Hong Kong – Christie’s is pleased to present Christie's Wine Online/HKG auction from 28 Mar to 11 April, featuring exceptional red and white drinking vintages from Bordeaux, the world’s premiere fine wine region. Of particular note are specialist selection lots that feature mixed wines from different Châteaux, communes and vertical and horizontal vintage collections. This sale will offer buyers the opportunity to increase their knowledge and tasting experiences of the nuances of the Bordeaux communes and subtle differences between the vintages in one purchase.

One of the highlights is an exquisite single-owner collection from a private collector, who is delighted to be sharing these vinous treasures. The wines have come direct from Bordeaux City Bond to Hong Kong specifically for this sale and were bought En Primeur. These are in excellent condition and will provide immense drinking pleasure to those lucky buyers.

In addition, the sale includes a magnificent selection of Château Lafite-Rothschild 1982, offered in one to six-bottle lots. These delicate, world famous red Bordeaux will be perfect to share with friends and family in the festive season.

Also on offer is a superb parcel of the legendary 1982 Château Lafite by a notable Thai collector. The 1994 Château Lafite Rebuchon tags affirm that they were recorked by the Château, making this an especially significant offering as Château Lafite only recorks for significant collectors.
