Frequently Asked Questions

What factors affect the buyback price of 1986 Chateau Latour?

Key factors include: international wine critics' scores for that vintage (e.g., Robert Parker, Wine Spectator), fill level, condition of the label and capsule, whether it comes with its original wooden case, and current market supply and demand. The overall performance of the 1986 vintage in Bordeaux also influences pricing. Feel free to send photos via WhatsApp: 96737259 for a free appraisal.

I found a few bottles of Chateau Latour when moving. They've been stored for a long time. Can I still sell them?

Many customers have similar situations. Feel free to contact us for an appraisal. As long as the bottle is intact and there are no obvious leaks or damage, it can usually be bought back. Older vintages might even be more valuable. Take a few photos and send them to WhatsApp: 96737259, and we'll tell you its value within 30 minutes.

Did Latour's withdrawal from the En Primeur market affect its buyback price?

The impact was significant. Since 2012, Latour withdrew from the Bordeaux En Primeur system, which drastically reduced the circulation of new vintages in the market. Consequently, the scarcity and value of existing stock increased. This is good news for collectors who already own Latour. WhatsApp: 96737259 to get an instant quote.
