1961 Domaine de l'Aumerade Côtes de Provence Wine Bottle Rare Old Vintage

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Visual description

This old wine bottle has a traditional sloping shoulder silhouette, typical of red wine bottles from the south of France. The bottle is sealed with a cork covered by a capsule whose dark patina testifies to its age. The main label, clearly visible on the front, displays "Domaine de l'Aumerade" in cursive letters, accompanied by the vintage year "1961" on a green disc located on the upper neck. "Côtes de Provence" is also mentioned, certifying the appellation of origin, as well as "Qualité Supérieure" and "Récoltant Propriétaire – Pierrefeu" at the bottom of the label.

The color of the wine, visible through the glass, is a deep dark red with brick-red hues, characteristic of wines that have aged for a long time. The bottle's glass appears slightly tinted, with dark green reflections, and the base seems thick and stable. The label, although patinated by time, remains generally legible, with some signs of wear, small stains, and marks visible on the front. The upper neck, adorned with the domain's name and vintage, is also intact but shows signs of alteration due to age.

The graphic style of the label, with its sober motifs and stylized coat of arms, perfectly matches the aesthetic of wine bottles from the 1960s. Visible inscriptions include "Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée" and "Domaine de l'Aumerade", confirming the authenticity and origin of the product. No visible detail allows for identifying the capacity, but the shape suggests a standard format for a fine aging wine.

Condition

Used bottle, sold as is. The label shows signs of wear and stains, consistent with the age of the vintage. Capsule and cork visible, with patina and traces of handling. The wine level appears correct for an old bottle, but no guarantee is given on the quality of the content.
