Decanter tallies the results of the Zachys wine auction that took place last weekend. The auction was the third-highest in modern history, bringing in $9,760,140 which was the highest ever for one seller. Pretty amazing considering that this is only one third of the seller’s collection. Some highlights included five cases of Henri Jayer Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux covering vintages from 1955 to 1999 which fetched $88,500; three magnums of 1950 Chateau Lafleur going for over $30,000 each; a magnum of 1947 Cheval Blanc was sold for $42,480 and a bottle of 1811 Château d’Yquem which reached $30,680.
