Vintage Report 1982
A milestone. The combination of richness and perceived quality matched the economic climate. It was the first really important, and well-timed, vin de garde since 1970. Ideal growing conditions. Flowering early and even. Hot and dry summer, harvest from 14 September in great heat, the early-ripening Merlot having very high sugar content. There was then a change, two days of heavy rain, but then the sun and fresh breezes enabled the Cabernets to ripen well. Rich tannic wines resulted. M.B.
