Sell DRC Wine
Seller Information and Reason for Sale
- Seller: Mr. Lam (Executive at a company in Central, Hong Kong)
- Reason for Sale: These two rare wines were a thank-you gift from an important business partner a few years ago. As Mr. Lam himself has a slight alcohol allergy and rarely drinks, these two fine wines have been carefully stored in a professional temperature-controlled wine cabinet since he received them. Recently, while organizing his collection, Mr. Lam felt it was a waste to keep such premium wines idle in the dark. He decided it would be better to sell them to a professional high-end wine buyback agency, allowing them to go to a connoisseur who truly appreciates them.
buyback Story: A Junction of Professionalism and Trust
Last Tuesday afternoon, we received a message on WhatsApp from Mr. Lam. He stated that he had two bottles of DRC (Domaine de la Romanée-Conti) red wine that he wished for us to appraise and purchase. As a professional high-end wine buyback platform in Hong Kong, we are well aware of DRC's regal status in the wine world, and we immediately arranged for a senior appraiser to liaise with Mr. Lam.
Mr. Lam then sent several clear photos of the physical bottles. From the combined photos, we immediately identified the extraordinary identity of these two wines: one was a Romanée-Conti with the iconic "MONOPOLE 2018" label, and the other was a 2019 Grands Échézeaux. Both bottles had their original protective film intact and were in excellent external condition.
To further confirm the details, we carefully examined the individual close-up photos provided by Mr. Lam. In the close-up of the 2018 Romanée-Conti, we clearly verified the winery's signature on the label, the exclusive bottling number "01334", and its perfectly preserved condition. In another close-up, the 2019 Grands Échézeaux also showed impeccable preservation, with bottling number "04207", normal fill level, and pure wine color.
Based on the initial appraisal from the photos, we provided Mr. Lam with a highly competitive preliminary offer. Mr. Lam was very satisfied with the offer and surprised by our swift response. The next day, our specialist went to Mr. Lam's office in Central for the on-site transaction. After a second verification on-site, confirming that the anti-counterfeit labels and cork conditions were flawless, we immediately settled the full payment via bank transfer.
After the transaction, Mr. Lam smiled and said, "The process with Emperor's Castle was simple and transparent, and the price was fair. These two bottles have found a good home."
