- Description
- Sotheby’s is honored to have been entrusted by an esteemed Asian collector to present a selection from this Classic Cellar this April.Immersed in the vibrant world of hospitality and gastronomy from a young age, the collector has cultivated a sophisticated palate, a deep appreciation for classic wines, and an unwavering commitment to quality. A successful entrepreneur and esteemed wine connoisseur, he is also renowned as a hotel and restaurant operator. His discerning taste shines through in this exceptional collection.This remarkable collection features some of the most exquisite Bordeaux Classified Growths and gems from legendary vintages such as Mouton Rothschild 1982, Latour 1982 and Petrus 1989. It also includes distinguished Champagnes from renowned houses such as Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 1995 and Krug Clos du Mesnil 1990. Complementing these are wines from the iconic Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, spanning the late 1980s to 1990s. Offered in generous parcel quantities, this collection is a true celebration of elegance, tradition, and excellence.Most of the collection has been acquired over the past three decades from UK and local wine merchants. Almost 100% of the wines were purchased more than 20 years ago. Vintage 1995 and onwards such as Mouton Rothschild and Comte de Champagne were mostly ordered and purchased on release in parcel quantities. The wines have been professionally stored in two professional, temperature-controlled cellars since.SPECIAL NOTICESPlease note that bidders are required to provide government issued photo identification.For certain lots, deposits may be required.Sotheby’s has sole discretion to request deposits and cancel bids if requirements are not met by bidders.請留意，競投人須提供由政府簽發並具照片的身份證明文件。競投人如出價競投某些拍品，須先提交定金。蘇富比全權酌情決定要求競投人提交定金，或在競投人無法符合要求的情況下取消其出價。Under the law of Hong Kong, intoxicating liquor must not be sold or supplied to a minor in the course of business.根據香港法律，不得在業務過程中，向未成年人售賣或供應令人醺醉的酒類。The Hong Kong Tax has been fully paid on these lots, however, the buyer has sole responsibility for any transport costs and any duty or taxes when shipping the lot outside of Hong Kong.本拍品在入口香港時已付清相關稅項，但買家須自行支付所有運輸費用、及運送拍品到香港以外地區所產生的關稅或稅項。Please note: Sotheby’s cannot assist with international shipping of Wine Spirits from Hong Kong auctions.請注意： 蘇富比不會為在香港拍賣的洋酒及烈酒提供國際付運支援服務。GLOSSARY OF ABBREIVATIONSUllages (Level of Wine or Spirit)For bottles with defined shoulders the ullage/level is indicated, if applicable, by its relative position in the bottle.Our interpretations are as follows:u.- ullage/ullages (levels)bn.- bottom neck; completely acceptable for any age of wine or spiritvts.- very top shoulder; completely acceptable for any age of wine or spiritts.- top shoulder; usual level for wines or spirits over 15 years oldhs.- high shoulder; typical reduction through the cork, usually no problemms.- mid shoulder; usually some deterioration of the cork and therefore some variationExample: (u. 3hs) means 3 bottles ullaged to high shoulder.For Burgundy, German and other wines in bottles with sloping necks the ullage is indicated incentimetres, measured from the base of the cork.Example: (u. 2x5cm) means 2 bottles ullaged 5 centimetres.Fully branded corkindicates the producer, vineyard and vintage are legible on the cork.Branded corkindicates that the cork is branded with either the producer, wine and/or vintage being legible on the cork.Sotheby’s does not indicate levels under 3 cm in the necks of the bottles inspected.Parcelis a group of lots of the same type and quantity of wine.Sotheby’s does not comment on either back labels or importer labelsBottle Sizes:hb.- half bottleimp.pt.- imperial pinthf.ltr.- half litrebt 70- 70clbt 50- 50clbt 5- 5clbt 1- 1clbt(s).- bottle(s)ltr.- litremag.- magnumm-j.- marie-jeanned.mag.- double magnumjero.- jeroboamreho.- rehoboamimp.- imperialmeth.- methuselahsalm.- salmanazarbalth.- balthazarnebu.- nebuchadnezzarmelr.- melchiorPacking:(cn) carton(oc) original carton(ot) original tube(owc) original wooden case(opc) original presentationCase(nop) no original packaging(sc) Sotheby’s carton(brl) barrel(hgh) hogshead(wc) wooden caseGeneral[ ]believed e.g. [1970] believed 1970cm.centimetresbt(s)bottle(s)For assistance with bidding and registration, please contact:bids.hongkong@sothebys.com+852 2524 8121For all sale enquiries please contact:George Lacey |George.Lacey@sothebys.com| +852 2822 5501Director, Head of Wine, AsiaPaul Wong |Paul.Wong@sothebys.com| +852 2822 5541Director, Head of Wine Spirits, ChinaJacky Chan |Jacky.Chan@sothebys.com| +852 2822 8173Deputy Director,Specialist, Wine SpiritsDylan Lan |Dylan.Lan@sothebys.com| +852 2822 5585Specialist, WineAnthony Choi |Anthony.Choi@sothebys.com| +852 2822 8174WineSpecialist, PropertyNicole Lui |Nicole.Lui@sothebys.com| +852 2822 5522Specialist, Wine
