Domaine Leroy Richebourg 2013: Three Consecutive Bottle Numbers

A Health-Led Decision to Sell

On Wednesday afternoon, Dibao Wine received a WhatsApp message from Dr. Chan, an experienced surgeon on Hong Kong Island who had used Burgundy wine tasting as a way to unwind from demanding work.

Seller Profile and Reason for Sale

• Seller: Dr. Chan, a pseudonym, age 55; Hong Kong surgeon and experienced wine collector
• Reason for Sale: A recent annual examination identified mild cardiovascular and blood-pressure concerns. With professional awareness and concern for his family, Dr. Chan followed a colleague's advice to reduce alcohol substantially. He decided that the rare wines in his cabinet should be offered through a specialist channel rather than remain unseen.

After an initial discussion and photograph review, the parties arranged a physical inspection.

Physical Review of Three Richebourg Bottles

When the team arrived at Dr. Chan's Mid-Levels residence, he had carefully removed three bottles from his temperature-controlled cellar for review.

The source photographs show three Domaine Leroy Richebourg Grand Cru 2013 bottles with intact red wax, clean labels and high Fill Levels. These external observations support a condition assessment but do not prove storage history, authenticity or internal condition.

The back labels recorded handwritten bottle numbers 01037, 01038 and 01039. The three bottles carried consecutive numbers. The source reports a total production of 1809 bottles for Leroy Richebourg and describes a three-number run as rare. The figures should be checked against producer or release records, and consecutive numbers do not prove chain of custody or establish a premium.

The review compared expected label printing, bottle-base marks and the natural ageing of the wax. Those checks are relevant but cannot establish authenticity beyond doubt on their own; provenance and expert physical assessment remain necessary.

Bottle Information

The source records the following facts about the three bottles:

Dr. Chan said he was satisfied with the explanation and quotation. The source records a 10 min transaction and prompt receipt of funds; those are historical details of this case, not a service timetable. He said he hoped the bottles would find an appreciative buyer.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The following questions help owners prepare comparable bottles for review:

Q1: How is a Domaine Leroy quotation assessed?

A: A review can use dated auction and secondary-market references together with vintage, rarity, bottle numbers, Fill Level, label, cork or wax, and Provenance. A database or more than ten years of experience does not establish authenticity or a market-leading price.

Q2: Can a bottle be reviewed without its original wooden case (OWC)?

A: Yes. OWC may support presentation and provenance, but a single bottle can also be assessed. Authenticity, source and physical condition remain bottle-specific, and a high quotation is not automatic.

Q3: What are the review and handover steps?

A: Send clear front- and back-label photographs by WhatsApp for an initial review. If both parties wish to proceed, arrange a physical inspection, agree the quotation, confirm cash or bank-transfer terms and complete the handover. Privacy, timing and payment clearance should be confirmed for that transaction.

Match Each Bottle to Its Evidence

A fine-wine bottle deserves careful handling whether the owner is freeing cellar space or reducing alcohol for health. Dibao Wine describes a discreet review process, but professional standards require bottle-specific evidence and transparent terms rather than universal price or privacy claims.
