Syrupy Bordeaux - 1952

Overall quality of the vintage: good. Firm, fine and well-balanced wines. Good ageing potential.

Rhone Valley - 1952

These well-constituted wines are delicious, quite sweet in character, silky and sensitive to caress. They purr and age admirably.

Loire - 1952

Very good Chinons, not very alcoholic and well fruity. Quite good white Anjous, semi-dry or sweet, not very fruity but well balanced, as produced by Jean Boivin in Fesles.
