4 WHAT I VE LEARNED: MICHAEL BROADBENT M.W. The legendary specialist, critic and Master of Wine responsible for launching wine auctions at Christie s 50 years ago shares his life lessons over a glass or two of fne Madeira I learned to pay attention to my mother s advice. She was a tremendous infuence on my career she always had the right ideas at the right time. All I was interested in as a boy was cycling, playing the piano and girls. But because I could draw, my mother thought that architecture could be a good idea. So I went to study architecture at University College London. Ultimately, you need to be engaged with your subject matter. And gradually I became less and less interested in architecture and more and more interested in drawing. I was very idle. I remember sitting in an exam room for a paper on engineering, looking at the questions on the paper, and realising I couldn t answer any of them. So I walked out. The next day it was sanitation and drainage, and I always felt that was beneath me. I couldn t go on. I knew nothing about wine we drank it at home but only on special occasions. I was never going to make a career out of art, and luckily my mother came to the rescue again. She saw an advertisement in The Times goodness knows how, since we took the Manchester Guardian and the Oldham Chronicle for a trainee at Laytons Wine Merchant. Tommy Layton was irascible and impossible to work with but we got on terribly well. I spent a year with him, sweeping the cellar and driving the van. My salary was 300 a year and I lived in a basement fat on Wimpole Street for 13 a month. Tommy Layton gave me a piece of advice which I didn t realise would be so important at the time. He told me that whenever I tasted a wine, I should make a note. So on September 13, 1952, I did just that. I started with a small red lined notebook, and now I have 150 of them, containing 90,000 notes. I was very meticulous I noted down the date, the wine, its appearance, nose and taste. And I continued with the same method throughout my career. The notes were enormously useful to me. They eventually became a book, Vintage Wine, which sold 80,000 copies in its frst edition, and made me 40,000. It was a great success, because nobody else could do this no one else had that experience. And fortunately, I had always made an index. I immediately felt very comfortable with wine. I ended up as sales director at Harvey s, which was based on the corner of King Street and St James s Street, and I used to walk past Christie s and look in at all the pictures for art auctions every week, to see what was on. Then one day someone mentioned that Christie s was thinking of starting wine auctions. So I wrote to the chairman, Peter Chance, saying that I thought the market was right; that he would need a staf of six; that the chap in charge should earn 3,000 a year and be aged between 35 and 40; and that the frst year we could do 250,000 in sales, the second year 500,000, and the third year 1 million. Peter looked like an old army colonel bluf, red-faced and bad-tempered but he became a great friend. The fgures were taken from the top of my head but that s almost exactly what happened. You don t have to be best friends with your colleagues. After I d been taken on, we were joined by Alan Taylor-Restell, a very good third-generation wine auctioneer, who was readymade for the job. We didn t get on, but it worked. It was like Gilbert and Sullivan. I did the editing of the catalogue and the promotion; he did the nuts and bolts and the auctioneering. I wondered for years if he didn t rather resent this. He was very eficient; I was the entrepreneur. You don t necessarily need correct training to be an auctioneer. Nobody had any training at Christie s. I was eventually pushed into the box at the end of the frst season July I had no experience, or prior notice, just what I d observed. I was terrifed, I felt almost sick with nerves. But I realised very quickly that I loved it. Never in a million years did I imagine the market for investment wines would become what it is today. I had no thought of wine as an investment tool. It didn t occur to me was the vintage that changed everything. [The American wine critic] Robert Parker rated it highly and he was a big infuence in America, in particular. I thoroughly disapprove of his scoring method how can a wine be 95 points? It depends when and where you drink it, how it s been kept. He favoured a very ripe, alcoholic style of wine, which was anathema to me, but he was good for getting America into wine. If I could have any wine tonight it would be the Terrantez 1846 the fnest Madeira I ve ever drunk. I m also rather fond of vintage Port from 1927 my birth year although they re getting a bit tired now. 2 FINEST & RAREST WINES & SPIRITS

5 Judging wines is like judging people you mustn t be too hasty to make a pronouncement. There was one sale in the early 1970s when some of the best wines were being bought by a group of three men whom I found rather uncouth. They hadn t registered beforehand, so midway through the sale I stopped and asked them for a card. When they demurred, I said I wouldn t take any more bids from them and asked them to leave. Later that afternoon, the phone rang, and a voice on the other end said: This is a lawyer acting for Andrew Lloyd Webber. My heart sank. I was called in by the chairman, who went blue in the face and said to me: Broadbent, we are public auctioneers; you cannot choose your business. I was given a terrible ticking of. I contacted Lloyd Webber shortly afterwards and we actually ended up becoming very good friends. I only really felt I became an auctioneer when I went to America. I was the frst Christie s auctioneer to take auctions to the US, in 1969; and it was then that I really started enjoying it. I d never been to the US before, but I felt terribly at home, and enjoyed it. So long as I d done my homework on the catalogue, I was fne. Doing your homework is important. I appeared on TV with David Frost in America once, to talk about wine. We were due to open an 1844 Port, but I hadn t inspected the bottle properly beforehand, and the corkscrew wasn t very good it was an old cork, and I just couldn t get it out. The camera was rolling, and eventually I pushed the cork down and had to pour it like vinegar on fsh and chips. It was very embarrassing. Publicity is important I always understood publicity. Christie s had never understood how much publicity I got for them both in America and afterwards, when I started writing wine articles, which always appeared under the Christie s name. I should have charged commission! I wrote a column for Decanter magazine for 25 years. I always used to write it in bed on a Sunday morning. I m a creature of habit. I have a Bucks Fizz every morning with breakfast, though not always with the same Champagne. Sometimes it ll be Pol Roger; sometimes just a Blanquette de Limoux. It adds a little pep. At Christie s, I used to have a little elevenses a small mid-morning glass of Madeira. It was much better than the cofee.

