S otheby’s Wine is honored to present the culmination of The Epicurean’s Atlas in New York, marking the end of a remarkable journey in New York before returning to Hong Kong.

This final chapter showcases an extraordinary collection of top producers from around the globe. Burgundy’s crown jewels take center stage alongside Bordeaux legends, timeless Champagne, and an exquisite array of Italian wines and New World icons.

Opening with the finest of Bordeaux in an array of rare and coveted formats, the sale features an Imperial of 1982 Petrus and a double magnum of 1959 Château Lafite. Burgundy legends follow, led by a 6-bottle original wood case of 1999 Romanée Conti and a 3-pack of Domaine d’Auvenay Bâtard Montrachet 2013, both in original wood.

Champagne shines with extensive verticals of Salon, Krug, and Dom Pérignon, including exceptional highlights such as 6 bottles of 1996 Krug Clos d’Ambonnay and pristine examples of 1982 Dom Pérignon P3.

Concluding the sale, gems from the New World stand out, featuring iconic bottles such as the 1974 Robert Mondavi Reserve and inaugural vintages from Opus One and Screaming Eagle, rounding out this extraordinary collection. At the heart of Pierre's wine appreciation has always been a desire to share, a desire which is now extended further in New York, with these lots now offered to the world from this great cellar.


“To me, wine is the 9th art. It is the only art form one can consume, using senses that other art forms don’t typically involve, such as one’s taste and smell, and it requires creativity on the part of the owner. ”

"The combination of wine, food, and company at any one moment makes each encounter totally unique, but every memory of every encounter brings a smile to my face. I suppose that is the magic of wine to me: the power to relive moments through a single sip."
