on UK banks are accepted, 

you are advised that property will not be 

released until such cheques have cleared unless 

you have a pre-arranged Cheque Acceptance 

Facility. Forms to facilitate this are available from 

the Post Sale Service Group. 

Bank transfers Our bank account details are 

shown on our invoices. Please include your name, 

Sotheby’s account number and invoice number 

with your instructions to your bank. Please note 

that we reserve the right to decline payments 

received from anyone other than the buyer of 

record and that clearance of such payments will 

be required. Please contact our Post Sale Services 

Department if you have any questions concerning 

clearance. 

Payment by Mastercard, Visa, Eurocard and 

American Express will be subject to a 1.75% administrative 

fee. Payments exceeding £20,000 

can only be made by the cardholder in person. For 

absentee payments below £20,000 please contact 

the Post Sale Service Group on +44 (0)20 7293 

5220. 

We reserve the right to seek identifi cation of 

the source of funds received. 

The Conditions of Business require buyers to 

pay immediately for their purchases. However, in 

limited circumstances and with the seller’s agreement, 

Sotheby’s may o er buyers it deems creditworthy 

the option of paying for their purchases 

on an extended payment term basis. Generally 

credit terms must be arranged prior to the sale. 

In advance of determining whether to grant the 

extended payment terms, Sotheby’s may require 

credit references and proof of identity and residence. 

Loss or Damage Buyers are reminded that Sotheby’s 

accepts liability for loss or damage to lots 

for a maximum period of fi ve (5) days after the 

date of the auction. Please refer to Condition 7 of 

the Conditions of Business for Buyers printed in 

this catalogue. 

2/12 WINE_BUYERS 

IMPORTANT NOTICES 

ESTIMATES IN US DOLLARS AND EUROS 

As a guide to potential buyers, estimates for this 

sale are also shown in US Dollars and Euros. The 

estimates printed in the catalogue in Pounds 

Sterling have been converted at the following 

rate, which was current at the time of printing. 

These estimates may have been rounded: 

£1 = US$1.56 £1 = €1.27 

By the date of the sale this rate is likely to 

have changed, and buyers are recommended to 

check before bidding. 

During the sale Sotheby’s may provide a 

screen to show currency conversions as bidding 

progresses. This is intended for guidance only and 

all bidding will be in Pounds Sterling. Sotheby’s is 

not responsible for any error or omissions in the 

operation of the currency converter. 

Payment for purchases is due in Pounds 

Sterling, however the equivalent amount in 

any other currency will be accepted at the rate 

prevailing on the day that payment is received in 

cleared funds. 

Settlement is made to vendors in the 

currency in which the sale is conducted, or in 

another currency on request at the rate prevailing 

on the day that payment is made by Sotheby’s. 

SOTHEBY’S AUTHENTICITY 

GUARANTEE 

If Sotheby’s sells any wine which the Buyer subsequently 

shows to Sotheby’s reasonable satisfaction 

to be a “counterfeit”, subject to the terms 

below, Sotheby’s will set aside the sale and refund 

to the Buyer the total amount paid by the Buyer 

to Sotheby’s for such wine, in the currency of the 

original sale. 

For these purposes, “counterfeit” means a 

wine that in Sotheby’s reasonable opinion is an 

imitation created to deceive as to producer and 

vintage, where the correct description of the producer 

and vintage is not refl ected by the description 

in the catalogue. 

The Guarantee is provided for a period of 

twenty one (21) days from the date of the relevant 

auction, is solely for the benefi t of the original 

Buyer of record and may not be transferred to any 

third party. 

To be able to claim under this Guarantee, the 

Buyer must: 

(i) notify Sotheby’s in writing within such 21 day 

period of the reasons for believing the wine to be 

counterfeit, specifying the lot number, date of the 

auction at which it was purchased; and 

(ii) return the item to Sotheby’s at the original selling 

location in the same condition as at the date of 

sale to the Buyer and be able to transfer good title 

to the lot, free from any third party claims arising 

after the date of the sale. 

Sotheby’s has discretion to waive any of the 

above requirements. Sotheby’s may require the 

Buyer to obtain at the Buyer’s cost the reports of 

two independent and recognised experts in the 

fi eld, mutually acceptable to Sotheby’s and the 

Buyer. Sotheby’s shall not be bound by any reports 

produced by the Buyer, and reserves the right to 

seek additional expert advice at its own expense. 

