- eaguja - 01-04-2003 1/04 Hello. We have a bottle of wine from france from 1949 and we are wondering how much is worth it? any ideas or suggestions how to sell it? LESCARMES HAUT-BRION 1949 GRANDVIN DE GRAVES APPELLATION GAVES CONTROLEE MADAMAE CHANTECAILLE BORDEAUS WINE PRODUCT OF FRANCE I MPORT BY BEEUT VANDEEVOORT & CO. Thank you. Edgar Aguja Please e-mail me directly thank you. edgar_aguja@yahoo.com - winoweenie - 01-05-2003 Hi eajuga and welcome to the board. This is a very small high-quality producer whose 11 acres of vineyards are next to Haut Brion and La mission Haut Brion in the Graves area. Consistantly turning out outstanding juice in miniscule quantities (2000 cases ) I have only had the opportunity to try 2 bottlings, both of which were outstanding . That's the good news....Now the bad news. If you'll go back on this thread you'll find that the advice is always consistant...Single bottles are extremely hard to sell. And making it even tougher is the fact you have to have the provenence (storage ) articulated. A bottle this old would have even more scrutiny.If you can meet these parameters then you could possibly interest one of the national auction houses in listing it.Good luck. WW - winoweenie - 01-07-2003 Agin', looks like I dint' give the answer that elicits a " Thank Youse ". ww - Bucko - 01-07-2003 If someone thanked you, your head would swell up larger than a cow's belly eating Johnson grass........
