"Memoir, Correspondence, And Miscellanies, From The Papers Of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 2"

le Comte de Femelle,
who has engaged to Barton, a merchant: the other third to the Comte de
Toulouse, at Toulouse. The whole is seventy-five tons. 4. _Chateau de
la Fite_, belonging to the President Pichard, at Bordeaux, who makes one
hundred and seventy-five tons. The wines of the three first, are not in
perfection till four years old: those of _de la Fite_, being somewhat
lighter, are good at three years; that is, the crop of 1786 is good in
the spring of 1789. These growths, of the year 1783, sell now at two
thousand livres the ton; those of 1784, on account of the superior
quality of that vintage, sell at twenty-four hundred livres; those of
1785, at eighteen hundred livres; those of 1786, at eighteen hundred
livres, though they had sold at first for only fifteen hundred livres.
Red wines of the second quality, are Rozan, Dabbadie or Lionville, la
Rose, Qui-rouen, Durfort; in all eight hundred tons, which sell at
one thousand livres, new. The third class, are Galons, Mouton, Gassie,
Arboete, Pontette, de Ferme, Candale; in all two thousand tons, at eight
or nine hundred livres.
