Mr. Dillon's great-grandson, Prince Robert of Luxembourg, who has been
presiding over Domaine Clarence Dillon since 2008, wished to create a grand
finale to crown these events. As a result, in collaboration with Lord Linley
(the founder of Linley fine bespoke furniture), Prince Robert has designed
and commissioned a limited series of furniture: 20 wine consoles, a true work
of art designed to house the most prestigious collection of Chateau
Haut-Brion vintages (15 reds and 5 whites).

Eleven of these consoles will be auctioned off throughout the course of
2011 and 2012 in the same countries where the prestigious anniversary dinners
were held in 2010: France, England, America, China, Japan and Russia.

All proceeds from the sales will be donated to a variety of hand-picked
local charities working in the fields of health, education and childhood
development.

Prince Robert of Luxembourg will launch the series of auctions at amfAR's
celebrated Cinema Against AIDS Gala on Thursday, May 19 during the Cannes
Film Festival.

During the festival, a console of red wines will be auctioned off, with
all proceeds benefiting amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research. This benefit
gala is one of the most prestigious charity events in Europe and has been
held for the past 18 years during the Cannes Film Festival.
