Overview
Château Lafite Rothschild: identity, condition and appraisal details
On Château Lafite Rothschild, establish the wooden case before moving to the vintage marking. The producer or estate name shown as Château Lafite Rothschild should stay visible as the fill level, the provenance material and the back label are documented in their actual positions.
Reading the wine details
- Producer / estate: Château Lafite Rothschild
- Product: Château Lafite Rothschild
- Category: wine
- Key details: the producer, appellation, vintage, bottle size and bottle-base markings
Use close and wider views of the bottle to compare the producer, appellation, vintage, bottle size and bottle-base markings; a familiar name should not override a different mark visible on the item.
Photo sequence for this wine
Photograph the front and back labels, fill level, closure, bottle base, vintage marking, original wooden case and accessories, using the full item first and the detailed views second so key details can be read in context on the bottle.
Describe the fill level, closure, labels, signs of seepage and condition of the original wooden case separately for the bottle; include wear, damage, repairs and missing parts exactly as they appear, without cleaning or concealment.
Keeping condition and packaging unchanged
Between photography and 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; retain the same arrangement for the next review.
For the bottle, keep each bottle, wooden case, divider, tissue, receipt and provenance document together; match every bottle to its case position before handover; note explicitly which packaging or document is absent.
