Sell 2016 Château Haut-Brion wine

Château Haut-Brion is the only First Growth in the 1855 Classification from Graves, now Pessac-Léognan, and the source describes it as the oldest of the five First Growth estates. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot both play important roles in a restrained, elegant style associated with smoky, mineral and earthy notes.

2016 Château Haut-Brion: bottle format; provenance and packaging; bottle condition; storage conditions

• Bottle format: Magnums and other large formats are scarce and may attract additional market interest.
• Provenance and packaging: Invoices, the original wooden case (OWC) and cellar records strengthen the provenance file; a complete case is preferable where available.
• Bottle condition: For older vintages, the fill level, any sunken cork, and the integrity of the capsule and label are especially important.
• Storage conditions: Long-term temperature-controlled cellar storage with few moves supports a clearer assessment of the bottle's condition.

2016 Château Haut-Brion valuation considerations

The source describes 2016 as a great Left Bank Bordeaux vintage with strong performance and steady demand for Château Haut-Brion. Bottle condition and current demand should still determine whether to offer it.

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.