In the event Sotheby’s decides to rescind the sale 

under this Guarantee, it may refund to the Buyer 

the reasonable costs of up to two mutually approved 

independent expert reports. 

Subject to the above, in the event that Sotheby’s 

determines that the Property is “counterfeit”, 

as the Buyer’s sole remedy Sotheby’s will rescind 

the sale and the seller will return the purchase price 

for the lot to the Buyer. Neither Sotheby’s nor the 

seller shall be liable for any incidental or consequential 

damages incurred or claimed, including 

without limitation, loss of profi ts or interest.

VAT AND OTHER TAX 

INFORMATION FOR BUY- 

ERS AT WINE SALES 

The following paragraphs are intended to give 

general guidance to buyers on the VAT and certain 

other potential tax implications of purchasing 

at Sotheby’s Wine Department sales. The information 

concerns the most usual circumstances 

and is not intended to be complete. In all cases 

the relevant tax legislation takes precedence and 

the VAT rates in e ect on the day of the auction 

will be the rates charged. It should be noted that, 

for VAT purposes only, Sotheby’s is not usually 

treated as an agent and most property is sold as if 

it is the property of Sotheby’s. 

In the following paragraphs, reference to 

VAT symbols shall mean those symbols located 

beside the lot number or the pre-sale estimates in 

the catalogue (or amending sale room notice). 

Please also refer to ‘A Breakdown of the 

Costs of Buying Wine at Sotheby’s’ in this Catalogue 

for further information. 

1. PROPERTY WITH NO VAT SYMBOL 

Where there is no VAT symbol, Sotheby’s is 

able to use the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme 

and VAT will not normally be charged on the 

hammer price. 

Sotheby’s must bear VAT on the buyer’s 

premium and hence will charge an amount in lieu 

of VAT at the standard rate on this premium. 

This amount will form part of the buyer’s 

premium on our invoice and will not be separately 

identifi ed. 

Please see ‘Exports from the European 

Union’ for the conditions to be fulfi lled before the 

amount in lieu of VAT in the buyer’s premium 

may be refunded. 

(VAT-registered buyers from within the 

European Union (EU) should note that the 

amount in lieu of VAT contained within the 

buyer’s premium cannot be cancelled or refunded 

by Sotheby’s or HM Revenue and Customs.) 

(VAT-registered buyers from within the 

EU requiring an invoice under the normal VAT 

rules, instead of a margin scheme invoice, should 

notify the Post Sale Service Group or the Client 

Accounts Department on the day of the auction 

and an invoice with VAT on the hammer price 

will be raised. Buyers requiring reinvoicing under 

the normal VAT rules subsequent to a margin 

scheme invoice having been raised should 

contact the Client Accounts Department for 

assistance.) 

2. PROPERTY WITH A SYMBOL 

These items will be sold under the normal UK 

VAT rules and VAT will be charged at the 

standard rate on both the hammer price and 

buyer’s premium. 

Please see ‘Exports from the European 

Union’ for the conditions to be fulfi lled before 

the VAT charged on the hammer price may be 

refunded. 

(VAT-registered buyers from other EU 

countries may have the VAT cancelled or 

refunded if they provide Sotheby’s with their 

VAT registration number and evidence that the 

property has been removed from the UK within 

three months of the date of sale. The evidence of 

+44 (0)20 7293 5000 SOTHEBYS.COM I 129

emoval required is a certifi cate of shipment or, if 

the lots were carried by hand, proof of travel and 

completion of a form available from the Post Sale 

Service Group.) 

3. PROPERTY WITH ASYMBOL 

These items are in bond. The buyer has a choice 

of taking the item in bond (with the sale being 

made in bond) or taking the item duty paid. 

Bidding is at in bond prices. 

If taken in bond, VAT will not be charged on 

the hammer price. VAT will be charged at the 

standard rate on the buyer’s premium. 

If taken duty paid, duty at the current rate 

and bond clearance charges, equivalent to the 

standard rate of VAT on the hammer price 

plus duty, will be added to the buyer’s invoice. 

Unless notifi ed otherwise at the time of sale, 

EU residents will receive a duty paid invoice. 

