CELLAR�OF�R.A.B.�BOTTOMLEY

R.A.B.(Bob)�Bottomley�was�an�enthusiastic�and�

knowledgeable�collector�of�fne�and�rare�wines.�Bob�

started�working�in�the�West�End�of�London�in�1951�

following�a�spell�as�a�submariner�in�the�Royal�Navy.�

His�career�in�the�steel�business�took�him�all�around�the�

globe�with�frequent�visits�across�Europe,�Asia�and�the�

USA�.�During�the�intervening�30�years�and�up�until�his�

retirement�in�1981,�he�regularly�lunched�or�dined�with�

his�top�clients�in�one�of�his�many�favourite�restaurants�

in�London�or�Paris�or�further�afeld.�He�relished�these�

opportunities�to�consume�highly�regarded�wines�–�top�

Burgundies�and�First�Growth�Bordeaux�being�amongst�his

regular�choices.

In�the�late�1960’s�he�decided�to�establish�his�own�

collection,�selecting�only�from�top�UK�and�European�

suppliers�of�the�time.�A�glance�through�his�purchase�

records�shows�many�transactions�with�top�suppliers�like�

Bibendum,�Percy�Fox,�Laytons,�Paragon�and�Sichel.�

His�particular�loves�of�Burgundy,�Rioja�and�Champagne�

were�satisfed�through�purchases�from�Maison�Marques�et�

Domaines,�Direct�Wines�and�Moët�Hennessy�respectively.�

He�also�purchased�directly�from�Burgundian�producers

Camus�and�Michelot-Buisson�and�became�a�regular�

private�visitor�to�many�vineyard�regions�to�taste�and�learn�

more�about�those�wines�in�his�growing�collection.

Following�his�retirement�in�1981,�Bob�decided�to�

create�a�newly�extended�temperature-controlled�cellar�

beneath�his�East�Sussex�farmhouse�to�house�his�wines

which�until�then�had�always�been�stored�with�the�

supplying�merchants.�During�the�next�two�decades�he�

added�frequently�to�his�collection,�concentrating�on�top�

Bordeaux,�Burgundy�and�Champagne.�He�continued�to�

tour�vineyards�and�visit�his�favoured�properties�until�the�

late�1990’s�when�sadly,�ill�health�forced�him�to�stop.�He�

was�always�considered�to�be�an�intelligent�and�generous�

host�and�took�great�delight�in�entertaining�many�wine�

friends,�colleagues�and�clients�of�a�like�mind.�He�passed�

away�in�2012.

his�selections.�Leafng�through�his�weighty�Wine�Ledger�it

AFTERNOON SESSION AT 2.00 pm

AN OUTSTANDING COLLECTION OF FINE

CLARET INCLUDING A BROAD RANGE

OF BOTTLES AND MAGNUMS FROM THE

SUPERLATIVE 1982 VINTAGE

The following collection (lots 463 to 642) was carefully

built up over three decades by a discerning wine lover.

The majority of wines were all bought en-primeur from

local wine merchants and have been stored in the same

purpose-built cellar since original purchase.

The wines were bought with the intention of being

drunk and so all were binned upon delivery to the cellar.

The undoubted highlight is the range of 1982s, both in

bottle and magnum, from a selection of ‘super-second’

Chhteaux which will now be drinking outstandingly.

These include Cos d’Estournel, Gruaud-Larose and

Ducru-Beaucaillou. It is rare now to see these wines in

such quantities. Another highlight is the parcel of the

excellent 1989 Palmer (lots 636 to 638)

This collection therefore represents an outstanding

opportunity for lovers of great Bordeaux to purchase

high quality, mature wines in quantity with excellent

provenance.

