This source case follows four 2000 Château Margaux bottles in Happy Valley. The linked Château Margaux collection page provides estate context; the case itself records the collector's reason, visible inspection and handover.
Collector Profile and Reason for Sale
- Collector: Mr. Chan, a pseudonymous import-export trader in his fifties
- Reason for sale: His collecting interest shifted towards aged Pu'er tea, and he wanted to free space in the wine cabinet
The source says Mr. Chan contacted Dibao Wine by WhatsApp and sent photographs of four well-presented 2000 Château Margaux bottles. He had previously enjoyed wine with business partners and built a cellar, but during the preceding two or three years his interest moved towards aged Pu'er tea.
The source quotes Mr. Chan as saying that both tea and wine required space and that he preferred the bottles to pass to someone who would appreciate them. This personal explanation is specific to the case.
On-Site Review and Handover
After arranging a time, the source says an appraisal team visited Mr. Chan's Happy Valley home and viewed the four 2000 Château Margaux bottles in a temperature-controlled cabinet.
The source describes the bottles as being in excellent visible condition but does not itemise the fill, label, capsule or seepage findings in the Body. Any assessment therefore remains subject to direct bottle verification.
The source says Dibao Wine discussed current market and auction references, made an offer and completed payment by cash or FPS after Mr. Chan accepted. It says the handover took under half an hour but discloses no amount or comparable transaction; the claim of an above-market price cannot be tested and is not a general benchmark.
