had collated an auction sale superfecta: pristine provenance, old and rare vintages, large formats, a never-before- seen one-of-a-kind barrel, and a charitable aspect. (Rose-Marie Ponsot chose to donate the proceeds from said barrel to the charity À Chacun Son Everest.) Looking forward into 2023, Vos hints that the global house has one or two equally exciting tricks up its sleeve. “We’ve been lucky to start working on a private cellar with exceptional depth, containing all the Bordeaux 1855 crus classés going back decades,” he reveals. He is confident

that sales ticking all the boxes “that make a wine lover’s heart race” will still see strong participation in 2023. And despite the average 10 percent decline in numbers between a bumper 2021 and last year, the spirits of many auctioneers remain positive going into 2023. Expert for Besch auction house Pascal Kuzniewski tells me he was “very pleased with results in 2022,” though he expects “a limited decline in 2023, with a more selective market and more room for volatility.” Jay Hutchinson, marketing director at Hart Davis Hart, shares Kuzniewski’s cautious optimism. He
notes, “We did see some [downward] movement in 2022, but if there is anything to be taken away from the sales of last year, it is that the fine-wine market is staying historically strong. We started out 2023 with a solid performance from our January auction and expect that momentum to continue throughout the year.” Indeed, if anyone can maintain high bid energy and strong hammer prices in 2023, it is likely to be Hart Davis Hart, whose 100 percent sold record remained more or less intact in 2022 while the sell-through rate of many other houses plummeted.