Recently removed from a purpose built cellar on the

continent

Pptrus 1990

Pomerol, cru exceptionnel

In original wooden case. Very slightly damaged lid. Slightly worn

capsules. Slightly damaged base of labels. Levels base of neck or

better

Tasting note: The 1990 Pdtrus remains incredibly young,

one of the least evolved wines of the vintage (along with

Montrose and Beausdjour-Duffau). This dense ruby/

purple-coloured effort is beginning to hint at the massive

richness and full-bodied intensity lurking beneath its

wall of tannin. The vintage’s sweetness, low acidity, and

velvety tannins are present in abundance, and the wine is

massive in the mouth as well as incredibly pure and well-

delineated. I thought it would be drinkable by now, but

it appears another 5-10 years will pass before it begins

to reach its plateau of maturity. This wine is capable

of lasting at least four more decades. An incredible

achievement! Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #183 Jun

everything�still�there�for�a�perfect�rating,�but�I�was�just�

struck�by�how�tight�and�backward�the�wine�was.�A�

blend�of�93.3%�Cabernet�Sauvignon�and�the�rest�Merlot,

extraordinarily�youthful�nose�of�graphite,�blackcurrants,

is�rich,�medium�to�full-bodied,�but�has�that�ethereal

predicted�that�it�would�frst�reach�maturity�in�2011,�

Important Notices and Explanation of

Cataloguing Practice

BIDDINGBidding 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 PARCELSA 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 ONLYBonded 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 PAIDUnless otherwise stated wines are offered duty paid and no excise duty or clearance VAT will be charged.

WINES OFFERED IN BONDWines 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 BUYERSChristie’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.

CLASSIFICATIONSBordeaux 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 LOTSThe issue of Christie’s official Delivery Order will constitute delivery.

ULLAGES AND CORKS OF OLD WINESWines are described in this catalogue as correctly as can be ascertained at time of going to press, but buyers of old wines must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of cases, labels, corks and wine. No returns will be accepted.

ULLAGEThe 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.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

CHRISTIE’S INTEREST IN PROPERTY CONSIGNED FOR AUCTIONFrom time to time, Christie’s may offer a lot which it owns in whole or in part. Such property is identified in the catalogue with the symbol ∆ next to its lot number. On occasion, Christie’s has a direct financial interest in lots consigned for sale, which may include guaranteeing a minimum price or making an advance to the consignor that is secured solely by consigned property. Where Christie’s holds such financial interest on its own we identify such lots with the symbol º next to the lot number.Where Christie’s has financed all or part of such interest through a third party the lots are identified in the catalogue with the symbol ºu. When a third party agrees to finance all or part of Christie’s interest in a lot, it takes on all or part of the risk of the lot not being sold, and will be remunerated in exchange for accepting this risk 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. Where it does so, and is the successful bidder, the remuneration may be netted against the final purchase price. If the lot is not sold, the third party may incur a loss. Please see http://www.christies.com/financial-interest/ 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.

ALL DIMENSIONS ARE APPROXIMATE

CONDITION

Christie’s catalogues include references to condition only in descriptions of multiple works (such as prints, books and wine). For all other property, only alterations or replacement components are listed. Please contact the Specialist Department for a condition report on a particular lot. 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.

PROTECTED SPECIESProperty made of or incorporating (irrespective of percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife are marked with the symbol ~in the catalogue. Such material includes, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whale bone and certain species of coral, together with Brazilian rosewood. Prospective purchasers are advised that several countries prohibit altogether the importation of property containing such materials, and that other countries require a permit (e.g., a CITES permit) from the relevant regulatory agencies in the countries of exportation as well as importation. Accordingly, clients should familiarise themselves with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on any property with wildlife material if they intend to import the property into another country. Please note that it is the client’s responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations applying to the export or import of property containing endangered and other protected wildlife material. The inability of a client to export or import property containing endangered and other protected wildlife material is not a basis for cancellation or rescission of the sale. Please note also that lots containing potentially regulated wildlife material are marked as a convenience to our clients, but Christie’s does not accept liability for errors or for failing to mark lots containing protected or regulated species.

