Sell 2005 Château Haut-Brion wine

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.

2005 Château Haut-Brion: bottle condition; storage conditions; bottle format; provenance

• 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.
• Bottle format: Magnums and larger formats, together with complete cases, may attract additional market interest.
• Provenance: Purchase invoices, the original wooden case, and cellar or merchant records strengthen the provenance file.

2005 Château Haut-Brion valuation considerations

The source describes 2005 as a strong Bordeaux Left Bank vintage with notable body, structure and ageing potential. Château Haut-Brion with clear provenance is better positioned in the market.

Regardless of the vintage, the physical condition of the bottle remains central to the valuation: the fill level, label and capsule integrity, original case and provenance evidence 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.
