Stephen Mould, European Head of Sotheby’s Wine Department, commented: “We were delighted with the result of
yesterday’s auction. The first two cellars accounted for over a third of the sale total. From these two collections, Burgundy
proved the most popular and the DRC from the first cellar performed strongly. The Georges Roumier section from the
second cellar generated huge interest and telephone bidding reached fever pitch, with many prices going well over the high
estimate. Elsewhere, Bordeaux sold well, with Le Pin 2000 in bottles and Lafleur 1982 in magnums appearing in the top ten.
However, the brightest “star” of the sale was the two six-bottle lots of Quinta do Noval Nacional 1963 which sold for over
three times the estimate at £23,500 each. This is a record for Vintage Port at auction, justifying its reputation as the “must
have” port for connoisseurs. We now look forward with anticipation to our 10 December auction which has over 1400 lots –
plenty of wines to whet one’s appetite for Christmas!”
