Welcome to the board, Noelh. We don't buy and sell wines here, just share our drinking experiences with each other, and swap lies about our cellars, etc.

Your wines are "third growth Bordeaux" and are currently retailing for $35-$65 per bottle, IF they have been stored properly since release. You can use wine-searcher.com to see for yourself the prices being asked by various retailers.

De Sales is the largest produced in Pomerol that normally sells its current release in the mid 20s. I always keep some on hand, but drank my '82 about ten years ago. It, like those from St Emillion are blends of primarily merlot and cabernet franc, and don't last as long as those from the other side of the river in Bordeaux that are made primarily of cabernet sauvignon. The Lagrange is one of those, and has a better chance of survival. Try them all though.
