Toasting Sotheby’s New Wine Collection
Sotheby’s Wine experts have teamed up with their favourite producers for an exciting new range of wines.
W ines with integrity – that’s the philosophy at the heart of the new Sotheby’s Own Label Collection. Sotheby’s specialists have sought to celebrate the truest expressions of some of the world’s most famed appellations, creating a go-to range that is sure to – as Jamie Ritchie, Chairman of Sotheby’s Wine puts it – “give a lot of pleasure”. “They are made for buying by the case and for always being on hand to be served, whoever stops by,” he adds.
It’s a collection characterised by attention to detail – from the carefully chosen, respected producers with whom Sotheby’s has long-standing relationships, to the label designs and “lot numbers” that both reference Sotheby’s heritage as an auction house and unique aspects of the winemakers’ own stories.
With 13 to choose from (and more on the way), available as a mixed case, half case or full case, and including sparkling wines, reds, whites and one rosé, there’s a bottle for every occasion. Now available at sothebyswine.com or in the Sotheby’s Wine shop on York Avenue, New York. All orders over $75 ship for free.

- 2018 Sotheby’s Sonoma County Chardonnay, $24.95
Producer: Lioco
Matt and Sara Licklider and their team make subtle Chardonnays that combine the ripeness of Californian fruit with greater minerality and brisk acidity. We’ve been carrying Lioco’s wines in our store for many years and this is exactly the kind of balanced California wine we admire.
- 2018 Sotheby’s Sancerre Rosé, $22.95
Producer: André Dézat & Fils
The Dézat family has a history of winemaking in Sancerre that dates back to the 16th century and they own one of the most respected estates in the region. Firmin Dézat is now at the helm and makes a crisp, dry and eminently refreshing rosé with excellent minerality and subtle fruit.
- NV Sotheby’s Champagne: Blanc de Blancs, Grand Cru, $36.95 (bottle) or $79.95 (magnum)
Producer: Legras
Winemaker Julien Barbier of the Legras family makes our best-selling wine from 100% Grand Cru vineyards in Chouilly, and supplies the house Champagne for a number of three-Michelin-star restaurants. We first tasted it in the Sotheby’s boardroom in 1991 and are proud to serve it at our events.
- 2018 Sotheby's Sancerre, $22.95
Producer: André Dézat & Fils
The Dézat family has a history of winemaking in Sancerre that dates back to the 16th century and is one of the most respected estates in the region. Firmin Dézat is now at the helm and makes a classic, mineral, chalky, chiseled Sancerre. We have been working with him since we launched our retail business and it is our #2 best selling wine.
- 2018 Sotheby's Prosecco Valdobbiadene Superiore Brut, $16.95
Producer: Mongarda
Our Brut Prosecco is drier than most styles, which makes it clean, crisp and refreshing. It is produced by the Mongarda family, who makes wines from old vines in one of the most prized regions of the Veneto. The family focuses on growing healthy, quality grapes so that they can take a more non-interventionist approach in the cellar and let the vintage and vineyards speak through the wine. The reason we chose it is simple: it outclassed all other proseccos and is the best we have tasted.
- 2016 Sotheby's Bourgogne Blanc, $36.95
Producer: Françoise et Denis Clair
This is a classic white Burgundy that balances richness with minerality. It is produced by the Clair family, a small family property we have been visiting for years which has an established track record of producing classic, enjoyable, terroir-driven wines. This Bourgogne Blanc delivers far more complexity and depth than you find in standard Bourgogne Blanc because it is actually made from Jean-Baptiste Clair’s 1er Cru Frionnes vineyard in St. Aubin. It is perfect as an aperitif or with seafood, fish or chicken.
- 2016 Sotheby’s Bourgogne Rouge, $36.95
Producer: Françoise et Denis Clair
A fragrant Burgundy with a lightness of touch, but plenty of depth of character. It is produced by the Clair family, who have a record of producing terroir-driven wines. This Bourgogne Rouge is made from Jean-Baptiste Clair’s Premier Cru Beaurepaire vineyard in Santenay.
- 2017 Sotheby’s Pessac-Leognan, $24.95
Producer: Château Haut-Bailly
Our friends at Haut-Bailly make luscious, rich and approachable wines in Pessac-Léognan. The talented Veronique Sanders has managed the property for the Wilmers family for more than 20 years.
- 2017 Sotheby’s St. Emilion, $34.95
Producer: Château Corbin
Annabelle Cruse Bardinet comes from a long line of winemakers and has pushed the quality of Château Corbin to the next level. She creates structured, balanced St. Emilions with generous expressions of fruit. Her wines are particularly food-friendly, soft, easygoing and good value.
- 2017 Sotheby's Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, $39.95
Producer: Lioco
Matt & Sara Licklider and their team make Pinots with minerality, depth, integrity and plenty of flavour. We’ve been carrying Lioco’s wines in our store for many years and this is exactly the kind of balanced style of California wines we admire. We recently did a blind tasting of a selection of Pinot Noirs at Sotheby’s and this was the overwhelming favorite.
- 2010 Sotheby's Haut-Medoc, $24.95
Producer: Chateau Maucamps
Our favourite and best-selling everyday red Bordeaux from a Cru Bourgeois Château. We’ve been carrying the wines of the Tessandier family since we first opened our retail store and they have been some of our best selling wines. Classic, rich, fruity and savory - a truly satisfying Bordeaux
- 2017 Sotheby's Langhe Nebbiolo, $24.95
Producer: Paolo Scavino
We have known Elisa Scavino for 20 years now, whose family is based in Barolo. Her father Enrico was a pioneer in experimenting with 100% barrique oak and established himself as an avant garde winemaker in the region. Elisa’s Langhe Nebbiolo balances freshness and acidity with enough opulence and richness.
