Wine 1981 Bourgogne

The 1981 vintage makes Burgundy a difficult and minor year, marked by troubled flowering, hail episodes and rains that reduced and weakened the harvest. The reds (Pinot Noir) suffer accordingly: light and variable, they lack concentration and call for immediate drinking, with rare successes in the Côte de Nuits. The whites (Chardonnay) prove somewhat more convincing, in a fresh and classic register, from Meursault to Chablis, but remain modest as well. The aging potential is very low, and virtually all cuvées are ready to drink today, or well past their peak. Framed by the elegant 1980 and the abundant 1982, the 1981 remains a minor vintage, best reserved for lovers of curiosities.
