1996 Château Lafite Rothschild valuation considerations
The 1996 vintage is recognised as one of the Left Bank's strongest. Château Lafite Rothschild combines high quality with substantial ageing potential and remains sought after by collectors and at auction.
Regardless of the vintage's reputation, the physical condition of the bottle is central to the assessment. The offer takes account of a sound fill level, intact label and capsule, any original case and proof of provenance.
When selling a full case or several bottles, provide a complete list and photographs together. Different vintages and conditions can be valued separately. Once terms are agreed, handover can take place at our shop or by collection across Hong Kong and Macau. WhatsApp / WeChat: 96737259.
