Information on the vintage 1952 red Bordeaux : The actual growing season was very satisfactory up until September which was cold and unsettled. The harvest was fairly early and I suspect the unripeness of some of the crop is responsible for its variability: best in the Graves and on the Right Bank, harder, more unyielding in the Medoc.
