Found a few bottles of Chateau Latour when moving – been stored for a long time, not sure if they can still be sold?

Many customers are in a similar situation; please contact us for an appraisal. As long as the bottle is intact and there are no obvious leaks or damage, it can usually be resold. Older vintages might even be more valuable. Take a few photos and send them to WhatsApp: 96737259, and we'll tell you how much they're worth within 30 minutes.

How is Chateau Latour performing in the resale market?

Chateau Latour is known for its powerful tannins and extremely long aging potential, representing the most robust style among 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. Emperor Cellars consistently offers high prices for both the Grand Vin and second wine of Latour. Welcome to inquire about the latest prices via WhatsApp: 96737259.

Is there a big price difference between selling a whole case and individual bottles?

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