Rue Pinard follows rigorous inspection guidelines.
Rue Pinard follows rigorous inspection guidelines on all wines & spirits we display in this webshop ensuring the bottles you purchase are of the highest quality. We mention the provenance on the product page and in the accompanying documentation. We even provide a certificate on request.
What we look for when buying a bottle?
We find out as much as we can about the history of bottles we are interested in buying. We find out about the storage conditions and find out as much as possible about when and where it was obtained by the seller. A bottles provenance — its source, life cycle, and storage — is of the utmost importance when buying a bottle online. In general, one can say that a bottle should look its age.
The source of the bottle
Where was the bottle that is on offer obtained? Was it at one of the major auction houses or in a store? Is there documentation available to support this? Is it just an odd bottle the seller is offering or is it from a cellar of a genuine collector who really cares about spirits and wine and stored them in impeccable conditions? How many bottles does a store offer? Are they specialists in vintage bottles?
Correct storage
There are key indicators that should alert you to problems with older bottles. The most common visible factor indication poor storage is seepage, low levels and raised or sunken corks, indicating exposure to fluctuations in temperature.
Fill level
With a 1789 Cognac, for example, stored for over two centuries in an excellent cool cellar, one would expect the liquid to be minimum around the shoulder of the bottle by now, and such a level would indicate a satisfactory standard of storage. A high fill level is a sign of quality storage.
Label condition
With bottles that are of a significant age, a certain degree of soiling or damage to labels is to be expected. Damp stains on a label indicate that the bottle comes from a damp cellar, which can destroy a label with mold, but the higher humidity makes bottles less prone to leakage. Bottle labels yellow or wrinkle naturally over time whilst being stored at optimum temperature and humidity.
Cork quality
Spirits are stored in an upright position. This causes the cork, over time to take on a mushroom shape. This in itself is not a problem if also the fill level of the bottle is high enough.
Sunken or raised cork
A sunken cork by more than 2mm is likely a sign that the cork may be defective or "easing" and increases the chance that the liquid inside is exposed to oxygen. A raised cork is an indication of faulty storage as the temperature raised to a level that the evaporation of the liquid started to push the cork out.
Capsule
Older bottles have a lead capsule or wax layer to seal the cork. If the seal is damaged this can be an indication of mistreatment or that the bottle was opened. However, some chipping of wax is to be expected. Non-original waxing should come with a reasonable explanation and/or documentation by the seller. Some corrosion on the capsule is normal. Corrosion on top of the capsule, advanced to the point where there is a hole in the capsule, increases the chance that the cork is bad. Sometimes the capsule is missing or cut to inspect the authenticity of the cork, this is known to happen and acceptable. Sometimes the entire cork is exposed. This is relatively common and does not indicate anything in particular about the liquid condition.
