Author	Topic: A French wine taster but by who?
labarbedor Posts: 353 Registered: Jun 2002	posted 04-05-2005 11:25 PM I was wondering if anyone has any of the provincial mark books, I am missing. This is a wine taster with a first coq provincial mark. Can anyone tell the maker? I don’t have a complete list of the numbers for the different regions for this period. If anyone does I would love a copy. It is stamped “François Bidet M Dechavagne”. IP: Logged

According to the list for the years 1798-1809, the assay office could be in the following departments (city in brackets): Somme 90(Amiens) Tarn 91 (Albi) Var 92 (Toulon) Vaucluse 93 (Avignon) Vendee 94 (Fontenay) Vienne 95 (Poitiers) Haute Vienne 96 (Limoges) Vosges 97 (Epinal) Yonne 98 (Auxerre). As this list covers a lot of geography, knowing the maker would narrow it down. Alas, I can't help you there. Good luck! IP: Logged
