1972 Wine

1972 Wine

An average vintage for Burgundy but surprising in the Rhône. In the Bordeaux wine region, the 1972 vintage is of average quality. The red wines slightly lack fruit and charm. The bad weather made most of the wines green and acidic, which nonetheless allows them to age well. The best wines in this vintage are from 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 estates of Beaune and Nuits-Saint-Georges offer great wines. In the Rhône Valley, it is considered a very good vintage. The red wines from the Côte-Rôtie and Cornas appellations are very rich. The Hermitage wines are excellent and the Châteauneuf-du-Pape offers complex and fruity wines.

What is the price of a wine from 1972?

The price of a 1972 wine will depend on several factors such as the producer, region, quality, and condition of the bottle. As with all wines, prices can vary considerably depending on these factors.

In general, 1972 wines are not considered exceptional in France, but there are exceptions. Prices can therefore vary considerably depending on the rarity and quality of the wine.

The average price of a 1972 wine can range from a few hundred euros to several thousand euros. Champagne, Bordeaux, and Burgundy wines are often more expensive than wines from other regions, due to their reputation and aging potential.

However, it's important to note that price doesn't always guarantee wine quality. It's therefore important to do your research and ensure you're buying a quality wine bottle from a reputable producer that has been properly stored.

Is 1972 a good year for wine?

The 1972 vintage is not considered a very good year for wine in France. That year, weather conditions were not optimal for grape growth and maturation, resulting in rather light and less concentrated wines. Additionally, there were rot problems in some regions, which affected grape quality.

Of course, there are always exceptions and wine producers who managed to produce quality wines, but generally, 1972 is not considered a great year for wine in France.
