Spring 2022
Wine Auction by Sotheby's
The Personal Cellars of H.R.H. Prince Robert de Luxembourg Family and Friends
Raised
$6.2 Million USD
On 21 May 2022 at Sotheby’s in New York, wine collectors will have the unprecedented opportunity to bid on a very rare selection of bottles from the personal cellars of Prince Robert of Luxembourg, his family and his friends. The proceeds will benefit The PolG Foundation, a United States Public Charity, close to the heart of Prince Robert, his wife Princess Julie and their family.
The wines in this sale have been donated by three distinct groups: Prince Robert; his family; and his friends. Each one includes extremely rare wines, the majority of which come directly from cellars where they have been kept for most or all their lives, which brings the finest provenance and, naturally, the best condition.
"On behalf of all of the patients and families affected by this disease, and as Chairman of the The PolG Foundation, I once again extend our most heartfelt gratitude to them! They have made this a truly historic sale."
- Prince Robert de Luxembourg
