First London Wine Auction Of The Year Offers 60 Years Of Claret From 1945 - 2005 At Bonhams
http://www.bonhams.com/wine
FOLLOWING WINE SALES INCREASE OF 35% IN 2008 BONHAMS BUILD LONDON WINE AUCTIONS
TO SEVEN A YEAR
Following a highly successful 2008 with sales up 35%, Bonhams are increasing the
number of Fine & Rare Wine sales at New Bond Street to seven in 2009. The
first major London Fine Wine sale of the year will take place on 3 February
and includes a superb range of clarets from 1945 to 2005
This features such rare gems as La Tour Haut-Brion 1945, while the range from
Château Lafite Rothschild includes a dozen 1955, 3 dozen 1982, 9 double-magnums
of 1994 and 2 dozen 1996. Amongst many other choice lots there are 4 dozen Cos
d'Estournel 1982, 2 cases each of Chateau Margaux 1983 and 1996, 2 dozen Cheval
Blanc 1990 and 4 cases of Clos Fourtet 2005.
From Sauternes there are 12 vintages of Château d'Yquem, including a complete
dozen of 1924 and also a case of Climens from the legendary 1947 vintage. Burgundy
includes complete cases of Romanée St Vivant 1970 and Echézeaux
1971 from Romanée Conti as well as Romanée Conti itself, La Tâche
and Echézeaux from 1983. Five consecutive vintages (1998-2002) of Chambolle
Musigny Les Amoureuses from de Vogüé are also offered in a single
lot.
Leading a great list from the Rhone are 6 magnums of Hermitage La Chapelle 1978
while Alsatian wines feature Hugel’s Vendange Tardive from the exceptional
1976 vintage. Additionally there are many everyday drinking wines in the £8-10
category, not only from France but also Italy and Australia, which offer particularly
good value in view of the current weakness of the pound.

NOTES FOR EDITORS
Bonhams, founded in 1793, is one of the world's oldest and largest auctioneers
of fine art and antiques. The present company was formed by the merger in November
2001 of Bonhams & Brooks and Phillips Son and Neale UK. In August 2002, the
company acquired Butterfields, the principal firm of auctioneers on the West Coast
of America and in August 2003, Goodmans, a leading Australian fine art and antiques
auctioneer with salerooms in Sydney, joined the Bonhams Group of Companies. Today,
Bonhams offers more sales than any of its rivals, through two major salerooms
in London: New Bond Street, and Knightsbridge, and a further seven throughout
the UK. Sales are also held in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York and Boston
in the USA; and Switzerland, France, Monaco, Australia, Hong Kong and Dubai. Bonhams
