Château Haut-Brion is the only 1855 First Growth from Graves, now Pessac-Léognan, and the source describes it as the oldest of the five First Growths. Its Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend is associated with smoky, mineral and earthy notes and a restrained, elegant style.
1999 Château Haut-Brion: bottle format; bottle condition; storage conditions; provenance and packaging
- Bottle format: Magnums and other large formats are scarce and may attract additional market interest.
- Bottle condition: Check the fill level, whether the cork has sunk, and whether the capsule or label is damaged or mouldy.
- Storage conditions: Long-term temperature-controlled cellar storage with few moves supports a clearer assessment of the bottle's condition.
- Provenance and packaging: Invoices, the original wooden case (OWC) and cellar records strengthen the provenance file; a complete case is preferable where available.
1999 Château Haut-Brion valuation considerations
The source describes 1999 as a more challenging or lower-yield Bordeaux Left Bank vintage. A valuation of Château Haut-Brion therefore places greater weight on bottle condition, provenance and current demand.
A vintage's reputation provides context, but bottle condition, provenance and storage records remain central to the final valuation. The fill level, cork, label and capsule condition, and the availability of the original case and invoice all matter.
For an initial valuation, provide the vintage, quantity and photographs of the front and back labels, capsule and fill level. Dibao Wine will review condition, provenance and current demand before indicating a valuation. Once agreed, handover can take place at our shop or by collection across Hong Kong and Macau. Every final offer is subject to physical inspection. WhatsApp / WeChat: 96737259.
