We pay international market prices, benchmarked against auctions in London, Paris, Hong Kong and Geneva. We do not invent prices. And when we do not value something, we tell you so plainly and explain why.
From a small lot of well-chosen bottles to the sale of an entire cellar, the standard does not change: honest valuation, written offer, private agreement and payment by bank transfer. The logistics change; the way we work does not.
