AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This listing is for an old Bordeaux wine bottle, specifically a 1970 Château du Glana vintage, as shown in the photograph. The bottle has a traditional Bordeaux shape, with dark green glass and a pronounced shoulder, typical of the great red wines of the region. The original red cap is still present on the upper part, displaying a patina marked by time, indicative of its age and cellar storage.

The main label, clearly legible, indicates "1970," "Château du Glana," and the mention "Grand Cru Exceptionnel." A delicate illustration of the château and its vineyards occupies the central part of the label, adding an authentic and elegant touch. "Saint-Julien" appears in red letters, specifying the protected designation of origin. Also visible are the mentions "Mise en bouteilles au château" (bottled at the château) and the name of the owner at the time, Gabriel Meffre.

The bottle shows signs of age with a partially patinated label and some traces of moisture or dust on the cap. No glass chips are visible on the presented side. The wine level appears consistent for a bottle of this age, although no precise estimation is possible from this view.

The overall design of the bottle, the visual identity of the label, and the original cap perfectly correspond to traditional Bordeaux production from the early 1970s. This presentation is characteristic of Médoc wines intended for aging.

The bottle is placed upright on a wooden stand, with a neutral background, highlighting the authentic and antique appearance of the object. No accessories or case are visible in the photo.
