Auction introduction: Christie’s Wine returns to New York in June 2025 with one of the greatest single-owner wine collections to come to market — The Cellar of William I. Koch: The Great American Collector. Industrialist, America's Cup winner and Renaissance man William I. Koch has spent a lifetime dedicated to his many passions including the collecting of fine wines. Hailing from his famed cellars in Palm Beach, Cape Cod and Aspen, Mr. Koch's world-class collection features classic vintages of Burgundy and Bordeaux, among them 1990 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and 1989 Chateau Haut-Brion, as well as a depth of verticals ranging from the 1920s to the early aughts. The legacy of Mr. Koch's cellars continues during three historic auctions in New York on 12–14 June.
