Six bottles of 2009 Le Pin will be the highlight of a major single owner wine collection auction at Sotheby's Hong Kong.

Le Pin is based in the French commune of Pomerol near Bordeaux

The vineyard produces some of the world's most valuable wines and the present lot is no exception.

It's expected to make $19,350-25,800.

The rest of the sale is made up of a remarkable range of producers from around the world, from Chateau Latour to Sine Qua Non.  

Serena Sutcliffe, honorary chairman of Sotheby's wine, says: "It makes one gasp to see the breadth of choice and winemaking talent contained in this sale - you could call it 'perfect pitch'…

"You cannot amass a collection of this stature overnight - it takes time, patience and access to the best sources."
