Wine 1968 Bourgogne

The 1968 vintage will go down in Burgundy as a disastrous year, one of the weakest of the post-war era, marked by a cold and rainy summer and the development of rot that ruined a large part of the harvest. The reds (Pinot Noir) suffered heavily: diluted, thin and marked by vegetal notes, they are critically lacking in substance, with the rarest of exceptions. The whites (Chardonnay) also fall well short, in a diluted and characterless style, from Meursault to Chablis. The aging potential was virtually nil, and the vast majority of cuvées have today disappeared or are well past any point of interest for drinking. Sandwiched between the decent 1967 and the great 1969, the 1968 remains a vintage best forgotten, of anecdotal interest to collectors alone.
