Charles Curtis MW, Head of Christie’s North American Wine Sales, says: “We were encouraged by today’s results, with the auction performance robust, despite well-publicized concerns about the global economic outlook. As ever, top Bordeaux and Burgundy performed admirably, with sustained interest from a variety of quarters. We now look forward to the rest of our Fall season, with some exciting sales to come.”
