Cheval Blanc 1947 Double Magnum on Sale at Sotheby’s New York

A double magnum of Chateau Cheval Blanc 1947 goes on sale at a Sotheby’s New York wine auction next month, while Acker Merrall & Condit has bottles of Chateau Latour 2003 and a magnum of Cros Parantoux 1988 Henri Jayer.

The Cheval Blanc double magnum, reviewed by the chateau and which Sotheby’s estimates may fetch $60,000-$90,000, comes from the vintage rated one of the top two of the past 65 years for the Saint-Emilion producer by U.S. wine critic Robert Parker. A 12-bottle case of the same wine sold for HK$1.23 million ($158,000) at a Zachys Hong Kong auction in January.
