Sell Mouton 2000 Golden Sheep Original Wine
Last week, our valuation team from Dibao Wine visited Mid-Levels. Our client, Mr. Chan, is an avid red wine enthusiast and the seller of the six bottles of 2000 Château Mouton Rothschild that we bought back at a high price this time.
Upon entering Mr. Chan's home, we immediately noticed his impressive temperature-controlled wine cellar. We later learned that Mr. Chan was planning a major renovation for his home, which included redesigning the wine cellar.
Seller Profile and Reason for Selling
- Seller: Mr. Chan (pseudonym), in his 50s, engaged in import-export trade.
Mr. Chan was very straightforward. He mentioned that he had searched online for red wine buyers and found Dibao Wine's reputation to be professional. To avoid the hassle of comparing prices, he directly sent us photos via WhatsApp for an initial quote.
Professional Appraisal: The Charm of the Millennium "Golden Ram"
When Mr. Chan brought out the original wooden case (OWC) of 2000 Mouton from his cellar that day, opening it was truly a sight to behold.
Wine enthusiasts know that 2000 Mouton is a highly collectible, legendary wine. To commemorate the millennium, the winery broke tradition by forgoing its annual artist-designed labels. Instead, they used a high-temperature gilding technique to directly apply the winery's emblem, the "Augsburg Ram," onto the black glass bottle. This "golden ram" not only looks magnificent but also boasts extremely high anti-counterfeiting properties.
Our appraiser conducted a detailed on-site inspection:
Because the condition was simply too perfect, and with the added bonus of the original wooden case, we immediately made a cash transaction with Mr. Chan at a price higher than that of typical second-hand stores. The entire process took less than half an hour, and Mr. Chan was very satisfied with our efficiency and professionalism.

Common Questions Before Selling Wine
Q1: Why is the 2000 Mouton particularly valuable? A: Aside from 2000 being a top-tier vintage for Bordeaux (a "century vintage") with excellent wine quality, its unique "golden ram" label-free design is the most important factor. This highly complex and costly craftsmanship was exclusive to the 2000 vintage, giving it immense historical and commemorative value, which is why it remains in high demand in the secondary market.
Q2: If my wine doesn't have its original wooden case (OWC), or the label is slightly damaged, will Dibao Wine still buy it? A: Absolutely! While wines with original wooden cases or in perfect condition will fetch the highest price, we will still provide a fair quote for single bottles or fine wines with minor label imperfections, as long as the wine itself (fill level, no leakage) is in good condition.
