Can anyone help?

[IrishMum]

Hello!

I am new to the board and I was wondering about a bottle of wine that I recently aquired. I am pretty sure that it has no value, etc...but I am wondering if it is even drinkable?! I looked it up on a few websites, and I am unable to find any information on it.

It is:
Chanson 1969
Vin De Bourgogne
Pinot Noir St Vincent

Will I die if I open it? <hehe> If anything, It would be fun for me to save and to have...as it is the year that I was born! :-)

Thanks for any information that you may have!

P.S. I AM THIRSTY!

Hi Irishmum, and welcome to the Wine Board. You have a journeyman but normally well crafted negotiant Burgundy. Suspect that it may be well over the hill, but you never know until you try. If you are really thirsty, buy a bottle of somethings else you like to have in reserve, and go ahead and pop it. The empty bottle will make just as nice a souvenir as the full one.

IK tells it like it be Irishmum. Welcome to the board. WW

Thanks boys! Any suggestions for a very nice bottle for my reserve??? Hmmm...I like anything red, French and/or Italian!

As far as my 1969 Pinot Noir...I think that I will just GO FOR IT!

Thank you for the nice welcome!

Mumser, If you go to the Rhone thread you'll find lots of great 98 cotes du rhones in the 10 buck range that be delicious. WW

One that is similar to the subject wine and is an everyday favorite of several of us is
Joseph Drouhin, LaForet, Bourgogne Pinot Noir.

I agree with the LaForet Pinot Noir from Drouhin. Its good stuff for the price.

Great lighter burgundy.
