DELAWARE – OCTOBER 17, 2022 – Acker’s Fall auction season continued last week with a sale on October 13th and 14th live online from Delaware.  The Exceptional Cellar of John Tilson electrified the sales floor as bidders battled over selections from the esteemed collection.  The sale was very active, achieving $5.6 Million over the two days with 96% of lots sold and 102 New World Records.  This is the first of two October U.S. auctions for Acker, the second of which is coming up on October 27th, a special single-seller evening sale featuring The Eclipse Collection, Part I.

Burgundy took a back seat for a change in the Top Ten Lots, with a rare 12-bottle lot of 1990 J.L. Chave Ermitage Cuvee Cathelin in OWCs capturing the number one position at a an impressive $136,950. Domaine de la Romanee Conti took the next three positions with ten bottles of 1995 La Tache bringing in $47,310, twelve bottles of 1996 Richebourg in banded OWC yielding $43,575, and twelve bottles of 1996 Grands Echezeaux in OWC selling for $39,840.  The fifth spot was a three-way tie between one magnum of 1991 DRC La Tache, which earned a New World Record, nine bottles of 2001 Domaine Leroy Vosne Romanee Les Beaux Monts, and twelve bottles of 1993 R. Engel Clos Vougeot, each securing $37,350.  Engel also took the next position with ten bottles of 1990 Grands Echezeaux picking up $34,860, and DRC closed out the top ten lots with four bottles of 1990 La Tache and one magnum of the same, each selling for $32,370.

“Special cellars bring special results, and none more so than the Exceptional Cellar of John Tilson!  It’s always a thrill to represent selections from his legendary collection, and we are excited to have yet another legendary collection coming up in less than two weeks.  On October 27th, Acker will present the brilliant Eclipse Collection, Part I, in a special single-cellar evening session.” commented Acker Chairman John Kapon.  “We also have my birthday auction, which looks to be an incredible sale, coming up on November 19th, and I couldn’t be happier to be headed back to Hong Kong for our first live auction in nearly three years on December 9th and 10th! It looks to be a grand finale for 2022!”

Acker’s auction season continues in the U.S. on Thursday, October 27th and in Hong Kong for a fine & rare spirits sale on Saturday, October 29th.  Acker is currently accepting wines for The Birthday Auction on November 19th, with a deadline coming up on October 21st, and the live December 9th & 10th Hong Kong auction, with a deadline of November 11th.
