Key points of this article (case sharing): This issue of "Chunxiang Wine Merchants" buyback case takes you into a set of extremely rare original wooden boxes Salon Champagne (SalonBlancdeBlancsLeMesnilBrut2012) changes hands documentary.

In Hong Kong, a fast-paced commercial city, every bottle of top-quality wine has its own circulation story. As a platform focusing on the buyback of high-end baijiu, imported spirits and Champagne, "Chunxiang Wine Merchants" comes into contact with a variety of wine collections and clients every day. Last week, we were fortunate to take over a group of top-quality Champagne that is very popular in the market - three bottles of Salon Champagne (Salon Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil Brut) 2012 in original wooden cases (OWC).

This was not only a smooth transaction, but also a beautiful intersection of professionalism and trust.

Origin: A "beautiful accident" at a top-notch dinner party

The client, Mr. Lin, is the person in charge of a local high-end event planning and private kitchen customization company in Hong Kong. Last month, he planned a private thank-you dinner for a multinational company president. In order to match the luxurious style of the dinner, Mr. Lin specially purchased several boxes of top-quality Salon Champagne (Salon) 2012 vintage through channels as the opening wine.

However, on the day of the dinner, several core VIPs were temporarily unable to attend due to flight issues, resulting in lower than expected alcohol consumption. In the end, this box (3 bottles) of Salon 2012, which had never been opened, was left intact.

When Mr. Lin contacted us, he said: "Our company's core business is event planning and execution. Although the company has a constant-temperature wine cabinet, the space is limited and is mainly used to store the daily circulation of banquet wine. Instead of occupying our wine storage space for a long time, this level of top-notch Champagne can be quickly realized and the funds can be returned to the company's daily operating cash flow to prepare for the next large-scale event."

This reason is very pragmatic and demonstrates the efficiency and decisiveness of Hong Kong businessmen.

Appraisal site: Witness the good condition of "Champagne World Myth"

After receiving Mr. Lin's entrustment, the professional appraisal specialist of "Chunxiang Wine Merchants" went to Mr. Lin's office in Wong Chuk Hang that afternoon.

When Mr. Lin took out the box of Salon 2012 from the climate-controlled wine cabinet, our specialist’s eyes suddenly lit up. For famous wine buyback,Original Wooden Case (OWC - Original Wooden Case) It's a huge plus. We carefully slid open the wooden lid, and three bottles of Champagne lay quietly inside like works of art.

Top Champagne Collection Valuation

Salon Champagne (Salon) is known as a myth in the Champagne world. It has almost harsh brewing standards: it only produces Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay), only uses grapes from the Grand Cru Village Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Production is only announced in very good years. For more than a century since its founding in 1905, Salon has been released in only a handful of years.

Champagne year comparison

We conducted strict quality inspection on these three bottles of wine:

  1. capsule and wine stopper: The top seal is intact and shows no signs of oxidation or leakage.
  2. wine label status: The classic green "S" wine label is well preserved, with no signs of moisture or scratches.
  3. fill level and color: The fill level is excellent, and the wine is clear when viewed through the dark glass bottle.
