Sotheby's Auction to Feature Rare Château Lafite Wines from Scottish Castle Cellar
Sotheby's is set to auction two magnums of Château Lafite 1870, discovered in the cellar of Glamis Castle in Scotland. These bottles, considered legendary, are part of the 'Immortal Vintages' auction on April 17, featuring over 250 lots of Bordeaux wine spanning two centuries. The magnums, expected to sell for up to $50,000 each, were found in the 1970s and are prized for their pre-phylloxera status, offering a glimpse into a 'lost' style of winemaking. The auction is anticipated to fetch over $1 million.
