(Reuters) - Sotheby's in London will sell what it describes as "one of the greatest" private cellars of Bordeaux in a two day sale expected to generate worldwide interest, the auction house said on Tuesday.
The collection features prized vintages of the five First Growth Bordeaux wines, including Château Lafite 1986, Château Latour 1996, Château Margaux 1986, Château Haut Brion 1995 and Château Mouton Rothschild 1995 -- all considered to be top red wines of the Gironde area in southwest France.
The 1475-lot auction of "pristine quality" is expected to top 2.1 million pounds ($3.2 million), Sotheby's said.
