Comte Georges de Vogue

[hypermod]

I have a bottle of this, marked "reserve particulaire", 1926. Have no idea of the value, if any. Can you help?

I don't know the value but wonder if you can further identify it. Is it a red wine? Is it marked as being from Burgundy? Does it say Grand Cru or 1er Cru on it anywhere?

Hi
It does not say the things you mentioned, but actually now I think it must be a brandy because of the light color. Any idea as to value, if any?
Thanks

Hi Hypermod and welcome to the board. Have never seen a Compte brandy in all my wine travels. The light color is probably indicative of a Burgandy wine thats turned into a component for salad dressing. Post the whole label verbatum and can probably give more definative answer. As for value, a 1926 ANYTHING without a detailed guaranteed cellaring regimum is only worth the " Look what I gots " value. WW

Hi,
Upper left corner, at an angle in sammll letters, is printed:
"Brandy
Straight Product
Bottled March 1926 "
in small letters.
Large Letters, Center:
"Marc Musigny"
"Comte Georges de Vogue"
"A Chmbolle-Musigny France"
Lower Left Corner:
"Mis en boteilles a la propiete.
1 PT 8 fluid oz. Produce of France "

Lower middle:
"Reserve PArticuliere"
Alchoholic Contents 49.5 % by volume"

Seperate label below main lable:
"Specially Reserved and Imported By
Bellows & Company INc.

That's it.
Thanks for the feedback.

I don't really care about worth, I just want to know if I open it at a dinner party will everyone get sick.

Almost all the Comte Georges de Vogue brandy is found in the UK. They're producers of red and white wines in Burgundy, and they turn some of their production into a few different brandies. The Reserve would sell for about $60 here. If it hasn't been subjected to any unreasonable heat since it was bottled, it's probably fine to drink. BTW, any spirits, like brandy, don't get any better after they've been bottled, but they can go bad if they haven't been stored well.
