Sell Domaine Leroy Dauvenay Wine

Seller Information and Reason for Sale

• Seller: Mr. Chan (52, a seasoned collector of watches and fine wines in Hong Kong)
• Reason for sale: Mr. Chan recently successfully bid for full vertical vintage sets of Domaine Leroy and d'Auvenay at an international auction. As space planning in his professional temperature-controlled cellar is extremely strict, to properly house his newly acquired full cases of treasures, he decided to release individual bottles of the same wines that he had previously Buy separately and are now "redundant" in his cellar. This allows these top-tier wines to be enjoyed by other enthusiasts.

Story Recap: When the "Queen of Burgundy" Meets Professional Appraisal

Last Wednesday afternoon, we received a WhatsApp message from Mr. Chan. As a collector with extremely high standards for quality of life, Mr. Chan's message was concise and professional, accompanied by a photo of his wine collection.

The protagonists in the photo were three exceptional wines, widely renowned in the Burgundy wine world. On the left was a bottle of Domaine Leroy Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru 'Aux Brulées' 2014 with its distinctive red wax seal; in the center and on the right were the extremely rare Domaine d'Auvenay Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru, revered by countless wine lovers. Both wineries are helmed by the legendary Lalou Bize-Leroy (known as "Madame Leroy"), representing the pinnacle of Biodynamic viticulture and the ultimate expression of Burgundy terroir.

When we met Mr. Chan at his private temperature-controlled cellar on Hong Kong Island, we deeply felt his care for his wine collection. The cellar's temperature is maintained at 12°C-14°C year-round, with humidity around 70%.

"These bottles are in excellent condition, but I recently acquired a whole batch of original cases of Leroy, and I simply don't have extra display space for these individual bottles," Mr. Chan said with a smile, his tone tinged with reluctance but also full of anticipation for his new acquisitions.

We immediately began our rigorous appraisal process. For wines of the caliber of Leroy and d'Auvenay, every detail is crucial to their market value:

1. Capsule and Wax Seal: Carefully inspected Leroy's iconic red wax seal. The wax seal was intact, with no cracks, and natural in color, confirming it had not been re-treated.
2. Ullage: All three bottles had excellent ullage (Into Neck), which is the best proof of superior storage conditions for vintage wines.
3. Label Condition: The d'Auvenay labels showed slight signs of age, but the text was clear, and anti-counterfeiting features were intact. The cling film wrapping further prevented damage from moisture.

After professional evaluation, the provenance of these three bottles was clear, and their storage condition was perfect. We immediately provided Mr. Chan with a highly competitive buyback offer. Due to the transparent pricing and professional process, Mr. Chan readily agreed to the transaction. The entire process took less than an hour, efficient and secure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do you price top-tier wines like Leroy?

A1: Our pricing is based on daily updated international wine trading market data (such as Liv-ex), recent auction records, and a comprehensive assessment of the wine's actual storage condition (ullage, label integrity, wax seal condition) to ensure we provide you with the fairest and most competitive price.

Q2: If my label has some minor damage, can it still be recovered?

A2: Yes, it can. While label integrity affects the final appraised value, as long as the wine itself is in good condition and can be confirmed as genuine, we will still provide a reasonable buyback solution. We will transparently explain any deductions based on the extent of the damage.

A3: Absolutely secure. We offer on-site appraisal services. Once the price is confirmed, funds can be settled instantly via cash, bank transfer, or FPS, ensuring that the seller receives payment before handing over the wine, guaranteeing a complete and secure transaction.