7 Lot 12 Massandra- The Tsar s Private Cellar Fortifed and dessert wines from the Massandra Winery have a long imperial history. Built in the late 19th century the winery was intended for the production of wines for the Tsar s Summer Palace, the Livadia. Such was the imperial scale of the venture; the cellars were dug over three years, with 21 tunnels with shafts to regulate the temperature. Prince Lev Sergervich Golitzin was hired as winemaker. He was a master blender, creating delicious and long-lasting wines in Sherry, Port and sweet wine styles. He was not a meticulous note-keeper however and his legendary blends Honey of Altae Pastures and Seventh Heaven remain enigmatic mysteries that could not be re-created by his successors at the winery. Stalin and the Red Army stormed the winery, which had been skilfully bricked up, in the early 1920 s and stocks would have been destroyed had Stalin himself not tasted the wines and decided to preserve the wines for future generations. Wines that had been discovered in the Tsar s cellars in the Winter Palace, the Grand Kremlin Palace and the Livadia were moved by the Red Army to the Massandra Winery to add to the collection. In 1941 the Winery put in place an evacuation plan for the collection to save it becoming Nazi loot. Each bottle was marked with an evacuation number and moved to a safe haven until 1944 when it was safely returned to its home at the Winery. The 1941 vintage was an unfortunate casualty of war, being in vat at the time of the Nazi invasion Aleksander Yegorov the director of Massandra ordered the vats to be tipped into the Black Sea to save it from Nazi pillage. A range of Massandra wines are ofered here, including the uber-rare 19th century blends of Prince Golitzin. Exceptional samples of Lacrima Christi 1894 made from the Aleatico grape variety are included. The 20th century is represented by the elegant liqueur wine Ai-Danil Pinot-Gris, unique vintage bottles of White made from Muscat Frontignac and Muscat Lunel and beautiful examples of Massandra Madeira. Tasting notes by David Molyneux-Berry MW from June 1989: 1894 Massandra Red Port Tasting note: Beautiful old tawny colour with green yellow edge. Rich, ripe fruit bouquet, mature port at its best. A rich, long mouthflling wine with still retaining excellent sugar. A very fne long aftertaste helped by an excellent high acidity. Really beautiful *Livadia Red Port Tasting note: Deep mahogany iodine colour. Big powerful ripe fruit nose. A very rich, sweet, long mouthflling harmonious palate, extremely well balanced. Very long on the fnish and aftertaste. This is splendid wine Prince Golitzin Lacrima Christi As its name suggest this was made by Prince Golitzin and there are only three known vintages, the 1894 being the oldest. A particular favorite of the Court it was no longer made after Golitzin s death in The grape variety used was Aleatico. Now more than 100 years old these wines will outlive us all. Tasting note: Deep mahogany colour, less red than some, with fne yellow rim tinged with green. A concentrated deep pronounced nose, excellent aroma. The palate has a long, rich concentrated favor with lovely balancing acidity, excellent aftertaste. Another extraordinarily brilliant wine Prince Golitzin The Honey of Altae Pastures An extraordinary wine of which little is known. Its sheer concentration and beauty suggest it was made for a specifc purpose but there are no records to confrm this. This is believed to be the wine served at the coronation of Tsar Nicolas II although this is dificult to substantiate. Tasting note: Fabulous full deep yellow tawny with intense yellow rim. Slightly lighter than the 1880 Seventh Heaven but quite beautiful. Highly concentrated, soft, warm, ripe bouquet. One can actually smell honey. Intensely sweet, with a beautiful balance of sugar, fruit and cofee favours. Palate seems to last forever, lovely balancing acidity. Sensational Massandra Madeira Massandra Madeira is matured in cask left in the sun on ullage for between four to fve years to develop a full maderisation that make these wines so distinctive. Made from Sercial (40-50%), Verdelho (40-45%) and Albillo Krymsky (5-20%). Tasting note: Deep ochre/apricot. Classic oily madeira nose. Quite interesting palate, developed in the glass, getting richer. Good fnish Massandra Madeira Tasting note: Pale old gold/apricot colour with slight touch of brown. Full deep nose, reminiscent of meat extact, some complexity, good madeira palate with high acidity and good oily character, long fnish and after taste. Typical of a mature Verdelho with some sugar but not much. Good example. 5

Levels into neck Tasting note: One of the greatest clarets of all time, certainly the most distinctive. Dozens of notes made since 1954, 10 within the last 2 years. Virtually identical notes made in the autumn of 2005: still impressively deep with a jewel-like ruby sheen; inimitably exotic bouquet, an eruption of spice, eucalyptus, lavender and violets; amazingly sweet, wonderful fruit, concentrated yet vivacious, crisp, endless length. Still tannic. Last tasted November 2005 ****** Seemingly indestructible. M.B. 6 bottles per lot 100, , , ,000 17

21 90 Château Cheval-Blanc 1947 Saint-Émilion, 1er grand cru classé (A) In Château, wooden case. Reconditioned at the Château 2011 / 2012 Tasting note: Not only the most famous 47 but, at its best, one of the greatest Bordeaux of all time. Well over two dozen notes. Impressive in the late 1950s but needing more time. Ecstatic notes through the 1960s and at its zenith in the 1990s. But it does vary. Some I have noted as mammoth, almost port-like and lacking charm, but mainly faultless. By 2002 its original opacity less deep; distinctly sweet, rich, even minty. Most recently a perfect bottle: beautiful colour, still lively; with blissful fragrance, rich, superb; very sweet, perfect weight and balance. Last tasted June At best ****** (six stars).

Level upper-shoulder 1 jeroboam per lot 15,000-20,000 17,000-22,000 Château Latour Château Latour manages to achieve a rare stylistic balance, in that its wines are internationally known for both their elegance and purity of linear fruit favour, and for their power, muscularity and heroic longevity. Few wines age with such consummate grace as those of Château Latour. These wines are highly tannic in youth, and are famously distinctive in the way they mature slowly, and on their own terms; stubbornly refusing to succumb to the efects of the natural passing of time. The other great hallmark of Latour is its consistency the wines are consistently impressive, irrespective of whether the vintage is great, mediocre or even slightly disappointing. The 47 hectares which surround the Château are called l Enclos. Only the grapes from these 47 hectares make it into the Grand Vin de Château Latour. The soils vary from clayey gravel on a subsoil of marly sediment, gravelly sands with small pebbles and marly clay which suits Merlot. All the soils are characterised by excellent drainage which encourages the vines to develop deep roots in search of nutrients and water. Frédéric Engerer, the President, along with the vineyard manager, Domingo Sanchez and the cellar-master, Pierre-Henri Chabot have ensured that grape selection is paramount, and only grapes from vines that are at least 25 years old are allowed into the Grand Vin. Hand harvesting and a frst sorting are carried out by 200 pickers, before being transported to the winery for the second round of sorting and destemming. The winery contains 66 temperature controlled stainless steel vats which enables the separate vinifcation of diferent plots. By December the wine is in new oak barrels, where it remains for about 18 months with rackings about every three months. Blending is completed by March the following year, with fning with egg white, but since 1999 there is no fltration and the wine is retuned to vat for a month prior to bottling. As Stephen Brook writes in The Complete Bordeaux ; No other Médoc wine can match Latour for power, depth of favour, and grandeur. 92 Château Haut-Brion 1961 Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé In new wooden case.

