2012 Chateau Latour Wine Recycling Service

The year 2012 holds historical significance for Chateau Latour. This is not only because the vintage displayed outstanding resilience despite climatic challenges, but also because Chateau Latour announced its decision to withdraw from the Bordeaux En Primeur market from this vintage onwards, opting instead to age its wines in the cellar until they reach their optimal drinking window before release. This made the 2012 vintage the beginning of a "new era for Latour" in collectors' eyes, possessing higher market scarcity and collection recognition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What factors affect the buy-back price of 2012 Chateau Latour?

Key factors include: international wine critic scores for that vintage (e.g., Robert Parker, Wine Spectator), wine level, condition of the label and capsule, whether it comes with its original wooden case (OWC), and current market supply and demand. The overall performance of the 2012 vintage in Bordeaux will also impact pricing. Feel free to WhatsApp photos to 96737259 for a free appraisal.

Is a Chateau Latour stored in a home wine cabinet, with average storage conditions, worth selling?

It's worth a try. As long as the temperature in a home wine cabinet is stable and below 18 degrees Celsius, it usually won't severely affect the wine quality. During our appraisal, we consider the wine level, label condition, and bottle appearance. Even if storage conditions aren't perfect, prestigious Bordeaux wines can still have significant resale value. WhatsApp 96737259 for a free photo appraisal.

Did Latour's withdrawal from the En Primeur market affect its buy-back price?

The impact is significant. Since 2012, Latour withdrew from the Bordeaux En Primeur system, leading to a substantial reduction in the circulation of new vintages on the market. Consequently, the scarcity and value of existing wines increased. This is good news for collectors who already own Latour. WhatsApp 96737259 for an instant quote.

Do you offer on-site collection services?

Yes. Empire Cellars provides free on-site collection services across Hong Kong, Kowloon, and the New Territories, at a time convenient for you.
