Overall quality of the vintage: excellent. Wines that have aged well, still good.

Large quantities of grapes harvested. These are also quality wines with lengthy ageing potential. Even today, they are still lively.

Rhone Valley - 1979

Like biting into the fruit. Delightful heart, a little pushy, but why not enjoy it? After 15 years, the Gigondas offers aromas of cocoa, bay and spices: the very essence of the Grenache in its ripe old age. There is also pleasure to be found in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with its smooth and caressing warmth, as well as in the Château-Grillet.
