Frequently Asked Questions

What factors affect the buyback price of 1987 Chateau Latour wine?

Key factors include: international wine critics' ratings for that vintage (e.g., Robert Parker, Wine Spectator), fill level, condition of the label and capsule, whether it comes with its original wooden case, and current market supply and demand. The overall performance of the 1987 vintage in Bordeaux also influences the pricing. Feel free to send photos via WhatsApp: 96737259 for a free assessment.

My friend gave me a bottle of Chateau Latour, and I'm unsure about its storage conditions. Can it still be bought back?

Yes, it can. Even if you're unaware of past storage conditions, we will conduct a professional assessment based on the actual condition of the bottle—including fill level, label, capsule, and sediment at the bottom. High-quality Bordeaux wines generally have strong resilience, so short-term storage in a typical home environment is usually not an issue. Simply send photos via WhatsApp: 96737259 to get a quote.

What is the market value of Chateau Latour in the buyback market?

Latour is known for its powerful tannins and exceptional aging potential, making it the most robust representative among the Bordeaux First Growths. Since withdrawing from the En Primeur market in 2012, its circulation has further decreased, leading to a steady increase in secondary market prices. Dipo Cellar consistently buys back Chateau Latour's grand vin and second wine at high prices. Feel free to contact us via WhatsApp: 96737259 for the latest market prices.

Is there a significant price difference between buying back a full case and individual bottles?

There is some difference. Original Wooden Cases (OWC) usually fetch 5-15% higher buyback prices than individual bottles due to their complete packaging and traceable origin. However, individual bottles are also welcome for buyback as long as they are well-preserved. Whether it's a full case or individual bottles, send photos via WhatsApp: 96737259 to get an instant quote.