38 135 Château Margaux There have been moments or startling brilliance, such as the monumental 1945 or 1953 vintages and since the Mentzelopoulos family took over in the late 1970 s the wines have been on magnifcent form; the wines from the 1980 s and 1990 s are nothing short of spectacular. The wines of Château Margaux are celebrated for their elegance and fnesse and for their inimitable fragrance. The Ginestet family became majority shareholders of the Château in In 1977 Pierre Ginestet decided to sell the property to André Mentzelopoulos for the sum of 72 million francs. André invested heavily in the Château. In the vineyards, new drainage systems were installed and new vines were planted. Improvements were made in the cellar in conjunction with the oenologist Emile Peynaud who helped with the reintroduction of Pavillon Rouge. The success of the 1978 vintage was testament to the hard work and investment undertaken at the property and the high quality reputation of Château Margaux was rapidly re-established. Following his untimely death in 1980, André s daughter, Corinne, and widow Laura took over the running of the estate. Paul Pontallier was appointed Director and since 1983 they have worked tirelessly to promote and ensure the smooth running of the property. Paul Pontallier sadly passed away in The majority of the vineyards are on deep gravel and gravely clay soils which are ideally suited to Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot is planted on soils which have higher content of clay and limestone. Average yields are around 40 hectolitres per hectare. The grapes are strictly sorted in the vineyard by highly trained pickers. The wine is aged for between eighteen to twenty four months in new medium-toast barriques, the majority of which are made by the estate s own cooper.

In 1935 Haut-Brion was bought by the American banker, Clarence Dillon and since 2008 his great-grandson, His Royal Highness Prince Robert of Luxembourg is the current President. The contribution of the Delmas family should be mentioned as the family have been involved in the property since 1923, when George Delmas was employed to administer the estate. Subsequently he was succeeded in 1961 by his son Jean-Bernard, and then by his son, Jean-Philippe in Jean-Bernard pioneered the use of stainless steel, and in 1961 Haut-Brion became the frst major Bordeaux estate to vinify in stainless steel. Further improvements and investments have been instrumental in retaining its reputation of producing one of the fnest wines in the world, of both red and dry white wines. In 1983 the Dillons acquired the next door property La Mission Haut-Brion. The average age of the vines is over 35 years, with some vines dating from the 1930 s, and a vine density of 8,000 vines per hectare. The 48 hectares planted to red grapes consists of 45.4% Merlot 43.9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9.7% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. The red grapes are sorted in the vineyard, then brought to the winery and destemmed, lightly crushed to break open the skins and pumped into tanks. Indigenous yeasts are used for the alcoholic fermentation and the temperature is carefully controlled. Maceration lasts for approximately 15 days. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally due to the presence of natural lactic bacteria in the chai. The wines from diferent vats are blended and then transferred to approximately 80% new oak barrels for between 18 to 22 months. Haut-Brion has its own cooperage which ensures that the Château has complete control over the toasting of the barrels, which is normally medium-minus. The Haut Brion Blanc is produced from 2.87 Hectares planted with 52.6% Sémillon and 47.4% Sauvignon Blanc. The wine is fermented in oak casks and matured for between nine and twelve months in approximately 50% new oak. Production is very small with between only 450 and 650 cases depending on the vintage. 165 Château Pichon-Longueville, Lalande 1995 Bin-soiled, slightly damaged labels.

At the beginning of the 20th Century, the Arnauds founded La Société Civile du Château Pétrus, ofering shares in the company to the public. Madame Loubat, wife of the owner of the Hôtel Loubat in Libourne, began to acquire shares in 1925, and by 1949, she owned the domaine outright. The estate was passed down to two nieces in 1961; Mme. Lily Lacoste and Mme. Lignac. In 1943 Jean-Pierre Moueix became their sole agent and in 1969 bought a majority share from Mme. Lignac. In the same year the estate was increased with the purchase of four hectares from neighbouring Château Gazin. Today Petrus is owned by Jean-François Moueix. The vineyard is located in Pomerol on a plateau dominated by iron-rich (crasse de fer) clay soils that give the wines their structure and power. They are well drained due to a gentle slope. The clay content retains some water which reduces hydric stress and creates a cooler mesoclimate that is ideally suited to the early ripening Merlot. The average age of the vines is 45 years. The utmost care is taken in the vineyard, with strict green harvesting to limit yields and helicopters have even been rented to dry out the vines at harvest time after wet spells. Grapes are picked early to retain acidity which provides freshness, fnesse and elegance to the wines rather than baked jammy favours that can sometimes be a result of later harvesting. Grapes are sorted twice, then destemmed and fermented in cement vats, although since 2005 two stainless steel tanks were added to the winery which has increased the options for parcel selections. Generally indigenous yeasts are used, although cultured yeasts are also considered as an option. Vinifcation is traditional with pumping over and malolactic fermentation taking place in tank, and the press wine is kept apart until January when the quality is assessed and up to 7% might be blended back in. The wine spends about two years in (generally) new oak with rackings every three months, fning with egg-whites and fltered only when absolutely necessary. Petrus, unusually for Bordeaux is almost entirely Merlot as in practice Cabernet Franc is rarely included in the blend. Stephen Brook wrote in The Complete Bordeaux the name, Petrus conjures up Bordeaux at its most splendid, most rarifed, and most luxuriousé..

44 Château Mouton Rothschild In 1853 Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild bought Chateau Brane-Mouton and renamed it Mouton Rothschild. Baron Philippe de Rothschild became involved in the estate following the death in 1920 of Laura-Thérèse who had run the property after becoming widowed by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild. Baron Philippe de Rothschild worked tirelessly and drove innovations such as commissioning the artist Jean Carlu in 1924 to design a new label. In the same year he also bottled the entire vintage at the Château, a practice that had up until then been virtually unheard of, and is now universally adopted for all the Grand Vins. In 1945 to celebrate the Année de la Victoire he commissioned the artist Philippe Juillan to design the label which began the tradition of featuring a diferent artist on the label for each vintage that continues to this day (except for 1953 and 1977). Such famous names as Picasso, Kandinsky, Francis Bacon and Andy Warhol have featured on the labels and helped to strengthen the reputation of the Château. Artists have never been paid for their work, but have received Mouton Rothschild wine. Baron Philippe de Rothschild s main goal and achievement was the promotion of Chateau Mouton Rothschild to First-Growth status in Since his death in 1988 the estate has been managed by his daughter, Philippine until she passed away earlier this year. Their white wine Aile d Argent has been produced since 1991 and contains Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. The Second Wine, Le Petit Mouton which is produced from the youngest vines on the estate has been produced since For the Grand Vin the average age of vines is 44 years with a density of 10,000 per hectare planted on gravel soils. Vinifcation takes place in oak vats for between 15 and 25 days followed by maturation in oak barriques for between 19 and 22 months, the percentage of new barrels depends on the vintage. Annual production is approximately 300,000 bottles.

