About the 1978 vintage in Corton:

1978 is one of the 10 best vintages of the 20th century for Cortons wines. The perfect climatic conditions allowed the production of great wines for laying down, which the Corton appellation is perfectly satisfied with. This very well-preserved bottle will surely be one of the finest examples.

Exceptional provenance: These bottles come from a cellar of a great Swiss wine enthusiast and collector. We have acquired the complete collection containing more than 200 bottles of mainly French and Italian wines. The bottles have all been preserved following their purchase en primeur or shortly after their marketing on site, in a natural cellar buried under a 16th century convent. A damp cellar, which is why some labels are very worn. The levels are generally excellent or perfect and the most "fragile" bottles testify to conservation in total darkness for more than 30 years!
