A young, characterful white to follow over the coming years. A bottle for the collector who values the unusual and the early.

About this bottle

Is this Niepoort 2024 authentic and how is its provenance documented?

This Hubert de Montille Les Rugiens-Bas 1996 0.75L is held in professional bonded storage with documented custody. Its provenance is recorded from acquisition, the bottle remaining in professional custody, and condition is noted. The Empty Drops is a private cellar, not a reseller, and never invents data about a bottle.

How is the bottle stored and shipped?

The bottle is kept in temperature-controlled bonded storage and is not moved unless shipping is requested. It is held privately and not currently listed for release; it can be released through CruTrade on request.

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

Condition is read from the fill level (ullage), capsule and label rather than taken on faith. A bottle that has stayed in professional custody since acquisition avoids the usual weak points — heat, movement and broken records.
