Generalisation is always dangerous, and never more than in Burgundy, where there are so many opportunities for exceptions!
Nevertheless, I thought it might be helpful to at least some of you if I set down my experiences of the different vintages in recent years. I have restricted myself to the commercially relevant vintages – that are of some interest and may actually be still worth drinking, so we start with 1957.
If you have an interest in older vintages then I commend to you the Allen Meadows / Doug Barzelay book “Burgundy Vintages, A History from 1845”.
