The 1982 vintage was never going to be normal. For a start, as Christian Moueix points out, \"it was a perfect summer, like those of 1989<\/a> and 2005<\/a>\". For Jean-Bernard Delmas, then head of Haut-Brion<\/a>It was a hot, dry summer chair, so there was no disease and no insects to worry about\". He wasn't exaggerating. Winter had been mild, April was dry and sunny and, apart from a few scattered hailstorms, May was just as promising. June and July provided an excellent mix of sunshine and showers, albeit very hot. While August and early September, with temperatures reaching 30\u00b0, did not damage the grapes or prevent early harvesting - by September 15, the result was a Merlot with over 13% of potential alcohol, even more than the Cabernet, which exceeded 12% - levels then considered remarkable.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our 1982 wines in the cellar<\/a> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n An extraordinary vintage in terms of both quality and quantity. Near-perfect weather conditions resulted in an overabundant harvest, with extraordinarily ripe grapes. The majority of ch\u00e2teaux produced perfect yields and incredibly complex, rich and concentrated wines. Comparable to 1961, 1945 and 1929, the 1982 vintage<\/a><\/strong> is truly a legendary vintage in Bordeaux. Slightly inferior in their early years, the sweet wines now reveal extraordinary richness. <\/p>\n Source : Wine Advocate<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our 1982 wines in the cellar<\/a> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ideal spring conditions in Burgundy in 1982 enabled early and abundant flowering. Summer was dry and hot until August, with significant rainfall. Ripening took place in September under perfect weather conditions: plenty of sunshine and high temperatures, and these conditions were maintained throughout the harvest period, which ended in the first week of October.<\/p>\n Source : Wine Advocate<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our 1982 wines in the cellar<\/a> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"meilleurs-vins-boRDEAUX-1982\"](\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/meilleurs-vins-boRDEAUX-1982.jpg\" "\\"1982")
