Vintage 1981
Bordeaux 1981 /The small but high quality vintage of 1981 was overshadowed by superb 1982. The warm and dry weather started from flowering and kept up until September when occasional rains took place until the harvesting was completed in good conditions beginning of October. Generally speaking the reds produced were elegant, moderately light–bodied and delicate wines in all appellations. The dry whites were moderate quality and Sauternes actually better that the next year 1982. Although this is often regarded as a modest year, a few good wines saw daylight. These include Margaux and Cheval Blanc.
