Bordeaux 1977
The 1977 vintage in Bordeaux is certainly one of the smallest vintages of the 70s, along with 1972, 1973 and 1974, due to a very harsh winter and spring followed by a wet and cold summer, the beautiful warm weather of the harvest unfortunately coming too late. Merlot in particular suffered enormously from the frosts, causing a lot of damage on the right bank in Saint-Emilion and Pomerol.
The rare successes of 1977
We will find only very rare successes in France, the country having experienced almost everywhere the same mediocre climatic conditions: the wines of 1977 from Burgundy, Rhône, Champagne or Alsace are not wines for ageing.
Great successes are also rare outside France: in Italy (Piedmont and Tuscany wines) and Portugal, the 1977 vintage being a great vintage for Port wines.
