The auction was full of impressive consignments and we saw record demand and strong results in nearly every category. It’s only because of your interest and support that we are able to bring you auctions of this caliber, and we sincerely thank you. The “Celebration of Burgundy” has become a highly-anticipated tradition for HDH. It can be a real challenge to assemble an entire auction devoted exclusively to Burgundy; the volume of production for the region’s top domaines is tiny, and many collectors are—understandably—hesitant to part with their beloved treasures. Fortunately, a robust market for these spectacular wines has encouraged some of our most meticulous and celebrated collectors to offer consignments in this year’s sale. Perusing this catalog, you will note an incredible cache of wines spanning a library of great Paul Hart domaines and vintages dating as far back as 1949. The sale boasts an encyclopedic array of wines CEO from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti along with page after page of offerings from Coche-Dury, Hart Davis Hart Wine Co. Dujac, Fourrier, Lefl aive, Leroy, Rousseau, Roumier, Vogüé and their peers. Whether you are a seasoned Burgundy collector or are just getting to know the region for the fi rst time, this sale is well worth your attention. In particular, I would like to direct interested bidders to An Outstanding Selection of Rarest Burgundy Spanning Four Decades (lots 172-212), which includes an extensive selection of wines from Henri Jayer purchased upon release by the current owner. This collector is a highly respected and scrupulous connoisseur (as well as a dear friend of HDH), and he has provided us with receipts for virtually all Jayer in the consignment. For those in search of Jayer, this collection presents a unique opportunity to acquire these rarities with remarkable provenance. Collectors seeking Chardonnay need look no further than An Impressive Selection of Magnifi cent Burgundy (lots 436-539). This is a particularly impressive offering of fi nest white Burgundy, assembled by one of the world’s most esteemed collectors, who is also a cherished friend. Coche- Dury, DRC, Lefl aive, Leroy, and Raveneau are just some of the revered producers available in this consignment, which was acquired entirely upon initial release and removed from a highly customized home cellar with ideal temperature and humidity conditions. I would be doing a disservice if I did not also mention the Magnifi cent Selections Directly from the Cellars of Fourrier and Hudelot-Noëllat (lots 372-435). This outstanding collection comes direct from the estates in the Côte-d’Or and includes highly-anticipated wines from Jean-Marie Fourrier’s new négociant business—Grand Cru Fourrier! This provenance is utterly unbeatable, and we are exhilarated to have the opportunity to offer it to you. Much has changed for HDH and for the market as a whole since our inaugural all-Burgundy sale in 2012. In 2012, Burgundy accounted for $11.6M of our auction sales; in 2014, it accounted for $19.4M. This staggering increase is due in part to ever-rising demand for wines from this phenomenal region. In fact, last year for the fi rst time in our history, Burgundy overtook Bordeaux as the largest category of wine sold at HDH auction. But our growing Burgundy sales also point to our larger evolution as a company. Since 2012, HDH has grown by over 60% as an auction house. We’ve worked to develop better ways to interact with clients and address their needs, and, soon, we’ll be moving to a larger location in Chicago so that we can accommodate even more business. It’s an exciting time for Burgundy and for HDH, and we’re delighted to present you with this exceptional sale. Sincerely, Paul Hart CEO HART DAVIS HART WINE CO.
