Collection: 100-Point Wonders

It is always fascinating to taste wines awarded a perfect 100-point score. What elevates these bottles above their peers? While numbers alone never tell the whole story, the world's most respected critics reserve their highest accolades for wines that capture something truly extraordinary. Sotheby’s Wine is delighted to share our latest array of 100-point selections, inviting you to judge their greatness for yourself.

For accessible entry into this remarkable lineup, few wines rival St. Emilion’s 2020 Château Canon. The spectacular limestone terroir is on full display in this wine of searing mineral intensity and clarity of fruit. Down the road in Pomerol, Vieux Château Certan struck gold in both 2020 and 2019 – two exceptional vintages offering layers of velvety fruit with a breadth of aromatics nearly impossible to resist.

Among Bordeaux’s brightest, 1989 Château Haut-Brion remains one of the estate's defining achievements – a true bucket-list wine for many, now at the absolute pinnacle of its maturity. For those collecting younger icons, 2019 Château Lafite Rothschild and Château Lafleur represent two vastly different expressions of Pauillac and Pomerol perfection. At the summit for many, though, it’s Petrus that towers tall, the 2018 vintage a modern legend in its own right.

Beyond Bordeaux, the selection ventures into the truly fine and rare. Jacques Selosse Millésime 2013 stands amongst Champagne's most compelling, released in minuscule quantities and fiercely sought after for its singular, vinous style. By way of Burgundy, few bottles are more coveted than the 1990 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche in magnum, undoubtedly one of the world’s greatest vinous treasures, while Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Musigny reads as a love letter to the Côte de Nuits in 2015, the warmth of the vintage only amplifying Musigny’s soaring perfume and silken finesse.

As Robert Parker himself once acknowledged, the difference between 99 and 100 points is often "the emotion of the moment”. Whether you're adding a cornerstone bottle to your cellar or finally opening a wine you've long admired from afar, we invite you to discover the latest from our 100-point selections and capture the perfect moment of your own.
