Question 1

Is this Château d'Yquem 2006 authentic and how is its provenance documented?

Accepted Answer

This Château d'Yquem Premier Cru Supérieur, Sauternes 2006 0.75L is held in professional bonded storage with documented custody. Its provenance is unbroken from release: the bottle has remained in professional custody, and condition is recorded. The Empty Drops is a private cellar, not a reseller, and never invents data about a bottle.

Question 2

How is the bottle stored and shipped?

Accepted Answer

The bottle is kept in temperature-controlled bonded storage and is not moved unless shipping is requested. Ownership is transferred through CruTrade while the bottle remains in custody until delivery is requested.

Question 3

What does the fill level and condition tell you about this bottle?

Accepted Answer

Condition is read from the fill level (ullage), capsule and label rather than taken on faith. A bottle that has not left professional custody since release avoids the usual weak points — heat, movement and broken records.
