I've recently inherited a wine collection that my uncle procured over the last 30-40 years and I’ve spent the last few weeks going over it by categorizing and taking stock of what exactly I have on my hands. Most of it I’ve been able to find on Google but there’s a few where it wasn’t helpful and I hope someone here can help me with my questions.
Pic 1: What kind of wine is this? I was able to find the producer but it doesn’t show up on their website has no info on it.
Pic 2: Does anyone have any info on these wines? I found several Cote Roties but nothing with these labels.
Pic 3: This one I know the wine as it looks to be a Chateau Haut Brion. I'm a bit worried that the label is fake or retouched because of the stark difference between the washed out background and the printed year being so dark and clear. Is this normal, or is something fishy going on here?

The first bottle is Marc de Bourgogne. It’s not wine. It’s a spirit.
The Marc de Bourgogne is a brandy made from the pomace of the producer’s wine. It’s usually rougher and more like Grappa than regular brandy. I’ve never had de Vogue’s but I imagine it’s probably good as this is a top-notch producer.
Dervieux-Thaize was an awesome producer that doesn’t exist anymore. If those have been stored well they could be excellent.
Happy to help drink any of these with you!!
The Cote Roties are the 86 and 96 of [this wine](https://www.cellartracker.com/wine.asp?iWine=2487895).
