Auction house 'Top Lot' held its 22nd 'Wine Auction' over two days on June 6 (Sat) and June 7 (Sun), 2026 in Toranomon, Tokyo.

Thanks to the continued support of our customers, Top Lot's wine auctions have grown with each edition. This time, over 3,800 bottles were offered, the second highest in history.

Among them, four valuable private collections attracted attention. Of the total 269 lots, 96% were sold, and the total hammer price significantly exceeded the low estimate by 44.5%.

DRC and Leroy Domaine d'Auvenay remained strong, driving the entire sale. In Bordeaux, Petrus and Château Lafite Rothschild were popular, while in California, Opus One and Screaming Eagle attracted bids.

Overall, the momentum from last year continued, resulting in a sell-through rate exceeding 96%.
