拥有波尔多一级庄奥比安金融家C道格拉斯狄龙在纽约长老会医院逝世，享年93岁。

Financier C. Douglas Dillon, whose family owns Bordeaux first-growth Château Haut-Brion, died on Jan. 10 at New York Presbyterian Hospital. He was 93.

Dillon's father, Clarence, purchased Haut-Brion in 1935, making the Pessac-Léognan estate the only first-growth owned by Americans. Ownership was eventually transferred to Douglas. The family holding company, Domaine Clarence Dillon, now also owns châteaus La Mission-Haut-Brion, La Tour-Haut-Brion and Laville Haut Brion.

Dillon had been in poor health for a while, according to his grandson, Robert de Luxembourg, vice president of Domaine Clarence Dillon. He died with his wife, Susan, and his two daughters (from his first marriage) by his side, and was buried on Wednesday in Manhattan.

Dillon was a Harvard University graduate who enjoyed great success on Wall Street. His father founded the international banking house Dillon, Read & Co., of which Douglas ultimately became chairman.

Over the years, Dillon held many other prestigious posts. He served as chairman of the Rockefeller Foundation, chairman of the Brookings Institution and vice chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, along with holding high positions in the State Department. Under President Dwight Eisenhower, he served as ambassador to France, and he was Secretary of the Treasury under two presidents: John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson.

Due to rules preventing Treasury officials from owning alcohol-beverage companies, Dillon turned over ownership of Haut-Brion in 1961 to his children, and Joan de Mouchy has headed the company since the 1970s.

Robert de Luxembourg expressed particular pride in what his grandfather had accomplished in fostering relations between the United States and France, particularly through his work with Alliance Française. The Dillon family, with Douglas at the helm, received the Pilier d'Or from Alliance Française in 1998, honoring him for those contributions.

Dillon, who was an ardent art collector (along with his first wife, Phyllis, who died in 1982), also did extensive work for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, including serving as its president.
