The Dr A. Botenga Cellar: Six Decades of Collecting Part II

The Dr A. Botenga Cellar: Six Decades of Collecting Part II will be offered at Christie’s King Street on 1 December and follows directly on from Part I in Hong Kong.

The London sale has a low estimate of over £1,800,000 and includes arguably the greatest offering of mature Bordeaux presented in London this decade. Like the Hong Kong sale, Part II celebrates the greatest wines of Bordeaux in legendary vintages from the golden era of wine making in the region. All the First Growth Chateaux feature in legion, with vintages reaching back to 1914 and including every five star vintage of the pre and post-War years.

An additional element to this collection is that many of the rarest wines are offered not only in bottle, but also in halves, magnum and in some cases larger formats – notable examples, include Lafite-Rothschild 1945 in half bottle and the towering legend of Latour 1961 in magnum and bottle format. Moving to the Right Bank, we’re thrilled to present one of the most comprehensive collections of Petrus we’ve seen in many years, with vintages ranging from the 1960s, through to the late 1980s, and featuring in a wide range of formats.
