Hello, I have a bottle of 1979 Chateau La Mission Haut Brion. I was wondering if anyone knows how much it is worth.

I also have a bottle of 1981 Chateau Le Bon Pasteur Pomerol. How much?

And I have 2 bottles of 1979 Petrus Pomerol. How much?

Thank You for Your Assistance.

Hi Levski and welcome to the board. 79 and 81 were not great vintages but made some nice wines. The 79 La Mission is fairly typical of the vintage. Very good but without the depth of what this superb vineyard can produce. Should be at the top of its' aging curve if properly stoted. If not, all bets are off. 195 approx. The 79 Petrus is the same story. A good, not great Petrus that was an underachiever. 395-450 with the same caveat. Have nothing on the 81. WW
