Vintage 1979

Burgundy: Spring started rather cold, but in May, warmer weather arrived to get flowering off to a good start. Normal, warm summer conditions followed, with the exception of a severe local storm in June which minimized crop sizes in Vosne-Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny. The harvest began at the end of September. The fine, elegant wines were just a little sweeter than the '78s; The Côte de Beaune did particularly well.

Written Notes

A good vintage. Despite the cold and wet weather delayed the vegetal growth of the vines, the growth processed in a good slow speed during the moderately warm summer. Vosne-Romanée suffered from some violent stroms at the end of harvest.
