Burgundy 'sizzles' in Hong Kong as top Bordeaux falls below estimates
Nov 10, 2011 6
(Decanter) - Top Bordeaux wines including Lafite-Rothschild failed to achieve their lowest estimates at a recent Hong Kong wine auction - while Burgundy hit new heights. Acker, Merrill and Condit's sale of US collector Don Stott's cellar sold a number of Bordeaux lots last weekend, including Lafite-Rothschild 1982, which was estimated to sell at HK$320,000-HK$480,000 (£25,000-38,500).
Bidders picked it up for a much lower HK$260,000 (£20,800), and other first growth prices were similarly subdued.