Buyers requiring their wine in bond must arrange 

collection of their wine either by a shipper with a 

bond movement guarantee or by a registered tax 

warehouse if the wine is to remain in the UK. If the 

buyer subsequently removes the wine from bond 

the buyer will be responsible for duty, clearance, 

delivery, VAT and any other charges that may 

apply from the date of the sale. 

If taken duty paid, when Sotheby’s releases 

the property to buyers in the UK, the buyer must 

pay Sotheby’s duty at the current rate and import 

VAT at the standard rate on the hammer price + 

duty which may not be cancelled or refunded by 

Sotheby’s. VAT will be charged at the standard 

rate on the buyers premium. 

(VAT - registered buyers from the UK 

should note that the invoice issued by Sotheby’s 

showing import VAT payable, is not suitable 

evidence for recovering that VAT. In order to 

recover this as input tax, a VAT registered buyer 

must purchase the wine in bond and clear it under 

his own name and VAT number. HM Revenue 

and Customs will then issue a Form C79 which is 

acceptable evidence for recovering the VAT as 

input tax subject to the normal rules.) 

(All business buyers from outside the UK 

should refer to ‘VAT Refunds from HM Revenue 

and Customs’ for information on how to recover 

VAT incurred on the buyer’s premium). 

4. PROPERTY SOLD WITH ASYMBOL 

These lots will be sold in bond. VAT will not 

be charged on the hammer price. VAT will 

be charged at the standard rate on the buyer’s 

premium. 

Wines will be transferred in bond to the 

purchaser upon payment. Sotheby’s do not o er 

the facility of clearing the wines to duty paid. 

Delivery is not available. 

(All business buyers from outside the UK 

should refer to ‘VAT Refunds from HM Revenue 

and Customs’ for information on how to recover 

VAT incurred on the buyer’s premium.) 

5. EXPORTS FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION 

The following amounts of VAT may be cancelled 

or refunded provided Sotheby’s receive the 

appropriate export documents within the time 

limits stated: 

Property with no VAT symbol (see paragraph 1) 

The amount in lieu of VAT charged on 

Buyers Premium may be refunded provided the 

purchaser resides outside of the United Kingdom 

and the property is exported from the EU within 

3 months of the sale. Sotheby’s must be provided 

with the appropriate proof of export immediately 

after export of the goods. 

Property with a † symbol 

130 I +44 (0)20 7293 5000 SOTHEBYS.COM 

The amount of VAT charged upon the 

hammer price may be refunded provided the 

purchaser resides outside of the United Kingdom 

and the property is exported from the EU within 

3 months of the sale. Sotheby’s must be provided 

with the appropriate proof of export immediately 

after export of the goods. 

• Sotheby’s is not able to cancel or refund any 

VAT charged on sales made to UK or EU private 

residents. 

• any refund of VAT is subject to a minimum of 

£50 per shipment and a processing charge of £20. 

Please note that where wine is o ered in bond 

the only way to avoid paying UK VAT on the 

hammer price is to export the wine under bond. 

6. VAT REFUNDS FROM HM REVENUE AND 

CUSTOMS 

Where VAT charged cannot be cancelled or 

refunded by Sotheby’s, it may be possible to seek 

repayment from HM Revenue and Customs. 

Repayments in this manner are limited to 

businesses located outside the UK.

7. SALES AND USES TAXES 

Buyers from outside the UK should note that 

local sales taxes or use taxes may become 

payable upon import of items following purchase 

(for example, the Use Tax payable on import of 

purchased items to certain states of the USA). 

Buyers should obtain their own advice in this 

regard.

Seller. A sale contract is made directly between 

the Seller and the Buyer. However, Sotheby’s 

may own a lot (and in such circumstances acts in 

a principal capacity as Seller) and/or may have a 

legal, benefi cial or fi nancial interest in a lot as a

Further information is contained in the VAT and 

Other Tax Information for Buyers at Wine Sales. 

3. DUTIES OF BIDDERS AND OF 

SOTHEBY’S IN RESPECT OF ITEMS FOR SALE 

(a) Sotheby’s knowledge in relation to each lot 

is partially dependent on information provided 

to it by the Seller, and Sotheby’s is not able to 

and does not carry out exhaustive due diligence 

on each lot. Bidders acknowledge this fact and 

accept responsibility for carrying out inspections 

and investigations to satisfy themselves as to the 

lots in which they may be interested. 

