Romanee-Conti 1988 May Fetch $158,000 at Christie’s London Sale

A 12-bottle case of Romanee-Conti 1988 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti grand cru Burgundy may fetch as much as 130,000 pounds at a Christie’s International Plc auction in London this month as collector appetite remains high for rare mature wines from the region. Two similar bottles may sell for 22,000 pounds, a magnum of the same producer’s 2005 vintage could fetch 20,000 pounds and a single bottle of its 1999 wine may sell for 15,000 pounds, according to the auction house’s catalog.
