I will keep my eyes and ears open, but it definitely seems to be a mystery beyond some of the data you have provided. I appreciate it! Thanks for the info Brett.

They specialized in a non vintage Chateauneuf-du-Pape which was in a similar bottle shape as yours. So I reckon yours is similar which is why no vintage is indicated. It was always a big seller, reasonably priced but not in the league of 'classic' wines from that region. Perhaps the PX has an archive, or a museum who would be interested in buying it from you. I would be very, and delightfully surprised, if it is any good! Brotte was sold a few years ago. They specialized in a non vintage Chateauneuf-du-Pape which was in a similar bottle shape as yours.

When one knows how to seek out fascinating wines, fascinating wines are found.

I will try again to take a search and lean on some wine experts in the know via the interwebs... lets see what we find. Thanks for the note! Ed Susan,
