1971

Red Burgundy - 1971

Meteorological data: favourable weather overall. Difficult flowering. Shatter. Hail in August. Hot sun in September.

Harvest status: from September 16th.

Abundance: small harvest, much reduced in Côte de Beaune, where the hail affected the vines.

Quality: lovely ripe, concentrated grapes, in spite of some shatter and millerandage.

Overall quality of the vintage: excellent. Magnificent generous, strong and well-balanced wines. Perfect today, but will still stand keeping a little longer.

White Burgundy - 1971

Harvest status: exceptionally favourable weather conditions, despite hail in August. Concentrated grapes.

Overall quality of the vintage: excellent. Dry, firm and well-constituted wines. Excellent for laying down, a real success.  The best may still be good.

Harvest status: Dates: from September 4th.

Abundance: Small harvest. Lower yield than in previous years.

Quality: good maturity.

Overall quality of the vintage: very good. Elegant, powerful wines, excellent now and should continue to be so for some time to come.

Bordeaux White - 1971

Meteorological data: A late spring and a slow flowering, but a lovely sunny summer.

Harvest status:

Quality: perfectly ripened grapes.

Syrupy  Bordeaux - 1971

Meteorological data: good weather conditions.

Harvest status: Dates: early, beginning of October.

Meteorological data: Frost in spring, thunderstorms in May. Heat and rain in June, uneven flowering. More thunderstorms in August. Luckily, a hot, dry September saved the day.

Harvest status:

Abundance: small harvest.

Quality: uneven.

Overall quality of the vintage: excellent. Elegant, thin, delicate and refreshing wines. Their heyday has now passed, but some, the greatest and the firmest, can still be pleasant.

Red Rhone Coast - 1971

Overall quality of the vintage: good. Lovely wines, a little less powerful and structured than the 1970s. But the best, and those best kept, have shown great extended ageing potential.

Alsace Blanc - 1971

Harvest status: Dates: early.

Abundance: small harvest.

Quality: Fine, ripe and concentrated grapes.
