Before offering a Romanée-Conti bottle, prepare a numbered checklist covering identity, condition and provenance. Use the same number for the bottle, packaging, accessories and visible defects so every element can be verified item by item.
Information to prepare before offering Romanée-Conti
- Number every item and record the quantity so each photograph matches one checklist entry.
- Estate and wine.
- Vintage and volume.
- Front and back labels and bottle-base markings.
- Fill level.
- Closure and signs of leakage.
- Labels, wooden case and storage records.
Four stages
- 1. Make a preliminary classification by category and variant.
- 2. Add photographs of missing markings, accessories and defects.
- 3. Use verifiable sources to eliminate mismatched information.
- 4. Arrange a physical inspection and confirm the handover list when required.
An initial opinion based on photographs is not a final appraisal or fixed quotation. Update the same checklist whenever the quantity, variant or condition changes.
Verify everything again before handover
Before handover, recheck the item numbers, quantities, accessories, packaging and every agreed detail. Larger or higher-value consignments may require separate handling and privacy arrangements. Keep the closure intact; do not replace the cork, clean the label or attach a new label. Photograph the front and back labels, neck, fill level, bottle base and wooden case separately.
Frequently asked questions before offering Romanée-Conti
Can wording on the packaging replace the bottle's own markings?
No. Packaging may be missing, mismatched or paired later. Verify the estate and wine, vintage, volume, front and back labels and bottle-base markings from the bottle itself.
Does preliminary classification from photographs equal a final appraisal?
No. Photographs can supplement the record and reveal discrepancies, but the exact version, condition and handover arrangements must still be confirmed against the bottle and a complete inventory.
Does a normal fill level establish provenance and storage history?
No. A normal fill level is only one condition indicator. Match the estate and wine, vintage, volume, provenance and condition to the bottle. Version, condition and market records may change; this page uses only evidence verifiable on the enquiry date.

Record the variant and condition
Use a numbered record for each bottle, covering key markings, accessories and visible anomalies. Photographs support preliminary classification only; do not infer matters requiring testing or physical inspection from images. You can send the details via WhatsApp, or call +852 9453 0784. Any final conclusion remains subject to verifiable records and inspection of the item.
