Question: What about my 4 bottles of André Simon Champagne from the seventies?
Answer: Yes, your bottle shots are quite intriguing. Not much information was ascertained from the labels to help except for Cuvee Speciale Champagne shipped by André Simon Epernay and imported by Barton Brands Inc (used to be a Barton Distillery plus also a wine & spirits store) in Chicago USA. Any back label information? The Founder in 1933 of our International Wine & Food Society was André Simon (1877-1970) who was the English Agent for the Champagne House of Pommery and Greno. Possibly it might be produced by Pommery but slightly suspicious as prominently shows “Produce of France” & “Imported From France”. Also as André died in 1970 perhaps someone else was trading on his famous name in marketing these bottles. No vintage? A blend? Can’t really help you on value. Suggest you open one of your 4 bottles to try it to see the quality and present condition of these bubbles. Can anyone from the Chicago area throw any further light on this issue? Good luck.
