Sell Leroy Dauvenay Burgundy Collection Wine

Every time we open someone else's wine cabinet, it's like reading a unique life story. Our "Dibao Wine" team has witnessed the circulation of countless rare and fine wines, and a recovery experience last week in Kowloon Tong not only gave us the privilege of holding legendary Burgundy wines but also made us feel a sense of proper placement for family memories.

Background of the Commission

Seller's Profile: Mr. Lam, 35 years old, a senior engineer at a technology company in Hong Kong. Reason for Sale: Inherited his father's estate, but has a severe allergy to alcohol and no intention of continuing to operate and maintain a professional wine cellar.

Mr. Lam's father was an experienced Burgundy wine collector who passed away last year due to illness. The elder Mr. Lam loved tending to his "high-end collection" in his temperature-controlled wine cellar, cherishing every bottle as if it were a family heirloom. However, Mr. Lam has had a severe alcohol allergy since childhood and has never touched a drop. Faced with the walls of fine wines left by his father, he felt somewhat overwhelmed—the electricity and maintenance costs of a large temperature and humidity-controlled wine cellar are high, and he knew he couldn't appreciate these artworks in the same way his father did.

"To let these top-tier red wines become unattendedin my hands would be a waste of them. I hope to hand them over to people who truly understand and love wine," Mr. Lam calmly told us over the phone.

After making an appointment, our appraisal team arrived at Mr. Lam's home. When we opened the specific temperature-controlled cabinet deep inside the wine cellar, we couldn't help but hold our breath. What greeted our eyes were the legends crafted by the "Iron Lady of Burgundy," Lalou Bize-Leroy—the "Red Head" Leroy and the even rarer Domaine d'Auvenay.

Wine Information Summary

Mr. Lam's father cherished his red wines dearly. As seen in the photos, the labels of each bottle were carefully wrapped in plastic film, a common protective measure used by many older collectors in Hong Kong to prevent label damage from high humidity in wine cellars.

Below is the information for the three top-tier Burgundy wines we focused on recovering:

【Breakdown: Why are these wines so valuable?】 For buyers seeking high-end Burgundy, the Leroy family name is synonymous with quality and astronomical prices.

• Domaine Leroy "Aux Brûlées": A superb Premier Cru from Vosne-Romanée, Madame Leroy is renowned for her extreme biodynamic practices and extremely low yields. The 2014 vintage showcases the unique spice and deep red berry notes of this vineyard.
• Domaine d'Auvenay: Revered by wine enthusiasts as the hidden king in "The Drops of God." This is Madame Leroy's personal private estate, with even rarer production than Leroy, making bottles almost impossible to find on the market. The Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru d'Auvenay, in particular, possesses immense aging potential and complexity, and is a frequent sight at auctions.

We carefully inspected the wax seal, ullage, clarity of the wine, and back label provenance of each bottle. After confirming their excellent condition, we immediately offered Mr. Lam a very reasonable Buy price. Mr. Lam was very satisfied with our professionalism and quotation, and the transaction was successfully completed on the same day.

Common Questions About Selling Wine

Q1: My Leroy red wine's wax seal is cracked. Can it still be recycled? A: Absolutely. Leroy's wax seals are known to crack easily due to their special material, thermal expansion and contraction, or slight contact. This is a recognized phenomenon in the industry. Our appraisers will comprehensively assess the condition of the cork, whether there is any seepage, and the fill level. As long as the wine quality itself is not compromised, natural cracking of the wax seal has a negligible impact on the buyback price.

Q2: Does wrapping wine bottles in plastic wrap, as shown in the photos, affect the wine? A: This is a double-edged sword. The advantage is that it can effectively prevent mold or damage to the labels caused by the long-term high humidity environment in Hong Kong wine cellars, thus maintaining their appearance; however, the disadvantage is that if moisture remains when wrapped, it can trap the humidity inside and damage the label. We recommend that if you intend to collect long-term and sell in the future, you can use professional anti-static label protectors instead of ordinary plastic wrap. Of course, regardless of whether they are wrapped or not, as long as the labels are clear, we will still offer a high buyback price.

Q3: What is Dibao Wine's buyback process? How is security guaranteed? A: We offer highly private "one-on-one on-site appraisal" services. You can first send photos of the wine (front label, back label, fill level, seal) to us via WhatsApp for a preliminary estimate. Once both parties agree, we will send a professional team member to your location for an on-site inspection. After confirmation, we support various on-the-spot settlement methods such as cash, FPS (Faster Payment System), and instant bank transfers, ensuring a safe, fast, and risk-free transaction.
