COMMENT: Edwin Vos, Head of Wine Sales Continental Europe, declared: “We devised a specific strategy with the wine auctions held across the last two days here in Geneva. We rightly felt there was an opportunity in the market and a high demand for such type of sale especially in Switzerland which we hoped would appeal to the international group of discerning buyers at the very top end of the market. This has paid off with sale through rates of 96 percent and a sale total of SFR. 3.7 million‎. Standout performances within the sale were the Chartreuse and Jayer sections, sourced privately or directly from the Domaine, performing at 257 percent and 130 percent versa low estimate respectively. We will be back in May to build on this success and will follow the same criteria when putting together the sale: rarity, quality, fresh to the market and sourced privately.”
