Burgundy Red Wine Vintage Chart: 1978 to 2022
WEB2001. Wet summer with some heat spikes. As for red bordeaux from this vintage, a gentle hand was needed in the winery to retain delicacy and not emphasize the already notable tannins. Quite varied quality. Wines from low-yielding grapes will provide exciting long-term drinking but others are gawky. August hail in Volnay.

Its other aliases include Muscat of Frontignan, Muscat Lunel, Muskateller, Moschato Spinas or Muscat of Spina This sort of Muscat is capable of producing wines with real finesse and a particularly pure, floral sort of grapiness.
The World Atlas of Wine, 8th edition | JancisRobinson.com

The great distinction of the wine it produces is that it has a very powerful and recognisable ...
Bordeaux red wine vintages | JancisRobinson.com
WEB2016. The quality of red Bordeaux in 2016 was universally lauded – although the response to the en primeur campaign was muted. Quantity was high too, with the equivalent of 770 million bottles of wine produced. An exceptionally dry summer with cool nights eventually, thanks to mid September rain, resulted in small, thick-skinned, ripe grapes ...
Nebbiolo | JancisRobinson.com
WEBIf Pinot Noir is the world's most tantalising grape, Nebbiolo runs it a close second – for very similar reasons. While the red burgundy grape has been slow to travel happily from its birthplace, and is only just showing signs of settling down in places such as Oregon, Australia, South Africa and cooler parts of California, good Nebbiolo wine is still extremely difficult to find outside its ...
