If You Have Any Doubt That the Wine World’s Center of Gravity Has Shifted
Lafite is auctioning a portion of it’s wine library dating back to 1869:
The collection comes straight from Lafite’s cellars – which Sotheby’s says is a a rare occurrence – and consists of some 2,000 bottles spanning vintages from 1869 to 2008.
‘It is almost unheard of for Lafite to release library vintages from their private cellar, but the estate wanted to take the opportunity to honour some of their biggest fans’, the auction house said.
The auction will be held in Hong Kong.
