1948
The wine is no more remembered than the weather that year. A bottle tasted in March 2018 nevertheless proved to be excellent. Despite its cloudy color, the nose was ripe and very complex. The palate was pleasant and the acidity of the wine—probably a bit aggressive in its youth—now brings a lovely freshness and remarkably lengthens the finish. However, it quickly deteriorated in the glass and should therefore not be decanted or only at the very last moment before serving. (March 2018)
Climate
1948 was an "average" year with nothing particular standing out. Perhaps it suffered the great disadvantage of being completely overshadowed by great vintages before and after it : 1947 and 1949. It therefore left no specific trace in the memories of wine professionals. (The picking began 23rd September)
