SOTHEBY’S JUNE WINE
AUCTION IN NEW YORK
Sale Features Two Superb Cellars: Legendary
Burgundies From The Greatest Domaines and Stellar
Bordeaux From The Best Vintages
On 21 June 2014 in New York the sale of Finest
and Rarest Wines will feature select bottles from
a great collection of Red and White Burgundy put
together
by
one
of
Sotheby’s
most
knowledgeable collectors and recently removed
from
their
private
temperature
controlled
storage. Domaines JF Coche-Dury, Leflaive,
Raveneau, Roulot and Dauvissat are just some of
the outstanding White Burgundies while the
stellar Red Burgundy includes DRC and Domaines
Roumier, Rousseau, Leroy, Mugnier, and Comte
Georges de Vogüé. Highlights from Bordeaux
include cases of Château Pétrus from 1989 and
1990, cases of Lafite Rothschild 1990 in double
magnum, and 5 cases of Château Haut Brion 1990 in formats ranging from bottle to double
magnum.
Duncan Sterling, Head of Sotheby’s New York Wine Auctions, commented: “This exclusive
selection of Burgundy comes from one of the greatest collections of Red and White
Burgundy in the United States. The collector is constantly searching for allocations of the
rarest wines in order to stock up on favorites, as well as to try new producers, a careful
pruning is sometimes necessary, which is great news for Burgundy lovers who now have a
special opportunity to acquire these rare wines from many top vintages. Not to be
overlooked is stellar Bordeaux including cases of Château Pétrus from the superb 1989 and
1990 vintages. A special focus on the great 1995 vintage on the Left Bank includes cases of
1995 Haut Brion, Lafite and Latour all in parcel quantities.”
