BEVERLY HILLS, CA.- A full wood case of 1966 Domaine de la Roman閑-Conti Roman閑-Conti is estimated to bring $85,000+as the highlight lot from the superb collection of an American financier in the
Heritage and Greg Martin Auctions joint Signature Wine Auction, Thursday, June 16, at the Heritage Beverly Hills offices, 9478 West Olympic Blvd.
The auction will be simulcast from the Heritage Beverly Hills office on June 16 at 6 p.m., PST to the Island Shangri-La Hotel in Hong Kong, June 17 at 9 a.m. HKT.
揟his special collaboration brings together resources from both Heritage and Greg Martin for a very deep summer auction that should excite discerning wine connoisseurs, said Frank Martell, Director of Fine Wines at Heritage, 損articularly those of France抯 most celebrated wine estates: Ch鈚eau Latour, Ch鈚eau Margaux, and Ch鈚eau Lafite Rothschild.
In particular, aficionados of Ch鈚eau Lafite Rothschild will find reason to celebrate the offerings in the auction, with a seldom seen 1949 Ch鈚eau Lafite Rothschild, in desirable 2.5 Liter 揚ot Gascogne format, perhaps topping the list with a $5,500+ estimate. A single bottle of 1891 Ch鈚eau Lafite Rothschild, originally dating to the historic Heublein auctions in 1980, is also sure to motivate collectors with its unimpeachable provenance. It is estimated at $2,400+.
Among astute oenophiles 2000 Ch鈚eau Mouton Rothschild is a much coveted name and a 12-bottle lot (estimate: $11,000+) and 6 Liter imperial (estimate: $9,000+) of the esteemed vintage should command bids to equal that regard when they come on the block. Likewise, several lots of 2000 Ch鈚eau Petrus, with full case quantities (estimate: $37,500+), should inspire the palates and the bids of collectors.
An extremely rare bottle of 1937 Domaine de la Roman閑-Conti Roman閑-Conti (estimate: $10,000+) provides for one of the auction抯 most alluring and intriguing lots, while a 12-bottle lot of 1989 La Mission Haut-Brion (estimate: $9,000+), a wine that has developed a devoted following in the 20+ years since its vintage, will find a new home when it comes up for auction as part of the June 16 event.
