Comment
Winemaker's note: Wine vinified by François Gaunoux. Weather conditions: 1976 was one of the hottest years of the century. The summer was extremely dry. On August 8th, the commune of Rully in Saône-et-Loire saw nearly 100% of its harvest damaged by hail. The decision was made to harvest late, while most estates harvested at the end of August. Very ripe grapes resulted in a highly concentrated Goutte d'Or with a very complex aromatic profile today, due to a harvest around September 18th.
(*)As the wines are lying in France, French VAT at a rate of 20% will be added to the hammer price and the buyer’s commission.
