Average year. Small harvest. Harvest began on 5 October. The wines have, it would appear, evolved very well as today they are still vibrant and pleasant to drink.

A harvest that yielded both quantity and quality, with beautifully ripe grapes. Highly coloured wines with high levels of alcohol. Harvest began on 5 September. Those wines still available to drink are remarkable, showing both great elegance and ripeness.

A variable vintage. Hoarfrost during the vintage period. Harvest began on 29 September. Colour is still good and although the wines lack flesh they are still elegant.

Yields were high in quantity but affected by phylloxera. Harvest began on 3 October. These wines are still closed, an echo of a difficult vintage.

A great year. Lots of heat in June and September. Harvest began on 7 September. Remarkable wines, both white and red.

A great year, with well balanced wines. Ideal climatic conditions all year. Harvest began on 3 October. These wines are still great... even more surprising now than they were when young.

Great wines, particularly the reds, which still show lots of colour and youthful aromas. Very hot and dry summer. Harvest began on 21 September.

Very good year, albeit a very dry one. War rages all around: women have a big part to play in the success of the vintage. What a success! These wines are still remarkable for their elegant delicacy. Harvest began on 15 October.

Abundant vintage of good quality, although the wines were a bit hard in their youth. One of the few great vintages for which stock is available. Harvest began at the end of September.

Fairly high yields. Today the wines are still good and show great complexity. Both the late frosts and the summer drought made this a fairly difficult vintage. Harvest began at the end of September.

A very rainy year - this may well be the smallest vintage of the decade in Burgundy. Although harvest started late, thanks to the rains, these wines have turned out to be simply astonishing. Their tannic structure has allowed them to resist and outstrip any tendency towards green flavours and tannins.

An exceptional vintage, and a plentiful one too. The wines are still lively and persistent today. Harvest began on 15 September.

A very good vintage. The grapes were very warm at harvest-time, and there were a few slip-ups in vinification, but these wines have stood the test of time to become a reference point for quality. Harvest began at the start of September.

A hot year with low yields A great year, one of the driest of the century. A great vintage for red wines and an outstanding one for whites. Harvest began on 27 September.

A fair, gentle year. Frost at the end of April, very rainy in June, but a hot summer permitted a bountiful harvest. An attack of mildew challenged the balance of the wines in their youth, but they've come round very well. Harvest began on 15 September.

Great wines from an abundant but qualitative vintage. The wines are excellent right now. The sunniest post-war year. Harvest began on 14 September.

A good year, with wines that are both balanced and consistent. The drought rendered them somewhat closed during their youth, but they're drinking very well now. Little rainfall, both hot and dry. Harvest began on 25 September.

A good year, although fairly cold. The wines are elegant and supple but coming straight after the 1961 vintage has done them little favours. Harvest began on 6 October.

A dry year, with a heatwave in July. High in both quality and quantity. The wines are drinking extremely well right now. Harvest began on 26 September.

A very good vintage. The wines are still closed but have a great future ahead of them.

Very good wines. Low yields and good ripeness. Harvest began on 22 September.

An outstanding vintage. Low yields but exceptional concentration. Most of the Grands Crus are still somewhat closed. Harvest began on 8 September.

Great whites and very good reds.

Great whites and very pleasant reds.

Great wines for both colours.

A rather big crop but the wines are very good in both colours. They can still be kept for aging.

A great vintage for the white, and an exceptionnal vintage for the reds. They start to be pleasant for drinking but can also be aged further.

A very good vintage in both colours. The wines are quite ready to be drunk.

A great vintage for the whites and a good vintage for the reds.

A good vintage for the white and a great vintage for the reds.

The whites are very good today but the reds are still closed.

Great vintage for both colours. The whites are very lively and spicy and the reds should still be "forgotten" for a while.

The grapes were very mature in both colours, but this vintage is particularly outstanding for the reds.

A good vintage for both colours. The whites are ripe but often need to be "carafed". The reds are still closed.

A great vintage for Burgundy. The villages are affordable. the Grands Crus should be forgotten in the cellar.

Great vintage for the whites, good vintage for the reds. The whites are superb. The reds show a great deal of finesse and delicacy, they start to taste very nicely.

A good vintage for both colours. This vintage is quite surprising. The reds from the Côte de Nuits start to be "drinkable".

Fabulous vintage ! Very well balanced wines, very representative of Burgundy.

Great vintage for the whites, exceptionnal for the reds. The whites are fullbodied and very tasty. This vintage is very unusual, but very rich and amazing for the reds. A must have in a cellar.

A good vintage. A very lively vintage for the subtle and delicate whites. A soft and fruity vintage for the reds, some appreciate them already !

Great hope for the whites. A very nice vintage with almost perfect weather conditions for the reds as well as for the whites.

A very delicate vintage, full of contrasts. The whites are very similar to the 2004: great wines to come. The reds are full of character and charm.

This vintage turns to be a nice surprise. The colour of the reds is superb !
