The item offered is the empty case only — no bottles and no wine are included. It is offered as a collector, storage or display accessory.

From the Brand

Château Lafite Rothschild bottles and packs its grand vin at the estate in Pauillac, and each case of twelve standard 750mL bottles is shipped in an original wooden case (OWC) bearing the vintage year and the château's markings. After the bottles are consumed, the OWC is often retained by collectors as a display piece or to house a horizontal of the same vintage. Domaines Barons de Rothschild (DBR) has owned Lafite since 1868 and has used the same case format for the 750mL twelve-pack across recent decades. This particular case was supplied for the 1998 vintage, a year that produced structured, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon in Pauillac.
