A committed and knowledgeable collector of both art and wine, Lord Lloyd Webber has built up a magnificent cellar over many years, part of which will be offered for sale at Sotheby’s Hong Kong on 22nd January, 2011. The sale of The Andrew Lloyd Webber Wine Collection offers a total of 747 lots and is expected to fetchHK$21.8 – 32 million / US$2.8 – 4.1 million.*
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s vinous devotion is to France and this sale contains mature, classic wines that can be broached immediately (1982 Bordeaux for example), to stupendous vintages that can age further, such as the formidable 2005s. The collection features all five First Growths in key vintages such as 1982, 2000 and 2005, as well as a range of Domaine Leflaive – one of the greatest producers of White Burgundy and the fabulous Domaine de la Romanée Conti (DRC) Red Burgundy.
