Asia’s Most Sought after Wine in Pristine Condition with Perfect Provenance
Vintages Spanning 139 Years
That Have Never before Left the Château’s Cellars
No other wine has captured the imagination of the Chinese wine connoisseur like Château Lafite-Rothschild. From the high-end restaurants that line Beijing’s Dongcheng District to Shanghai’s Three on the Bund Complex, Lafite is a name that inspires a hushed reverence. So it is fitting that on 29 October 2010, Sotheby’s Hong Kong is dedicating an evening auction at the Mandarin Oriental to wines procured directly from Lafite. Nearly 2,000 bottles, dating from 1869 to 2008—and which have never left the Château until now—will be offered for sale. It is almost unheard of for Lafite to release library vintages from their private cellar, but the estate wanted to take the opportunity to honor some of their biggest fans. The sale is expected to fetch between $1.5 and $2.5 million.
