Information on the vintage 1975:
Despite being pronounced optimistically a vin de garde ...in 1976, the wines have turned out to be irregular; indeed for some time now it has been a controversial vintage. Unquestionably better than the three preceding vintages and certainly interesting, not to say challenging.
