The Drinks Business recapped the auction of 12 of the bottles:
The two six bottle lots of the salvaged Bordeaux both doubled their high estimates and sold for £5,405 apiece.
The bottles were salvaged from the wreck of the Marie-Thérèse off the coast of the Philippines in 1991 and are believed to be from either the 1865 or 1869 vintage. Once brought to the surface they were re-corked and labelled at the château.
