This illustrative DRC Romanée-Conti scenario begins by separating Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, the producer, from Romanée-Conti AOC, the appellation and wine name, before checking the vintage, bottle size, labels and storage history.
Record the producer, appellation and wine name in full
Transcribe Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Romanée-Conti, the vintage, bottle size, ABV and bottling wording from the front label. The abbreviation DRC or a market nickname is not a substitute for the complete identity.
- Keep the front and back labels, neck and bottle base under the same item number.
- Give every other DRC vineyard name its own wine record.
- Match the name, vintage and bottle count on a wooden case item by item.
AOC information supports the appellation level only
A statutory or appellation page can support the appellation identity of Romanée-Conti. The producer/estate bottling details and authenticity of an individual bottle, vintage and accessories still require evidence from the item, brand or provenance documents.
- State the evidence level to which every source applies.
- Do not conflate names such as Romanée-Saint-Vivant with Romanée-Conti.
- Keep market terminology and formal French names in separate fields.
Build condition and provenance records bottle by bottle
Record the fill level, closure, leakage, labels, glass, sediment, wooden case and storage timeline separately. Reputation cannot replace storage evidence, and photographs alone cannot establish authenticity.
- After standing the bottle upright, photograph the fill level from a consistent angle.
- Do not recork, rewax or clean an old label.
- Attach receipts and handover records to the timeline by date.
