A bottle of chateau chalon from 1969 sitting on a table outside in the sunlight. This picture shows the front of the bottle with a slightly damaged label. The wine level is mid shoulder and there is a yellow wax cap.
A bottle of chateau chalon from 1969 sitting on a table outside in the sunlight. This picture shows the back of the bottle with a slightly damaged triangular label. The label notes that the grapes were harvested in 1969 and then the wine was bottled in 1976.
A close-up of the top of the bottle (and cork) after the wax cap has been removed and the top of the bottle cleaned up.
A picture of the opened bottle, with fragments of the wax cap and the cork (which came out in one piece!) sitting between the two prongs of an ah-so wine opener.
Prepping wine for dinner later (celebrating another trip around the sun). This wine is made from grapes picked a few months after Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. Put in bottle early in 1976, it’s been there for 50 years - until today. #jura #jurawine #vinjaune #chateauchalon
