Dear Client,
We can’t think of a better way to follow up the great start to 2015 we’ve seen in New York than this! Unlike last month, when the collection of Martine Saunier demanded all the headlines, in this sale no single collection dominates. But there are so many featured wines! This catalog is deep with the greatest wines and names of France, Europe and California, and we hope that you are able to join us in person on March 28th at Marea.
There are so many rare wines in Lots 251-290. This might be my favorite collection of the whole sale thanks to a longstanding collector who built his collection over decades. Beautiful bottles of 1949 Haut Brion, 1959 Latour, 1975 La Mission, an OWC of 1982 Mouton, six Petrus vintages, gorgeous bottles of 1962 Vogue Musigny, many DRC lots including famed 1978 and 1985, the great 1978 La Chapelle, and so much more, that it is impossible to choose a favorite. This is the stop, look, listen and buy collection of the sale!
Don’t miss Lots 398-468 if you collect and drink Rousseau, Dujac, Denis Bachelet, Roumier, Coche Dury, Henri Jayer, Drouhin, Hommage from Beaucastel, Clos St. Jean, Chave, Barroche, Masseto or Colgin. Every lot in this collection is in superb condition from a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar, and it personifies that our NYC auctions offer collectors and drinkers the chance to buy a little bit of everything… everything great!
There is no greater DRC vintage than 1999 and the collection in Lots 468-498 offers a custom OWC of the 1999 DRC Assortment, 2003 DRC magnums and bottles, three Coche-Dury lots, 2005 Clos de Tart in OWC, Vega Sicilia, Giacosa and a most impressive collection of OWC Harlan Estate. This collection is a world tour of great names.
Petrus, Henri Jayer, Leroy and DRC. Yeah, sounds good! Lots 383-397 comes to us from one of the more knowledgeable collectors in the USA. Super-rare verticals of Lafite and Petrus set the stage for a bevy of Burgundy, none brighter than a vertical of Henri Jayer Echezeaux collection back to 1978. If that’s not enough, try three twelve bottle case lots of 1989 and 1990 Leroy, a six bottle lot of 1990 Leroy Richebourg, plus a very rare and pristine magnum of 1988 Coche Dury Meursault Perrieres. And that is far from all – two Methuselahs (!) of DRC, for example. I love this collection, and you will, too.
4 ACKER MERRALL & CONDIT CO., 160 WEST 72ND STREET, NEW YORK, NY 10023 • FAX: 877.ACKER.24 • PHONE: 877.ACKER.47 There are two of our Featured Collections that are bigger than the rest, Lots 1-112 and Lots 655- 732. The first collection containswonderful Bordeaux from the 1980s such as 1982 Mouton, Margaux and Haut Brion, stellar Burgundies from DRC, 2005 Rousseau, an OWC of Marquis de Laguiche Montrachet among many others, great and deep collections of Giacosa, Masseto, Sassacaia , Screaming Eagle, Bryant, Bond, Harlan, Colgin, Dominus, Peter Michael, Scarecrow and Peter Michael. This is a great and classically diverse collection from a wonderful collector.
Lots 655- 732 is for collectors and lovers of case lots of La Mission, Lafite, Ducru, Pichon Lalande, Leoville Las Cases, Lynch Bages, Gaja, Soldera and the most incredible collection of Bryant Family we have ever seen! There is lot after lot of beautifully cared for wines in wonderful condition.
Speaking of California, we will leave you with two sizzling collections of the red hot Sine Qua Non, Lots 113-143 and 761-789. Nuff said.
Enjoy reading through this catalog. It’s a catalog for collectors, wine lovers and wine drinkers. Said differently, it holds something for all of us. I hope to see you in person or live online through AckerLive on March 28, 2015 in NYC!
In Vino Veritas,
John Kapon CEO, Acker Merrall & Condit

TIME TO HIT THE SLOPES This Long Island attorney likes to play tennis and ski when he’s not collecting wine. He began collecting in 1999 and is particularly passionate about Italian and California wine, although he does have a great collection of French wine as well. Most of the wines were bought through retail and all were professionally stored. During the course of 100 lots, he gives us a splendid tour of the world of top wines, making for a fine introduction to the sale. Original wood cases of 1982 Mouton and 1986 Cos open the way for 2005 Rousseaus, a mini vertical of DRC, as well as Montrachets from Bouchard and Laguiche. Dom Perignon and Krug give a quick toast before we foray into some tasty Italians highlighted by choice selections from Giacosa, Ornellaia, Gaja and Valdicava. There are also a dozen lots of highly sought after Masseto including rare large formats! The California is rich with ABCs and other fine terroirs, highlighted by Araujo, Bond, Bryant, Caymus, Colgin and Dominus. Harlan, Peter Michael, Phelps, Scarecrow and Shafer helps us round the alphabet with numerous very high scoring wines. Two lots of Grange add a little saucy Aussie to the mix. We hope to feature more wines soon from this auspiciously grand collection!

WWW.ACKERASIA.COM THE COLLECTION OF NATHAN CHROMAN Nathan L. Chroman was for many years one of the nation’s most influential wine critics and also an early, very important advo- cate for the wines of California, some of whose most impactful wines are represented in this consignment. From the early 1970s until the late 1980s he wrote a weekly and widely read column for the Los Angeles Times. He also wrote columns and articles for some of the most influential and important wine magazines of his era as well as authoring The Treasury of American Wines, which was published in 1973.
He was one of America’s writers and experts who put in place the foundation for this nation’s increasing love and passion for fine wine. Yet above all he was a wine enthusiast and wine lover, a collector of breadth and depth alike. We are honored to pres- ent the final chapter in his collection, all from his two temperature and humidity controlled cellars. Inside this collection you will find 1959s from Haut Brion, Latour and Mouton and 1961s from Calon Segur, Ducru and Las Cases. A full case of 1958 BV Private Reserve leads the Cali section of Heitz, Inglenook and Stony Hill.