RECENT CHANGES TO IMPORTS OF

ELEPHANT IVORY AND OTHER WILDLIFE

MATERIAL INTO THE USA

The USA has recently changed its policy on the import of property made of or containing elephant ivory. Only Asian Elephant ivory may be imported into the USA, and imports must be accompanied by DNA analysis and confirmation the object is more than 100 years old. We have not obtained a DNA analysis on any lot prior to sale and cannot indicate whether the elephant ivory in a particular lot is African or Asian elephant. Buyers purchase these lots at their own risk and will be responsible for the costs of obtaining any DNA analysis or other report required in connection with their proposed import of such property into the USA.

The USA is also currently requiring all imports of property made of or containing wildlife material to be accompanied by a scientific confirmation of spe-cies and in some cases an additional confirmation of age. We have not obtained such confirmations prior to sale (unless specifically indicated) and buyers will be responsible for the costs of any such additional confirmations or opinions required for their pro-posed import into the USA.

A buyer’s inability to export or import any lot containing elephant ivory or other wildlife material is not a basis for cancelling the purchase.

Where “Estimate on Request” appears, please contact the Specialist Department for further information.

RESERVESThe 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 E next to the lot number.

BIDDINGThe 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.

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 BIDSAbsentee bids are written instructions from prospective buyers directing Christie’s to bid on their behalf up to a maximum amount specified for each lot. Christie’s staff will attempt to execute an absentee bid at the lowest possible price taking into account the reserve price. 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”.

Royalty For the portion of the Hammer Price (in Euro) 4.00% up to 50,000 3.00% between 50,000.01 and 200,000 1.00% between 200,000.01 and 350,000 0.50% between 350,000.01 and 500,000 0.25% in excess of 500,000

Invoices will, as usual, be issued in Pounds Sterling. For the purposes of calculating the resale royalty the Pounds Sterling/Euro rate of exchange will be the European Central Bank reference rate on the day of the sale.

SHIPPINGIt is the buyer’s responsibility to pick up purchases or make all shipping arrangements. After payment has been made in full, Christie’s can arrange property packing and shipping at the buyer’s request and expense. Buyers should request an estimate for any large items or property of high value that require professional packing. A shipping form is enclosed with each invoice, alternatively buyers can visit www.christies.com/shipping to request a shipping estimate.

EXPORT/IMPORT PERMITSBuyers should always check whether an export licence is required before exporting. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import licence. The denial of any licence or any delay in obtaining licences shall neither justify the rescission of any sale nor any delay in making full payment for the lot.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.

Conditions of Sale

09/08/13

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 AGENTExcept 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 imagesAt 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) ReservesUnless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. If any lots are not subject to a reserve, they will be identified with the symbol E 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 discretionThe 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 riskSubject 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 H50,000, 20% of the excess of the hammer price above H50,000 and up to and including H1,000,000 and 12% of the excess of the hammer price above H1,000,000. 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 ownershipThe 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.

05/01/10

(d) Collection of purchasesWe shall be entitled to retain items sold until all amounts due to us, or to Christie’s International plc, or to any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies worldwide, have been received in full in good cleared funds or until the buyer has performed any other outstanding obligations as we, in our sole discretion, shall require, including, for the avoidance of doubt, completing any anti-money 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 shippingAlthough 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 licenceUnless 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.

(g) Remedies for non paymentIf 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 purchasesWhere 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’sIn 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 WARRANTYIn 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.

founded, (2) within fourteen days of such notice,

Christie’s has the lots in its possession in the same

condition as at the date of the auction and (3) within a

reasonable time thereafter, the buyer satisfies Christie’s

Level/Ullage Descriptions and Interpretations

(see notes below)

BOTTLE SIZESmagnum = two regular bottles

marie-jeanne = three regular bottles

double-magnum = four regular bottles

jeroboam = four regular bottles (Burgundy, Champagne)

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

impériale = eight regular bottles

(Bordeaux)

methuselah = eight regular bottles

(Burgundy)

SPECIAL 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.

BORDEAUX

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.
