Chateau la Mission Haut Brion
When wine connoisseurs consider the different vintages of Château La Mission Haut-Brion, they recognise them as some of the world’s greatest wines. When Prince Robert of Luxembourg looks at these wines, he sees the history of the company his family has managed for four generations – and much more. “What I see in these bottles is a number of old friends, a number of legends, a number of bottles that I’ve never had the opportunity to taste and probably never will, because they’re so rare in their number,” he says. “And I would never dare open up some of these old vintages, because they might be one of four bottles that we have left in the cellar.”
On 19 October, collectors will have the opportunity to acquire such rarities and more from a century of winemaking, when 270 lots from Château La Mission Haut-Brion come up for auction at Sotheby’s New York. “It’s always with a heavy heart, to a degree, that we relinquish some of the stars of our cellar,” says Prince Robert. “But this is a wine estate. We make wine to be shared, to be enjoyed, and it’s exciting to have an opportunity to do this in New York, which is also where my family comes from
