Condition
Believed "Blanche" for its very light tinge, clear and absence of color. 1-liter handblown bottle with sand-engraved shoulder. Remains of damaged and cracked red wax capsule. One can still ditinguish the paper dot on top of the wax but it is illegible. Good cork. Bin-soiled, stained and very slightly torn label, showing a beautiful watermark 'L. Garnier' embbeded in the paper. Small additional sticker mentions in old-fashioned pen-and-ink "A. Lecoeur 24 rue des Petits Champs" and some figures difficult decipher. One can read "7" and "4". Level at 10,4cms below base of cork.
