Impressive results expected to continue in strong wine market

DALLAS, Texas (June 7, 2019) — Provenance leads the way in the upcoming Heritage Auction's Fine & Rare Wine Auction June 21-22 in Beverly Hills, California, simulcast to Hong Kong. The focused sale of 900+ lots sourced from three keystone consignments among other fantastic cellars is poised to exceed expectations and continue a strong Spring of wine sales.

"This auction includes three exceptional collections among others that have something for everyone-as long as you love rare wine," Heritage Auctions Fine Wine Senior Director Frank Martell said. "This really is a big sale of big wines for big appetites."

As usual, Domaine de la Roamanne Conti is the biggest draw, with highlights listed below, among others:

· Romanée Conti 1980 Domaine de la Romanée Conti Bottle (1) – estimate: $13,000-16,000

· Richebourg 1985 Domaine de la Romanée Conti Bottle (1) – estimate: $3,500-4,500

· La Tache 2006 Domaine de la Romanée Conti Bottle (1) – estimate: $3,000-4,000

Screaming Eagle 2003-2015 in their original wooden cases, all in pristine condition, are the highlight here, as well as the ABC's of California (Abreu, Bryant and Colgin).