The vineyards of La Mission Haut-Brion are located across the road from Haut-Brion; however there are signifcant diferences between the two properties. The majority of the vineyards at La Mission are located in the Bordeaux suburb of Talence which is slightly fatter and the soil is slightly richer with a gravel soil over a sub-soil of chalky sand. Whereas the vineyards of Haut-Brion are located in nearby Pessac with a slightly lower density of planting. As Stephen Brook wrote in The Complete Bordeaux that the major diference is in the wine style with La Mission as more robust, more virile, more overtly tannic than Haut-Brion, and it doesn t easily match the fnesse of the First Growth. Although some critics consider that in certain vintages La Mission outshines its illustrious neighbour. La Mission has 26 hectares of red varietal vines planted with 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42.7% Merlot and 10.3% Cabernet Franc. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted in the vineyard on mobile sorting tables. The wine is fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel vats at an average temperature of 30 degrees and then matured in oak barriques (100% new) for 18 to 22 months. Annual production is approximately 100,000 bottles. The estate also produces a white wine, called La Mission Haut Brion Blanc (prior to 2009 this wine was called Laville Haut Brion) from their 2.55 hectares planted with white varietals, 85% Sémillon, 14% Sauvignon Blanc and 1% Muscadelle. The wine is fermented in oak casks and matured for between nine and twelve months in approximately 40 to 50% new oak.

U.S. import labels 48 bottles per lot Chateau Lafte-Rothschild The name Lafte comes from the Gascon language term la hite, which means hillock. The estate is situated at the northern end of Pauillac, close to Cos d Estournel which is just over the border in St-Estèphe. The vineyard consists of three major areas: the hillsides around the Château, the adjacent Carruades plateau to the west, and 4.5 hectares in neighboring Saint Estèphe (which is entitled to the Pauillac appellation). The well-drained soils are deep fne gravel up to 4 metres deep mixed with Aeolian sands on a bedrock of tertiary limestone. The best area is on slightly raised land known as the plateau which is just south of the chai where the gravel is very deep and has excellent drainage. Where there are dips in the land, Merlot is normally planted and drainage channels have had to be installed. There are many variations of aspects and soils and consequently the winemakers try and vinify as many lots separately as possible and the same vineyard workers are assigned the same parcels year after to year to ensure they have a deep understanding of the vines and terroir. The average age of the vines on the whole estate is 35 years old. There are some vines younger than 10 years old (about 20 hectares) which are not used in the Grand Vin. Therefore the average age of the vines used in the Grand Vin is 40 years. 18 hectares of vines are more than 50 years old and the oldest plot, called La Gravière, are over 120 years old, having been planted in Vine density ranges from 7,500 to 8,800 vines per hectare. The estate is run by a team that includes the technical director Charles Chevallier, wine maker Christophe Congé, assisted by the consultant oenologist, Jacques Boissenot and the vineyard manager Régis Porflet. Only minimal interventions of fertilizers are used. Yields are kept low and harvesting is done by hand in approximately 12 days by up to 350 pickers. Grapes are sorted in the vineyard before being brought in to the two reception bays where diferent plots are vinifed separately. Vinifcation takes place half in stainless steel tanks which are equipped with computerized temperature control and half in traditional oak vats, with no cold soak or pigeage. Malolactic fermentation also takes place in the vats before the wine is transferred into new oak barriques (the estate produces its own barrels in their cooperage- very little new oak is used for Carruades) where it remains for between 18 to 20 months until bottling normally in June. Approximately one third is destined for the Grand Vin; 40% for Carruades and the remainder is sold simply as Pauillac AC. Lafte is renowned for its fnesse and subtlety and is often considered as more accessible young than a Château Latour or Mouton Rothschild, as Stephen Brook in his book, The Complete Bordeaux summarised; for elegance choose Lafte. Château Lafte-Rothschild is part of the Domaines Barons de Rothschild Estate which also includes Château Duhart- Milon, Château Rieussec, Château L Evangile and a number of other properties in France, Chile and Argentina. 44 FINEST & RAREST WINES & SPIRITS

With the Richebourg and Grands Echézeaux appellations, DRC has for decades set the standard by which all others are measured. Since the early 1990 s the estate has been taking advice from Claude Bourguignon on the health of its soils. It has stopped using fertilisers, and now makes its own fermented compost which is spread on the land, according to need, to revitalize the soils microbiological activity and improve its texture. Magnesium is provided to help absorb old excess potassium dressings. Although the domaine does not use the word biological, those are its methods. The average age of the vines is most impressive. The estate was, I believe the frst to install a conveyor belt table for hand sorting unripe or rotten grapes in the vat-house, after grape-picking. Fermentation takes place in nine traditional, open-topped round or oval wooden vats, in respect of the four top wines. The Grands Echézeaux and Echézeaux have since 1989 fermented in eight rectangular, open topped, stainless steel box-vats equipped with automatic punching down. Since 1991 there have been diferent cellars for each vintage maturing in barrel, the second one being that under the old Marey-Monge buildings, at the foot of Romanée Saint Vivant by the church, where the natural temperate and humidity are excellent. In common with several other of Vosne s best estates (Henri Jayer, Méo Camuzet, Leroy) the DRC buys its barrels from Saint Romain cooper Francois Frères. However it invests in staves for three years natural drying and leaching in the rain, sun and open air, to ensure that its barrel wood is appropriately matured. The whole harvest has been put into new wood for the last ffteen to twenty years. This policy can result in markedly oaky wines in light vintages, if they are tasted when young, however the favours of long aged oak staves of the best possible origins subsequently seem to marry exceptionally beautifully with the vinosity of the individual wines. At diferent stages since the war the two families (de Villaine and Leroy) who own this domaine must have considered employing a full-time oenologist as wine-maker, yet set their faces against the idea. No doubt they have access to Burgundy s fnest in the same way that they can call on the services of Claude Bourguignon or Raymond Bernard whenever they need them. Overall responsibility at the domaine was for many years shared, as is well known, by Mme Bize-Leroy and Aubert de Villaine, and their joint actions often produced wonderful results. In 1991 Mme Bize-Leroy was ousted by the shareholders from her position as co-director, after disagreements over how the DRC wines were then being distributed. On the retirement of Andrew Noblet in 1984 responsibility for the vineyards fell to Gerard Marlot, splitting the DRC s vinicultural and wine-making activities into two, Noblet s son Bernard in due course becoming manager of vat-houses and cellars. But the overall wine-making responsibility lies, I believe with Aubert. Given the low yields that the domaine is now achieving given the involvement with its great sites and the given the experience of thirty years of DRC vintages under his belt, we can surely look forward to many spectacular and wonderful bottles from the coming years.

