Help with a label: Ch. Meyney Prieure des Couleys 1975?

All,

I recently bought some 1975 Meyney. When the wine was delivered, the label has a second name, Prieure des Couleys, that I have not seen on more recent vintages (going back to the early 1980's). Is this the first wine, or perhaps a second label? Research indicates that the name is a very old name for the estate, but also that there is or was recently a second wine, perhaps called Prieure de Meyney.

So, what do I have?

Thanks,

Taze
