help with this wine

Jan 11, 2004 4 Replies

I have a bottle of 1990 Chateau Jonqueyres- Bordeaux. I'm not familiar with this wine, can someone tell me about this wine and what this bottle, which has been kept in ideal storage, is worth? Thank you- I understand that this is located in the Entre-Deux-Mers region.

is your friend. I found a merchant selling it for 25 USD

It's a red wine I assume? If so, I think that your wine is a Bordeaux Superieure of good reputation. 1990 was a very good year in Bordeaux, but I suspect that your wine is nearing or at the end of its useful lifetime. I'd open it up sooner rather than later. As Steve has said, it's worth has an upper limit of about $25.

Thank you both for your response. Yes, it is a red. I'm curious the bottle says Saint Germain du Puch- where is this located, on the right bank? any info is greatly appreciated.

Well, as the name "Entre-deux-Mers" implies, it's between the Dordogne and the Garonne. In this case, it's about 5 mi (8 km) SW of Libourne, if that's any help...
