EXPERTISE

Expertise of a bottle, a fortiori old, requires the use of codified terminology.

In addition to this, you need to know more about it. For each bottle, or lot, an identity card contains the following attributes: level of the wine, state of the label, state of the capsule.

SALLE DES VINS guarantees the reliability of its expertise and attaches photos of the bottles offered and specific alterations to its offers.
