“It has certainly been a whirlwind forty-eight hours for me, as we not only hammered two days of spectacular selections in Hong Kong, but we also finalized our May Delaware auction, which is one of the most beautiful catalogs we have ever made,” exclaimed Acker Chairman, John Kapon. “It was a thrill to have such an assortment of extraordinary collections from Martine Saunier, Duroche, Haegelen-Jayer, Grafe-Lecocq and another Salon/Delamotte experience. We are thrilled to keep the momentum going and spirits high with more Domaine-direct consignments in our May auction, headlined by the worldwide release of the 2019 vintage from Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair accompanied by the first-ever NFTs from Burgundy, in addition to Acker’s inaugural Viva Italia! offering, headlined by direct consignments and experiences from five of Italy’s most iconic producers: Antinori, Ornellaia, Quintarelli, Ceretto and Giacosa! The market is certainly celebrating week after week, and we are ecstatic to be offering more of the world’s greatest wines and collections than anyone else in the market, by far.”
