The source describes established collector interest in the 1981 Château Ausone, a Right Bank Bordeaux wine. Its bottle-specific assessment gives particular weight to storage conditions; bottle condition; and provenance and packaging.
1981 Château Ausone valuation considerations
The source presents 1981 as a weaker or less consistent Right Bank Bordeaux vintage. Château Ausone should be assessed individually rather than from a broad market figure.
More specifically, the valuation depends on the physical condition and provenance rather than the vintage alone. Clear photographs of the front and back labels, capsule and fill level, together with the original case and purchase records, support a more accurate valuation.
1981 Château Ausone: storage conditions; bottle condition; provenance and packaging; bottle format and quantity
- Storage conditions: Long-term temperature-controlled cellar storage with few moves supports a clearer assessment of the bottle's condition.
- Bottle condition: Check the fill level, whether the cork has sunk, and whether the capsule or label is damaged or mouldy.
- Provenance and packaging: Invoices, the original wooden case (OWC) and cellar records strengthen the provenance file; a complete case is preferable where available.
- Bottle format and quantity: Large formats and complete cases often attract stronger market interest and may support a higher valuation.
For a complete case or multiple bottles, provide a full list and photographs. Different vintages and bottle conditions can be assessed separately. Once the details are agreed, handover can take place at our shop or by collection across Hong Kong and Macau. WhatsApp / WeChat: 96737259.
