Comment
Winemaker's note: Wine vinified by François Gaunoux. Weather conditions: A wet and fairly cool year. A small harvest, with Meursault Perrières that slightly resemble the 1970 vintage, but with more structure. 1970, 1976, and 1978 were the three standout vintages for Chardonnay in the 1970s. Harvest around October 10th.
(*)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.
