On June 17, 2009 Sotheby's (London) sold various lots of this wine as single bottles.
Lots 100 & 101 | £9,430 ($15,532) | 75cl
Lots 102 & 103 | £9,200 ($15,153) | 75cl
Lot 104 | £18,400 ($30,307) | 1.5l
Interestingly, Christie's New York sold a lot of 3 magnums a few months later for $60,000 which seems like good value albeit it may not have had the provenance. 2 magnums (not Chateau bottled) sold two months later in Hong Kong for almost $25,000, and in December, 2009 two magnums sold at Christie's in New York for $31,200.
