Wine lovers and gourmands will get a chance to grab a piece of El Bulli history next April, when Sotheby\u2019s auctions off 8,807 bottles curated by the restaurant\u2019s director Juli Soler and the sommelier team over the last 27 years of Adri\u00e0\u2019s tenure.<\/p>\n
The auction is expected to haul in an estimate of up to $1.6 million USD, all of which will go towards the El Bulli Foundation, a culinary think tank, and Bullipedia, a digital project Adri\u00e0 has described as the culinary equivalent of Wikipedia.<\/p>\n
Adri\u00e0 closed El Bulli last summer at the height of its popularity to turn it into a culinary research and development center, the El Bulli Foundation.<\/p>\n
The eatery was named the world\u2019s best restaurant five times by Restaurant magazine, while Adri\u00e0 has widely been described as the world\u2019s best chef.<\/p>\n
The collection of wines to be sold by Sotheby\u2019s include bottles from the classic wine regions such as Burgundy, Bordeaux, Sherry, Rioja, Cava and Champagne, some of which were labeled exclusively for the three Michelin-starred restaurant.<\/p>\n
The highest value lot includes a trio of Domaine de la Roman\u00e9e Conti, Roman\u00e9e Conti 1990, which is estimated to bring in $32,500 to $47,500.<\/p>\n
A lot of six magnums labeled exclusively for El Bulli \u2014 Lucien Le Moine Hospices de Beaune Corton Vergennes Cuv\u00e9e Paul Chanson 2005 \u2014 is also expected to be highly sought after, fetching between $1,200 to $1,600.<\/p>\n
Pockets don\u2019t go that deep? More affordable lots include bottles priced as low as $50 for a 1999 Cuv\u00e9e Prestige de Caroline.<\/p>\n
Sotheby\u2019s will be holding two auctions for El Bulli wines, the first on April 3, 2013 in Hong Kong, the second a few weeks later on April 26 in New York.<\/p>\n