(b) Each lot o ered for sale at Sotheby’s is 

available for inspection by Bidders prior to the 

sale. Sotheby’s accepts bids on lots solely on the 

basis that Bidders (and independent experts on 

their behalf, to the extent appropriate given the 

nature and value of the lot and the Bidder’s own 

expertise) have fully inspected the lot prior to 

bidding and have satisfi ed themselves as to both 

the condition of the lot and the accuracy of its 

description. 

(c) Bidders acknowledge that many lots are 

of an age and type which means that they are 

not in perfect condition. All lots are o ered 

for sale in the condition they are in at the time 

of the auction (whether or not Bidders are in 

attendance at the auction). Condition reports 

may be available to assist when inspecting lots. 

Catalogue descriptions and condition reports 

may on occasions make reference to particular 

imperfections of a lot, but Bidders should note 

that lots may have other faults not expressly 

referred to in the catalogue or condition report. 

Illustrations are for identifi cation purposes only 

and will not convey full information as to the 

actual condition of lots. 

(d) Information provided to Bidders in respect 

of any lot, including any estimate, whether 

written or oral and including information in any 

catalogue, condition or other report, commentary 

or valuation, is not a representation of fact but 

rather is a statement of opinion genuinely held 

by Sotheby’s. Any estimate may not be relied 

on as a prediction of the selling price or value of 

the lot and may be revised from time to time in 

Sotheby’s absolute discretion. 

(e) No representations or warranties are made 

by Sotheby’s or the Seller as to whether any lot 

is subject to copyright or whether the Buyer 

acquires copyright in any lot. 

(f) Subject to the matters referred to at 3(a) 

to 3(e) above and to the specifi c exclusions 

contained at Condition 4 below, Sotheby’s shall 

exercise such reasonable care when making 

express statements in catalogue descriptions 

or condition reports as is consistent with its 

role as auctioneer of lots in the sale to which 

these Conditions relate, and in the light of (i) 

the information provided to it by the Seller; (ii) 

scholarship and technical knowledge; and (iii) 

the generally accepted opinions of relevant 

experts, in each case at the time any such express 

statement is made. 

(g) Bidders agree that Noortman may bid for 

and/or purchase any lot. 

4. EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF 

LIABILITY TO BUYERS 

(a) Sotheby’s shall refund the Purchase Price to 

the Buyer in circumstances where it deems that 

the lot is a Counterfeit and each of the conditions 

of the Authenticity Guarantee has been satisfi ed. 

(b) In the light of the matters in Condition 3 

above and subject to Conditions 4(a) and 4(e), 

neither any Sotheby’s Company nor the Seller: 

(i) is liable for any errors or omissions in 

information provided to Bidders by Sotheby’s (or 

any Sotheby’s Company), whether orally or in 

writing, whether negligent or otherwise, except as 

set out in Condition 3(f) above; 

(ii) gives any guarantee or warranty to Bidders 

and any implied warranties and conditions are 

excluded (save in so far as such obligations 

cannot be excluded by law) other than the 

express warranties given by the Seller to the 

Buyer in Condition 2 of the Sellers’ Conditions of 

Business; 

(iii) accepts responsibility to any Bidders in 

respect of acts or omissions (whether negligent 

or otherwise) by Sotheby’s in connection with the 

conduct of auctions or for any matter relating to 

the sale of any lot (including the act of permitting 

Noortman to bid for and/or purchase any lot).

(c) Unless Sotheby’s owns a lot o ered for 

sale, it is not responsible for any breach of these 

conditions by the Seller; 

(d) Without prejudice to Condition 4(b), any 

claim against Sotheby’s or the Seller by a Bidder 

is limited to the Purchase Price with regard to that 

lot. Neither Sotheby’s nor the Seller shall under 

any circumstances be liable for any consequential 

losses. 

(e) None of this Condition 4 shall exclude or limit 

Sotheby’s liability in respect of any fraudulent 

misrepresentation made by Sotheby’s or the 

Seller, or in respect of death or personal injury 

caused by the negligent acts or omissions of 

Sotheby’s or the Seller. 

