Hi lovewine and welcome to the board. Not familiar with this property at all but can assure you it was NOT the wine of the year in the GREAT 82 vintage. This was one of the top 3-5 vintages of the 20th century. Will try to find out about the vineyard but my guess is it's a cru Bourgeous that was private labeled for direct sales. WW

Will add my welcome LW. The chateau produces popular table wines for European wine shops and restaurants. In the UK, current vintages seem to go for 4.70-5.00 pound Sterling, or as much as 20 euros in a restaurant on the continent. Without perfect storage since release (55-57F temperature, 60-70% relative humidity, dark and vibration-free), it would have no value other than as a novelty. With guaranteed perfect storage, you might find someone to give you a few bucks for it on eBay.
