Product-specific identification points
- Producer / estate: Château Lafite Rothschild
- Product: Château Lafite Rothschild
- Category: wine
- Key details: the producer, appellation, vintage, bottle size and bottle-base markings
Compare the producer, appellation, vintage, bottle size and bottle-base markings directly on the bottle, retaining a full-item view beside the details that support the description.
Photographs that show key details
The most useful sequence for the bottle is a full view followed by the front and back labels, fill level, closure, bottle base, vintage marking, original wooden case and accessories, with colour and surrounding edges left visible.
Condition notes for the bottle should cover the fill level, closure, labels, signs of seepage and condition of the original wooden case; leave existing wear visible and show where packaging or a component is absent.
Safe storage before wine handover
Before handover, keep the bottle in its current stable position, away from heat and direct light, and avoid sudden temperature changes or unnecessary movement; do not disturb the capsule, cork or closure; do not clean the label or separate the bottle from its original case; photograph any existing issue before moving it.
Before moving the bottle, keep each bottle, wooden case, divider, tissue, receipt and provenance document together; match every bottle to its case position before handover; photograph any unmatched component beside the full item.
