1972 Wine

1972 Wine

An average vintage for Burgundy but surprising in the Rhône. In the Bordeaux wine region, the 1972 vintage is of average quality. The red wines slightly lack fruit and charm. The bad weather made most of the wines green and acidic, which nevertheless allows them to be preserved over time. The best wines in this vintage are from the Graves and Margaux appellations. The Château Haut Bages Libéral 1972 and the Château Pavie 1972 are interesting. In Burgundy, the most concentrated wines are of good quality. The estates of Beaune and Nuits-Saint-Georges offer great wines. In the Rhône Valley, it is considered a very good vintage. The red wines from the Côte Rôtie and Cornas appellations are very rich. The Hermitage wines are excellent and the Châteauneuf-du-Pape offers complex and fruity wines.

In general, wines from 1972 are not considered exceptional in France, but there are exceptions. Prices can therefore vary considerably depending on the rarity and quality of the wine.

The average price of a 1972 wine can range from a few hundred euros to several thousand euros. Champagne, Bordeaux and Burgundy wines are often more expensive than wines from other regions, due to their reputation and aging potential.

Is 1972 a good year for wine?

The 1972 vintage is not considered a very good year for wine in France. That year, weather conditions were not optimal for grape growth and maturation, resulting in rather light and less concentrated wines. Additionally, there were rot problems in some regions, which affected the quality of the grapes.

Of course, there are always exceptions and wine producers who have managed to produce quality wines, but in general, 1972 is not considered a great year for wine in France.
