Are you sure that’s not a typo on their part? Exactly 10 times high estimate seems too much of a coincidence on top of the crazy-seeming price. Given the current environment, though, nothing is impossible.
Could be a typo. If so, hasn’t been corrected yet. This is exactly the kind of very thinly traded wine that could achieve a crazy price though. Would be a world auction record for a 750 of Volnay presumably?
I did the same. Some of these prices have just gone Berserk! Missed the Pousse d’Or lot but had a watch on it because it was my birth year. I can unequivocally say it’s not worth it. Haha.
I just peaked through the sale, and didn’t see anything else out of whack like this. Prices are solid to strong, but I wouldn’t say these are crazy results so far. Anything else standing out?
I have a 5L of '72 Pousse d’or Clos de la Bousse d’Or. Sure, '72 (my birth year) isn’t '78, but burgundy insiders love it. I can find something else to drink on my 50th.
