Stephen Mould, Head of Sotheby's Wine, Europe, said: "We kicked off the New Year with a superb cellar from a "Secret Grotto", amassed over several decades and consisting of vinous gems centred around Bordeaux. Le Pin and Petrus were the brightest stars of the day, while prices for the First Growths were solid throughout, with the 2000 vintage leading the way. The Second Growths on offer, including Cos d'Estournel, Léoville Lascases and Montrose, all performed well, as did wines from St Emilion - Cheval Blanc, Ausone, Figeac and Angélus. A smattering of Burgundy and wines from Gaja were also sought-after. We now look forward to sales in Hong Kong on 27 January and in New York on 24 February."
