A case of Chteau Ptrus 1990 fetched $45,938, and 12 bottles of the same producers 1989 vintage sold for $42,875, to lead a Sothebys wine auction in New York dominated by buyers from North and South America. The auction shows renewed buyer appetite for older Bordeaux vintages and rare burgundies, following price declines for younger wines, particularly first-growth claret. The Liv-ex 100 Fine Wine Index has retreated for 14 consecutive months, resulting in a 13-per-cent drop since March 2013.
