Wine investment: Legendary wines shine at auction

Fine wine classics have shone at auctions this autumn and the Super Tuscans continue to perform well.

Legendary wines have gone under the hammer during the auction houses’ autumn sales season, from Hong Kong to the US.

Château Mouton Rothschild 1945, a Decanter Wine Legend, was the top-selling lot at the Christie’s Epic Cellar II auction in Hong Kong in early October. Twelve bottles in their original wooden case (OWC) sold for HK$1.25m (£123,321), including buyer’s premium (pre-sale high estimate: HK$1.1m).

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Romanée-Conti 1990 achieved the second highest price, at HK$937,500 for six bottles (OWC; high e: HK$900,000).
