Sotheby’s to Offer The Personal Cellars of HRH Prince Robert of Luxembourg, Family and Friends for the Exclusive Benefit of The PolG Foundation

 

Auction in New York, May 2022

NEW YORK, 12 JANUARY 2022 – 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.

Founded by them, the mission of The PolG Foundation is to support and accelerate research in order to find effective treatments and a cure for PolG-related mitochondrial disorders. The story of the foundation starts with the journey of one family and more particularly, one young man, Frederik, the youngest son of Prince Robert and Princess Julie. Having faced fear, sadness and grief, the family, inspired by Frederik’s example of sheer determination, perseverance and his naturally cheerful disposition, have set out to find a cure for a devastating disease.

The sale will bring together wines from top-tier Châteaux, including Haut-Brion, La Mission Haut-Brion, d’Yquem, Cheval Blanc, Lafite, Latour, Margaux, Mouton Rothschild, Lynch Bages, Palmer, Ausone and Petrus – undisputed stars of Bordeaux’s greatest growths. With approximately 4,000 bottles already consigned, and more to come, the aim is to raise as much as possible to support this worthy cause.