With the availability of domestically produced rum, the British changed the daily ration of liquor given to seamen from French brandy to rum. While the ration was originally given neat, or mixed with lime juice, the practice of watering down the rum began around To help minimize the effect of the alcohol on his sailors, Admiral Edward Vernon directed that the rum ration be watered down before being issued, a mixture which became known as grog. While it is widely believed that the term grog was coined at this time in honour of the cloak Admiral Vernon wore in rough weather, the term has been demonstrated to predate his famous orders, with probable origins in the West Indies, perhaps of African etymology. The Royal Navy continued to give its sailors a daily rum ration, known as a tot, until the practice was abolished after July 31, Today the rum ration is still issued on special occasions by H.M. Queen Elizabeth II. Recently, such occasions have been Royal marriages and birthdays, or other special anniversaries. Splice the main brace, in the days of the daily ration, meant double rations that day. Old Navy Rum Distilled in Jamaica around 50 to 60 years ago.

Such property is identified in the catalogue with the symbol next to its lot number. º Minimum Price Guarantees On occasion, Christie s has a direct financial interest in the outcome of the sale of certain lots consigned for sale. This will usually be where it has guaranteed to the Seller that whatever the outcome of the auction, the Seller will receive a minimum sale price for the work. This is known as a minimum price guarantee. Where Christie s holds such financial interest we identify such lots with the symbol º next to the lot number. º Third Party Guarantees/Irrevocable bids Where Christie s has provided a Minimum Price Guarantee it is at risk of making a loss, which can be significant, if the lot fails to sell. Christie s therefore sometimes chooses to share that risk with a third party. In such cases the third party agrees prior to the auction to place an irrevocable written bid on the lot. The third party is therefore committed to bidding on the lot and, even if there are no other bids, buying the lot at the level of the written bid unless there are any higher bids. In doing so, the third party takes on all or part of the risk of the lot not being sold. If the lot is not sold, the third party may incur a loss. Lots which are subject to a third party guarantee arrangement are identified in the catalogue with the symbol º. The third party will be remunerated in exchange for accepting this risk based on a fixed fee if the third party is the successful bidder or on the final hammer price in the event that the third party is not the successful bidder. The third party may also bid for the lot above the written bid. Where it does so, and is the successful bidder, the fixed fee for taking on the guarantee risk may be netted against the final purchase price. Third party guarantors are required by us to disclose to anyone they are advising their financial interest in any lots they are guaranteeing. However, for the avoidance of any doubt, if you are advised by or bidding through an agent on a lot identified as being subject to a third party guarantee you should always ask your agent to confirm whether or not he or she has a financial interest in relation to the lot. Other Arrangements Christie s may enter into other arrangements not involving bids. These include arrangements where Christie s has given the Seller an Advance on the proceeds of sale of the lot or where Christie s has shared the risk of a guarantee with a partner without the partner being required to place an irrevocable written bid or otherwise participating in the bidding on the lot. Because such arrangements are unrelated to the bidding process they are not marked with a symbol in the catalogue. Bidding by parties with an interest In any case where a party has a financial interest in a lot and intends to bid on it we will make a saleroom announcement to ensure that all bidders are aware of this. Such financial interests can include where beneficiaries of an Estate have reserved the right to bid on a lot consigned by the Estate or where a partner in a risk-sharing arrangement has reserved the right to bid on a lot and/or notified us of their intention to bid. Please see financialinterest/ for a more detailed explanation of minimum price guarantees and third party financing arrangements. Where Christie s has an ownership or financial interest in every lot in the catalogue, Christie s will not designate each lot with a symbol, but will state its interest in the front of the catalogue. BIDDING Bidding will be at duty-paid prices at per lot, unless a property is identified in the catalogue with the symbol next to the lot number. OPTIONS TO BUY PARCELS A parcel consists of several lots of the same wine of identical lot size, bottle size and description. Bidding will start on the first lot of the parcel and the successful buyer of that lot is entitled to take some or all of the remaining lots in the parcel at the same hammer price. If the buyer of the first lot does not take further lots, the remaining lots of the parcel will be offered in a similar fashion. We recommend that a bid on a parcel lot be placed on the first lot of the parcel. If the bid is superseded, Christie s will automatically move your bid to the next identical lot and so on. In all instances, such bids will be handled at the auctioneer s discretion. WINES SOLD IN BOND ONLY Bonded transfer certificates will be issued upon payment. United Kingdom purchasers will be responsible for duty, clearance, delivery and any other charges applicable from the date of sale. WINES OFFERED DUTY PAID Unless otherwise stated wines are offered duty paid and no excise duty or clearance VAT will be charged. WINES OFFERED IN BOND Wines marked with a symbol are in bond. You can choose to take these lots in bond or duty paid. Please note that if you choose to take these lots in bond the hammer price will be payable in full. We will not deduct excise duty from the hammer price. If you choose to take these lots duty paid excise duty at current rates and clearance VAT on the hammer price and duty will be added to your invoice. These charges cannot be cancelled or refunded by Christie s. Please see the additional conditions of sale for wine for further details. DELIVERIES (DUTY-PAID ONLY, U.K. MAINLAND) The carriage charge for all deliveries lying in cellars within the U.K. mainland is 15 per case or part case plus V.A.T. Wines lying at Christie s are available for collection after payment, providing that 24 hours notice is given. Not less than an entire lot can be collected or delivered to one address. DELIVERIES FOR OVERSEAS BUYERS Christie s will arrange delivery to buyers agents within the U.K. mainland. We work closely with all the major shipping companies and will be happy to advise clients upon the most appropriate shipper if required. CLASSIFICATIONS Bordeaux Classifications in the text are for identification purposes only and are based on the official 1855 classification of the Médoc and other standard sources. All wines are Château-bottled unless stated otherwise. RELEASE OF LOTS The issue of Christie s official Delivery Order will constitute delivery. ULLAGES AND CORKS OF OLD WINES Wines are described in this catalogue as correctly as can be ascertained at time of going to press, but buyers of old wines must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of cases, labels, corks and wine. No returns will be accepted. ULLAGE The amount by which level of wine is short of being full: these levels may vary according to age of the wines and, as far as can be ascertained by inspection prior to the sale, are described in the catalogue. 08/11/16 56

