Acker Merrall & Condit is also proud to announce the Worldwide Premiere of two large formats direct from the cellars of Dom Perignon: a Jeroboam of Dom Perignon Rose (vintage 1996 and bottle #001), and magnums of Dom Perignon Oenotheque (vintages 1966, 1973 and 1976).
 
In its New York evening Sale featuring the wines of top collector Robert A. Rosania this past Friday April 25th, Acker Merrall & Condit set a new World Record for any Champagne ever sold at auction, when it sold 2 regular bottles of 1959 Dom Perignon Rose, which was never commercially released, for the unbelievable sum of US$84,700.
Leading up to this incredible wine auction is a series of exclusive VIP dinner events including one at the Hong Kong Jockey Club featuring top Burgundy wines from great vintages and another featuring top Bordeaux wines at the China Club. Allen Meadows, aka The Burghound, who is in Hong Kong and Asia for the first time ever, is headlining the event at the Jockey Club, as well as a couple of other very private events. Allen is highly respected and considered the most influential Burgundy Critic in the world. 
 
Owner of Chateau Angelus, Hubert de Bouard, and President of Pichon Lalande, Gildas D’Ollone, will be present to lead the elite evening of their Bordeaux wines back to 1982. 
 
“This is going to be an amazing week, and we feel that Hong Kong is ready to show the world that it means business when it comes to fine wine,” said Mr. Kapon. “At the same time, Acker Merrall & Condit is ready to bring its show on the road in its quest to be the world’s leading wine auction house,” Mr Kapon added.
