The money will go to a foundation helping to treat and cure mitochondrial diseases.
“This auction combines a selection of very rare wines, that come with impeccable provenance and condition, with the generosity and philanthropy of a dedicated part of the wine community,” Jamie Ritchie, the worldwide chairman of Sotheby’s Wine & Spirits, said in a statement.In total, the bottles are estimated to bring in about $2.8 million, with individual lot estimates ranging from $150 all the way up to $90,000.
Some of the standouts that will be on sale from the prince’s collection include historic vintages of Château Haut-Brion, including bottles from more than a century ago . Also featured are the vineyard’s legendary 1924 and 1926 Jeroboams. “When I first entertained the idea of emptying out my cellar in this rather public fashion, there was not a minute of hesitation from my family,” Prince Robert said in a statement. “Thanks to everyone’s generosity, we have now succeeded in putting together one of the very finest collections of wine that Sotheby’s has ever brought to auction.”The royal family’s friends and family have also donated to the auction.