59 BUYING AT CHRISTIE S CONDITIONS OF SALE Christie s Conditions of Sale and Limited Warranty are set out later in this catalogue. Bidders are strongly encouraged to read these as they set out the terms on which property is bought at auction. ESTIMATES Estimates are based upon prices recently paid at auction for comparable property, condition, rarity, quality and provenance. Estimates are subject to revision. Buyers should not rely upon estimates as a representation or prediction of actual selling prices. Estimates do not include the buyer s premium or VAT. Where Estimate on Request appears, please contact the Specialist Department for further information. RESERVES The reserve is the confidential minimum price the consignor will accept and will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate. Lots that are not subject to a reserve are identified by the symbol next to the lot number. BUYER S PREMIUM In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder agrees to pay us a buyer s premium on the hammer price of each lot sold. On all lots we charge 25% of the hammer price up to and including 100,000, 20% on that part of the hammer price over 100,000 and up to and including 2,000,000, and 12% of that part of the hammer price above 2,000,000. Exceptions: Wine and Cigars: 17.5% of the final bid price of each lot. VAT is payable on the premium at the applicable rate. PRE-AUCTION VIEWING Pre-auction viewings are open to the public free of charge. Christie s specialists are available to give advice and condition reports at viewings or by appointment. BIDDER REGISTRATION Prospective buyers who have not previously bid or consigned with Christie s should bring: Individuals: government-issued photo identification (such as a photo driving licence, national identity card, or passport) and, if not shown on the ID document, proof of current address, for example a utility bill or bank statement. Corporate clients: a certificate of incorporation. For other business structures such as trusts, offshore companies or partnerships, please contact Christie s Credit Department at + 44 (0) for advice on the information you should supply. A financial reference in the form of a recent bank statement or a reference from your bank in line with your expected purchase level. Christie s can supply a form of wording for the bank reference if necessary. Persons registering to bid on behalf of someone who has not previously bid or consigned with Christie s should bring identification documents not only for themselves but also for the party on whose behalf they are bidding, together with a signed letter of authorisation from that party. To allow sufficient time to process the information, new clients are encouraged to register at least 48 hours in advance of a sale. Prospective buyers should register for a numbered bidding paddle at least 30 minutes before the auction. Clients who have not made a purchase from any Christie s office within the last one year, and those wishing to spend more than on previous occasions, will be asked to supply a new bank reference. For assistance with references, please contact Christie s Credit Department at +44 (0) (London, King Street) or at +44 (0) (London, South Kensington). We may at our option ask you for a financial reference or a deposit as a condition of allowing you to bid. REGISTERING TO BID ON SOMEONE ELSE S BEHALF Persons bidding on behalf of an existing client should bring a signed letter from the client authorising the bidder to act on the client s behalf. Please note that Christie s does not accept payments from third parties. Christie s can only accept payment from the client, and not from the person bidding on their behalf. BIDDING The auctioneer accepts bids from those present in the sale-room, from telephone bidders, or by absentee written bids left with Christie s in advance of the auction. The auctioneer may also execute bids on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the seller. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the seller at or above the reserve. Bid steps are shown on the Absentee Bid Form at the back of this catalogue. ABSENTEE BIDS Absentee bids are written instructions from prospective buyers directing Christie s to bid on their behalf up to a maximum amount specified for each lot. Christie s staff will attempt to execute an absentee bid at the lowest possible price taking into account the reserve price. Absentee bids submitted on no reserve lots will, in the absence of a higher bid, be executed at approximately 50% of the low pre sale estimate or at the amount of the bid if it is less than 50% of the low pre-sale estimate.the auctioneer may execute absentee bids directly from the rostrum, clearly identifying these as absentee bids, book bids, order bids or commission bids. Absentee Bids Forms are available in this catalogue, at any Christie s location, or online at christies.com. 08/11/16 TELEPHONE BIDS Telephone bids cannot be accepted for lots estimated below 2,000. Arrangements must be confirmed with the Bid Department at least 24 hours prior to the auction at +44 (0) (London, King Street) or +44 (0) (London, South Kensington). Arrangements to bid in languages other than English must be made well in advance of the sale date. Telephone bids may be recorded. By bidding on the telephone, prospective purchasers consent to the recording of their conversation.

60 LEVEL/ULLAGE DESCRIPTIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS (see notes below) BORDEAUX BURGUNDY CAPSULE CAPSULE Catalogue descriptions 1 high fill 2 into neck 3 base of neck 4 top-shoulder 5 upper-shoulder 6 mid-shoulder 7 mid-low shoulder Catalogue descriptions 3cm 5cm 7cm 8 low-shoulder 1 into neck: Level of young wines. Exceptionally good in wines over 10 years old. 2 bottom neck: Perfectly good for any age of wine. Outstandingly good for a wine of 20 years in bottle, or longer. 3 very top-shoulder 4 top-shoulder: Normal for any claret 15 years old or older. 5 upper-shoulder: Slight natural reduction through the easing of the cork and evaporation through cork and capsule. Usually no problem. Acceptable for any wine over 20 years old. Exceptional for pre-1950 wines. 6 mid-shoulder: Probably some weakening of the cork and some risk. Not abnormal for wines 30/40 years of age. Estimates usually take this into account. 7 mid-low-shoulder: Some risk. Low estimates. 8 low-shoulder: Risky and usually only accepted for sale if wine or label exceptionally rare or interesting. Always offered with low estimate. Because of the slope of shoulder it is impractical to describe levels as mid-shoulder, etc. Wherever appropriate the level between cork and wine will be measured and catalogued in centimetres. The condition and drinkability of burgundy is less affected by ullage than its equivalent from Bordeaux. For example, a 5 to 7 cm. ullage in a 30-year-old burgundy can be considered normal, indeed good for age, 3.5 to 4 cm. excellent for age, even 7cm. rarely a risk. BOTTLE SIZES magnum marie-jeanne double-magnum = two regular bottles = three regular bottles = four regular bottles jeroboam = four regular bottles (Burgundy, Champagne) jeroboam (Bordeaux) impériale (Bordeaux) methuselah (Burgundy) = six regular bottles (or 5 litres) = eight regular bottles = eight regular bottles SPECIAL NOTICE Though every effort is made to describe or measure the levels of older vintages, corks over 20 years old begin to lose their elasticity and levels can change between cataloguing and sale. Old corks have also been known to fail during or after shipment. We therefore repeat that there is always a risk of cork failure with old wines and due allowance must be made for this. Under no circumstances can an adjustment of price or credit be made after delivery except under the terms stated in Paragraph 5 of the Conditions of Sale. Unless otherwise stated, Bordeaux are château bottled and all wines are bottled in the country of production. Important note regarding opening of cases and listing of levels: Christie s and NYWines general policy is to open all wood cases and to describe levels. Bidders must make allowances for reasonable variations in ullage which may be encountered in cases from the 1984 vintage and older. Additionally, all wine from vintages 1985 and younger have levels bottom neck or better unless otherwise noted. 58

