DRC Montrachet Grand Cru 1998: identification and appraisal guide
Clear photos of DRC Montrachet Grand Cru 1998 should show the whole wine bottle, its identifying marks and any matching packaging. Do not separate the wine bottle from its accessories until the maker or producer name DRC Domaine de la Romanée-Conti has been documented.
Identification details
- Producer: DRC Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
- Product name: DRC Montrachet Grand Cru 1998
- Category: wine
- Date or decade shown: 1998

- Marks and details to photograph: the producer, appellation, vintage, bottle size and bottle-base markings
The name DRC Montrachet Grand Cru 1998 is supported by the maker or producer name DRC Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and the date wording 1998 on the photographed item. Do not infer missing wording from an accessory alone.
Photographs and condition
Use sharp, unfiltered images of front and back labels, capsule, closure, fill level, bottle base, case and accessories. Photograph the whole item before isolating labels or marks.
Before moving the packaging, show fill level, capsule, closure, labels, glass and original case. Describe damage and missing accessories separately from normal wear.
Storage, accessories and handover
Until Hong Kang advises the next step, maintain the bottle's present stable position before handover. Shield it from light, heat and temperature changes, minimise movement, and leave the capsule, cork, closure and label unchanged.
When taking photographs, keep each bottle with its own case, tissue, booklet, invoice and provenance documents.

When the wine bottle photos are ready, send the overview and close-ups on WhatsApp, or call +852 9453 0784. Add clear packaging photos and the location for handover.
If the label, fill level, capsule or closure and any original case are readable, the first review can focus on any remaining questions. Bring the original case, purchase papers and other matching accessories together for collection.
