Asian collectors snapped up cases of select vintages in a two-day wine sale by Sotheby's Hong Kong that netted HK$96.8 million - well above the pre-sale estimate.
The top lot, a case of Romanee Conti 1990, went for HK$1.8 million.
Strong prices were also seen in the best vintages from Burgundy producers, demonstrating its increasing appeal in Asia, the auction house said. All lots were sold.
A Sotheby's Hong Kong spokesman described the response to the sale as 'very, very good'.
Jamie Ritchie, Sotheby's Wine president, said: 'The superb condition of the wines, combined with the rarity factor, created strong demand from bidders throughout Asia.'
The pre-sale estimate of the Ultimate Cellar sale of almost 11,000 bottles was HK$55 million to HK$77 million.