61 CONDITIONS OF SALE These Conditions of Sale and the Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice set out the terms governing the legal relationship of Christie s and the seller with the buyer. You should read them carefully before bidding. 1. CHRISTIE S AS AGENT Except as otherwise stated Christie s acts as agent for the seller. The contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the seller and the buyer. 2. CATALOGUE DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION Lots are sold as described and otherwise in the condition they are in at the time of the sale, on the following basis. (a) Condition The nature of the lots sold in our auctions is such that they will rarely be in perfect condition, and are likely, due to their nature and age, to show signs of wear and tear, damage, other imperfections, restoration or repair. Any reference to condition in a catalogue entry will not amount to a full description of condition. Condition reports are usually available on request, and will supplement the catalogue description. In describing lots, our staff assess the condition in a manner appropriate to the estimated value of the item and the nature of the auction in which it is included. Any statement as to the physical nature or condition of a lot, in a catalogue, condition report or otherwise, is given honestly and with appropriate care. However, Christie s staff are not professional restorers or trained conservators and accordingly any such statement will not be exhaustive. We therefore recommend that you always view property personally, and, particularly in the case of any items of significant value, that you instruct your own restorer or other professional adviser to report to you in advance of bidding. (b) Cataloguing Practice Our cataloguing practice is explained in the Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice, which appear after the catalogue entries. (c) Attribution etc Any statements made by Christie s about any lot, whether orally or in writing, concerning attribution to, for example, an artist, school, or country of origin, or history or provenance, or any date or period, are expressions of our opinion or belief. Our opinions and beliefs have been formed honestly and in accordance with the standard of care reasonably to be expected of an auction house of Christie s standing, due regard having been had to the estimated value of the item and the nature of the auction in which it is included. It must be clearly understood, however, that, due to the nature of the auction process, we are unable to carry out exhaustive research of the kind undertaken by professional historians and scholars, and also that, as research develops and scholarship and expertise evolve, opinions on these matters may change. We therefore recommend that, particularly in the case of any item of significant value, you seek advice on such matters from your own professional advisers. (d) Estimates Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. (e) Fitness for Purpose Lots sold are enormously varied in terms of age, category and condition, and may be purchased for a variety of purposes. Unless otherwise specifically agreed, no promise is made that a lot is fit for any particular purpose. 3. AT THE SALE (a) Refusal of admission Christie s has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid. (b) Registration before bidding Prospective buyers who wish to bid in the saleroom can register online in advance of the sale, or can come to the saleroom on the day of the sale approximately 30 minutes before the start of the sale to register in person. Prospective buyers must complete and sign a registration form with his or her name and permanent address, and provide identification before bidding. We may require the production of bank details from which payment will be made or other financial references. (c) Bidding as principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer s premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Christie s before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Christie s, and that Christie s will only look to the principal for payment. (d) Absentee bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids delivered to us prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in the currency of the place of the sale. Please refer to the catalogue for the Absentee Bids Form. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and at the auction these are the highest bids on the lot, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and provided that we have exercised reasonable care in the handling of written bids, the volume of goods is such that we cannot accept liability in any individual instance for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with it arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control. (e) Telephone bids If a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone but we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control. (f) Currency converter At some auctions a currency converter may be operated. Errors may occur in the operation of the currency converter. Where these arise from circumstances beyond our reasonable control we do not accept liability to bidders who follow the currency converter rather than the actual bidding in the saleroom. (g) Video or digital images At some auctions there may be a video or digital screen. Errors may occur in its operation and in the quality of the image. We do not accept liability for such errors where they arise for reasons beyond our reasonable control. (h) Reserves Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. If any lots are not subject to a reserve, they will be identified with the symbol next to the lot number. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. (i) Auctioneer s discretion The auctioneer has the right to exercise reasonable discretion in refusing any bid, advancing the bidding in such a manner as he may decide, withdrawing or dividing any lot, combining any two or more lots and, in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, determining the successful bidder, continuing the bidding, cancelling the sale or reoffering and reselling the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, then, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary the sale record maintained by the auctioneer will be conclusive. (j) Successful bid and passing of risk Subject to the auctioneer s reasonable discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the seller and the buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes to the buyer at the expiration of seven calendar days from the date of the sale or on collection by the buyer if earlier. 4. AFTER THE SALE (a) Buyer s premium In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay to us the buyer s premium together with any applicable value added tax. The buyer s premium is 25% of the final bid price of each lot up to and including 100,000, 20% of the excess of the hammer price above 100,001 and up to and including 2,000,000 and 12% of the excess of the hammer price above 2,000,001. Exceptions: Wine and Cigars: 17.5% of the final bid price of each lot, VAT is payable at the applicable rate. (b) Artist s Resale Right ( Droit de Suite ) If the Artist s Resale Right Regulations 2006 apply to the lot the buyer also agrees to pay to us an amount equal to the resale royalty provided for in those Regulations. Lots affected are identified with the symbol λ next to the lot number. (c) Payment and ownership The buyer must pay the full amount due (comprising the hammer price, buyer s premium and any applicable taxes or resale royalty) immediately after the sale. This applies even if the buyer wishes to export the lot and an export licence is, or may be, required. The buyer will not acquire title to the lot until all amounts due to us from the buyer have been received by us in good cleared funds even in circumstances where we have released the lot to the buyer. 09/08/13 59