5. BIDDING AT AUCTION 

(a) Sotheby’s has absolute discretion to refuse 

admission to the auction. Bidders must complete 

a Paddle Registration Form and supply such 

information and references as required by 

Sotheby’s. Bidders act as principal unless they 

have Sotheby’s prior written consent to bid as 

agent for another party. Bidders are personally 

liable for their bid and are jointly and severally 

liable with their principal if bidding as agent. 

(b) Sotheby’s advises Bidders to attend the 

auction but will seek to carry out absentee written 

bids which are in pounds sterling and, in Sotheby’s 

opinion, clear and received su ciently in advance 

of the sale of the lot, endeavouring to ensure 

that the fi rst received of identical written bids has 

priority. 

(c) Where available, written, telephone and 

online bids are o ered as an additional service 

for no extra charge, at the Bidder’s risk and shall 

be undertaken with reasonable care subject to 

Sotheby’s other commitments at the time of 

the auction, Sotheby’s therefore cannot accept 

liability for failure to place such bids save where 

such failure is unreasonable. Telephone and 

online bids may be recorded. Online bids are 

made subject to the Conditions for Live Online 

Bidding available on Sotheby’s website or upon 

request. The Conditions for Live Online Bidding 

apply in relation to online bids, in addition to 

these Conditions of Business. 

6. CONDUCT OF THE AUCTION 

(a) Unless otherwise specifi ed, all lots are o ered 

subject to a Reserve, which shall be no higher than 

the low presale estimate at the time of the auction. 

(b) The auctioneer has discretion at any time to 

refuse any bid, withdraw any lot, re-o er a lot for 

sale (including after the fall of the hammer) if he 

believes there may be error or dispute, and take 

such other action as he reasonably thinks fi t. 

(c) The auctioneer will commence and advance 

the bidding at levels and in increments he 

considers appropriate and is entitled to place a 

bid or series of bids on behalf of the Seller up 

to the Reserve on the lot, without indicating he 

is doing so and whether or not other bids are 

placed. 

(d) Subject to Condition 6(b), the contract 

between the Buyer and the Seller is concluded 

on the striking of the auctioneer’s hammer, 

whereupon the Buyer becomes liable to pay the 

Purchase Price. 

(e) Any post-auction sale of lots o ered at 

auction shall incorporate these terms as if sold in 

the auction. 

7. PAYMENT AND COLLECTION 

(a) Unless otherwise agreed, payment of the 

Purchase Price for a lot and any Buyer’s Expenses 

are due by the Buyer in Pounds Sterling 

immediately on conclusion of the auction (the 

“Due Date”) notwithstanding any requirements 

for export, import or other permits for such lot. 

(b) Title in a purchased lot will not pass until 

Sotheby’s has received the Purchase Price 

and Buyer’s Expenses for that lot in cleared 

funds. Sotheby’s is not obliged to release a lot 

to the Buyer until title in the lot has passed and 

appropriate identifi cation has been provided, and 

any earlier release does not a ect the passing of 

title or the Buyer’s unconditional obligation to 

pay the Purchase Price and Buyer’s Expenses. 

(c) The Buyer is obliged to arrange collection of 

purchased lots no later than thirty (30) calendar 

days after the date of the auction. Purchased 

lots are at the Buyer’s risk (and therefore their 

sole responsibility for insurance) from the earliest 

of i) collection or ii) the thirty-fi rst calendar day 

after the auction. Until risk passes, Sotheby’s will 

compensate the Buyer for any loss or damage 

to the lot up to a maximum of the Purchase 

Price paid. Buyers should note that Sotheby’s 

assumption of liability for loss or damage is 

subject to the exclusions set out in Condition 6 of 

the Conditions of Business for Sellers. 

(d) For all items stored by a third party and not 

available for collection from Sotheby’s premises, 

the supply of authority to release to the Buyer 

shall constitute collection by the Buyer. 

(e) All packing and handling is at the Buyer’s 

risk. Sotheby’s will not be liable for any acts or 

omissions of third party packers or shippers. 

8. REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT 

Without prejudice to any rights the Seller may 

have, if the Buyer without prior agreement fails 

to make payment for the lot within fi ve days of 

the auction, Sotheby’s may in its sole discretion 

(having informed the Seller) exercise one or more 

of the following remedies: 

(a) store the lot at its premises or elsewhere at 

the Buyer’s sole risk and expense; 

(b) cancel the sale of the lot; 

(c) set o any amounts owed to the Buyer by a 

Sotheby’s Company against any amounts owed 

to Sotheby’s by the Buyer in respect of the lot; 

(d) apply any payments made to Sotheby’s 

by the buyer as part of the Purchase Price and 

Buyer’s expenses towards that or any other lot 

purchased by the Buyer, or to any shortfall on the 

resale of any lot pursuant to paragraph (h) below, 

or to any damages su ered by Sotheby’s as a 

result of breach of contract by the Buyer; 

(e) reject future bids from the Buyer or render 

such bids subject to payment of a deposit; 

(f) charge interest at 6% per annum above 

HSBC Bank plc Base Rate from the Due Date to 

the date the Purchase Price and relevant Buyer’s 

Expenses are received in cleared funds; 

(g) exercise a lien over any of the Buyer’s 

property which is in the possession of a Sotheby’s 

Company. Sotheby’s shall inform the Buyer of 

the exercise of any such lien and within 14 days of 

such notice may arrange the sale of such property 

and apply the proceeds to the amount owed to 

Sotheby’s; 

(h) resell the lot by auction or private sale, with 

estimates and reserves at Sotheby’s discretion. In 

the event such resale is for less than the Purchase 

Price and Buyer’s Expenses for that lot, the Buyer 

will remain liable for the shortfall together with all 

costs incurred in such resale; 

(i) commence legal proceedings to recover the 

Purchase Price and Buyer’s Expenses for that 

lot, together with interest and the costs of such 

proceedings on a full indemnity basis; or 

(i) release the name and address of the Buyer 

to the Seller to enable the Seller to commence 

legal proceedings to recover the amounts due 

and legal costs. Sotheby’s will take reasonable 

steps to notify the Buyer prior to releasing such 

details to the Seller. 

9. FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES 

(a) If the Buyer pays the Purchase Price and 

Buyer’s Expenses but fails to collect a purchased 

lot within thirty (30) calendar days of the auction, 

the lot will be stored at the Buyer’s risk and 

expense at Sotheby’s or with a third party. 

(b) If a purchased lot is paid for but not collected 

within six months of the auction, the Buyer 

authorises Sotheby’s, having given notice to the 

Buyer to arrange a resale of the item by auction 

or private sale, with estimates and reserves at 

Sotheby’s discretion. The proceeds of such 

sale, less all costs incurred by Sotheby’s, will be 

forfeited unless collected by the Buyer within two 

years of the original auction. 

10. EXPORTS AND PERMITS

GUIDE FOR ABSENTEE BIDDERS 

ABSENTEE BIDS 

If you are unable to attend an auction in person, you may give Sotheby’s Bid 

Department instructions to bid on your behalf. We will then try to purchase 

the lot or lots of your choice for the lowest price possible, and never for more 

than the top amount you indicate. This service is free and confi dential. Please 

note: although we will make every e ort, Sotheby’s will not be responsible for 

error or failure to execute bids. Absentee bids, when placed by telephone, are 

accepted only at the caller’s risk and must be confi rmed by letter or fax. Fax 

number for bids only: +44 (0)20 7293 6255. 

USING THE ABSENTEE BID FORM 

Please use the form provided and be sure to record accurately the lot 

numbers, descriptions and the top hammer price you are willing to pay for 

each lot. “Buy” or unlimited bids will not be accepted. Alternative bids can be 

placed by using the word “OR” between lot numbers. Bids must be placed in 

the same order as the lots appear in the catalogue. 

Each absentee bid form should contain bids for one sale only; the sale number 

and code name should appear at the top of the form. Please place your bids 

as early as possible. In the event of identical bids, the earliest received will take 

precedence. Where appropriate your bids will be rounded down to the nearest 

amount consistent with the Auctioneer’s bidding increments. 

SUCCESSFUL BIDS 

Successful bidders will receive an invoice detailing their purchases and giving 

instructions for payment and clearance of goods. 

Please note that we may contact new clients to request a bank reference. 

Sotheby’s will require sight of Government issued I.D. and proof of address 

prior to collection of purchases (do not send originals).
