Nee hoor Johan, deze is gebotteld tijdens ons bezoek. Etiket ter plaatse ontworpen door Guilhem' zus Axelle...

Bij nadere inspectie zie ik het inderdaad staan in de hoek rechtsonder. Bedankt voor de info.

Dudognon Heritage x2

I have high hopes for green wax sealer version. Had the beige wax seal bottles before, and my impression was consistent with other forum member’s.

Just acquired this bottle. This was sold as a Cognac Ragnaud. Does anyone recognize the label or the crest? I can’t verify this online with other Ragnaud seals and labels. Any feedback will be very much appreciated.

I saw this bottle on an auction.
Probably Raymond Ragnaud : 20-25 years old.

Is it an old Ragnaud bottle? Never seen that label before. And there isn’t one like that on the web.

It's bottled for "La Guilde des Cavistes".

That makes sense now. This forum is so resourceful. Thank you Roland! In that case, it’s surprising that Ragnaud would attach the prestige of “reserve de la famille” designation on a 20-25 year old bottle, and didn’t reserve that for much older offerings.

Here is a bottle that I was excited to get, but hoping to get some more information on it. I know there’s quite a few Audry fans in the forum, but does anyone here know if Audry dealt with Fin Bois at all? My limited knowledge on this house is that they only work with Grande and Petite champagne varieties. This one seems like an odd ball. The address is also different from the more recent bottle. Of course they could’ve moved. At least the administrative office anyway.

The last picture, with the red circle, is one of the newer Audry Exception.
