Burgundy reigns in NY and HK
May 28, 2013 6(TheDrinksBusiness) - Burgundy topped the results at Acker Merrall & Condit’s New York sale and Christie’s Hong Kong auction last week.
At Acker Merrall’s sale it was wines from the commune of Vosne-Romanée which attracted the most interest.
Cases of 2009 Liger-Belair la Romanée, an assortment of 1996 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and six bottles of 1996 Henri Jayer Cros Parantoux tied for first place at US$29,520 apiece, while a three bottle case of 2004 Romanée-Conti went for $27,060.
There was also strong bidding for the Spanish and Italian lots, a clear example, said Acker Merrall, of the “ongoing diversification occurring in the marketplace.”
CEO, John Kapon, said: “The 2013 auction market remains healthy, with collectors worldwide continuing to seek out Burgundy and Bordeaux’s great winemakers and vineyards. Another important trend this year is that both older and recent vintages are being sought after by clients worldwide.