62 (d) Collection of purchases We shall be entitled to retain items sold until all amounts due to us, or to Christie s International plc, or to any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies worldwide, have been received in full in good cleared funds or until the buyer has performed any other outstanding obligations as we, in our sole discretion, shall require, including, for the avoidance of doubt, completing any antimoney laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks we may require to our satisfaction. In the event a buyer fails to complete any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks to our satisfaction, Christie s shall be entitled to cancel the sale and to take any other actions that are required or permitted under applicable law. Subject to this, the buyer shall collect purchased lots within two calendar days from the date of the sale unless otherwise agreed between us and the buyer. (e) Packing, handling and shipping Although we shall use reasonable efforts to take care when handling, packing and shipping a purchased lot and in selecting third parties for these purposes, we are not responsible for the acts or omissions of any such third parties. Similarly, where we suggest other handlers, packers or carriers if so requested, our suggestions are made on the basis of our general experience of such parties in the past and we are not responsible to any person to whom we have made a recommendation for the acts or omissions of the third party concerned. (f) Export licence Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact that the buyer wishes to apply for an export licence does not affect his or her obligation to make payment immediately after the sale nor our right to charge interest or storage charges on late payment. If the buyer requests us to apply for an export licence on his or her behalf, we shall be entitled to make a charge for this service. We shall not be obliged to rescind a sale nor to refund any interest or other expenses incurred by the buyer where payment is made by the buyer in circumstances where an export licence is required. Christie s can advise buyers on the detailed provisions of the export licensing regulations and will submit any necessary export licence applications on request. However, Christie s cannot ensure that a licence will be obtained. Local laws may prohibit the import of some property and/or may prohibit the resale of some property in the country of importation. For more information, please contact Christie s Shipping Department at +44 (0) or the the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council: Acquisitions, Export and Loans Unit at +44 (0) /8267. (g) Remedies for non payment If the buyer fails to make payment in full in good cleared funds within 7 days after the sale, we shall have the right to exercise a number of legal rights and remedies. These include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) to charge interest at an annual rate equal to 5% above the base rate of Lloyds TSB Bank Plc; (ii) to hold the defaulting buyer liable for the total amount due and to commence legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law; (iii) to cancel the sale; (iv) to resell the property publicly or privately on such terms as we shall think fit; (v) to pay the seller an amount up to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the defaulting buyer; (vi) to set off against any amounts which we, or Christie s International plc, or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies worldwide, may owe the buyer in any other transactions, the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the buyer; (vii) where several amounts are owed by the buyer to us, or to Christie s International plc, or to any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies worldwide, in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not the buyer so directs; (viii) to reject at any future auction any bids made by or on behalf of the buyer or to obtain a deposit from the buyer before accepting any bids; (ix) to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by the buyer, whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way, to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. The buyer will be deemed to have granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for such buyer s obligations to us; (x) to take such other action as we deem necessary or appropriate. If we resell the property under paragraph (iv) above, the defaulting buyer shall be liable for payment of any deficiency between the total amount originally due to us and the price obtained upon resale as well as for all reasonable costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and commissions and premiums of whatever kind associated with both sales or otherwise arising from the default. If we pay any amount to the seller under paragraph (v) above, the buyer acknowledges that Christie s shall have all of the rights of the seller, however arising, to pursue the buyer for such amount. (h) Failure to collect purchases Where purchases are not collected within two calendar days from the date of the sale, whether or not payment has been made, we shall be permitted to remove the property to a third party warehouse at the buyer s expense, and only release the items after payment in full has been made of removal, storage, handling, and any other costs reasonably incurred, together with payment of all other amounts due to us. (i) Selling Property at Christie s In addition to expenses such as transport, all consignors pay a commission according to a fixed scale of charges based upon the value of the property sold by the consignor at Christie s in a calendar year. Commissions are charged on a sale by sale basis. 5. LIMITED WARRANTY In addition to Christie s liability to buyers set out in clause 2 of these Conditions, but subject to the terms and conditions of this paragraph, Christie s warrants for a period of five years from the date of the sale that any property described in headings printed in UPPER CASE TYPE (i.e. headings having all capital-letter type) in this catalogue (as such description may be amended by any saleroom notice or announcement) which is stated without qualification to be the work of a named author or authorship, is authentic and not a forgery. The term author or authorship refers to the creator of the property or to the period, culture, source or origin, as the case may be, with which the creation of such property is identified in the UPPER CASE description of the property in this catalogue. Only UPPER CASE TYPE headings of lots in this catalogue indicate what is being warranted by Christie s. Christie s warranty does not apply to supplemental material which appears below the UPPER CASE TYPE headings of each lot and Christie s is not responsible for any errors or omissions in such material. The terms used in the headings are further explained in Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice. The warranty does not apply to any heading which is stated to represent a qualified opinion. The warranty is subject to the following: (i) It does not apply where (a) the catalogue description or saleroom notice corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars or experts at the date of the sale or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of opinions; or (b) correct identification of a lot can be demonstrated only by means of either a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at the date of publication of the catalogue was unreasonably expensive or impractical or likely to have caused damage to the property. (ii) The benefits of the warranty are not assignable and shall apply only to the original buyer of the lot as shown on the invoice originally issued by Christie s when the lot was sold at auction. (iii) The original buyer must have remained the owner of the lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party. (iv) The buyer s sole and exclusive remedy against Christie s and the seller, in place of any other remedy which might be available, is the cancellation of the sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid for the lot. Neither Christie s nor the seller will be liable for any special, incidental or consequential damages including, without limitation, loss of profits nor for interest. (v) The buyer must give written notice of claim to us within five years from the date of the auction. It is Christie s general policy, and Christie s shall have the right, to require the buyer to obtain the written opinions of two recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Christie s and the buyer, before Christie s decides whether or not to cancel the sale under the warranty. (vi) The buyer must return the lot to the Christie s saleroom at which it was purchased in the same condition as at the time of the sale. 6. COPYRIGHT The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for Christie s relating to a lot including the contents of this catalogue, is and shall remain at all times the property of Christie s and shall not be used by the buyer, nor by anyone else, without our prior written consent. Christie s and the seller make no representation or warranty that the buyer of a property will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights in it. 7. SEVERABILITY If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law. 8. LAW AND JURISDICTION The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these Conditions of Sale, the conduct of the auction and any matters connected with any of the foregoing shall be governed and interpreted by the laws of England. By bidding at auction, whether present in person or by agent, by written bid, telephone or other means, the buyer shall be deemed to have submitted, for the benefit of Christie s, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the United Kingdom. 60
