HONG KONG.- Sotheby’s Wine will present three exceptional sales in Hong Kong from 5 to 7 July, which opens the Sotheby’s Hong Kong Spring 2020 auction series, and brings to the market nearly 3,000 lots with a combined pre-sale estimate of HK$120-169 million / US$15-22 million.

Adam Bilbey, Head of Sotheby’s Wine, Asia, states: “We are proud to open the 2020 Spring Sale series in Hong Kong with two unmissable single-owner wine sales: Magnificent Bordeaux from the Cellar of Sir Dickson Poon offers some of the very finest Bordeaux in enviable depth; The Summit, A Complete Cellar is one of the greatest collections of top Burgundies and Rhônes to come to market, with an incredible selection of large formats. This season’s Finest & Rarest Wines and Spirits brings a plethora of much sought-after Scotch and Japanese whiskies, as well as Kweichow Moutai, with a diverse offering catering to all tastes and budgets.

Kevin Ching, CEO of Sotheby's Asia, added: “I was absolutely thrilled when Sir Dickson Poon decided to entrust his superb collection of wine to Sotheby’s for auction this Spring. Renowned for his business acumen and international market leadership in luxury retail, he applies the same exacting standard and discipline to his passion for wine collecting, resulting in this magnificent collection of Bordeaux.”

6 July 2020

The sale will present a magnificent selection of wines from the private cellar of renowned international businessman, Sir Dickson Poon, featuring over 490 lots with a combined estimate in excess of HK$13 Million / US$1.7 Million.

Focused on Bordeaux, Sir Dickson Poon’s collection brings some of the very finest Chateaux and certain great vintages of the 80s and 90s in depth, with the majority still in their original wooden cases. Sir Dickson’s close link with the United Kingdom means he was able to source great quantities of the finest Bordeaux from trusted UK merchants and auction houses including Sotheby’s, in original cases and in many instances, on release. With the stock lying under perfect storage conditions at a bonded warehouse in the UK, this is a rare chance to acquire from one of the finest collections of Bordeaux in the world.
