Vintage 1984
Bordeaux / The year 1984 was statistically as poor as 1972. The cold and poor vintage was nevertheless transformed into moderate with skillful winegrowers using new production methods, tools and know-how. The vintage was overpriced after 1982. High wine prices at that time, combined with a poor vintage, resulted in leftover stocks. Now the situation is different and the wines for sale now have excellent value for money. However, they are not worth the investment.
