1972 Vintage wine

An average vintage for Burgundy but surprising in Rhône

In Bordeaux, the 1972 vintage was disappointing. Red wines lack fruit and charm. Bad weather has made the majority of wines green and acidic, which nevertheless allows them to keep over time. However, there are quite successful wines in the Graves and Margaux appellations. The Château Haut Bages Libéral 1972 and the Château Pavie 1972 are interesting.

In Burgundy, the most concentrated wines are of good quality. The domains of Beaune and Nuit Saint Georges offer great wines. In the Rhône Valley, we are talking about a very good vintage. The red wines of the Côte Rôtie and Cornas appellations are extremely rich. Hermitage wines are excellent and Châteauneuf-du-Pape offers complex and fruity wines.

A wine of 1972 is the best idea for an anniversary wine gift to celebrate an anniversary, a wedding anniversary...
