A 114-bottle lot of Romanee-Conti Burgundy estimated to sell for as much as HK$20 million ($2.6 million) at Sotheby’s started with just six bottles of the 1992 vintage and was assembled gradually, according to Simon Larkin, owner and managing director of Atlas Fine Wines Ltd. in London.
The collection, spanning 1992 to 2010 with six bottles from each vintage, carries the highest pre-sale estimate for a single lot of wine at auction, New York-based Sotheby’s said.
