It offers the perfect opportunity to taste a piece of history with family and friends. The 1975 vintage in Bordeaux started with a mild winter and somewhat of a complicated spring, with variable temperatures proving difficult to manage. Despite a wet start to the summer, the final few months were hot and dry, which allowed the grapes to ripen well – especially on the Right Bank, where the conditions were more favourable to Merlot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"paneTitle\"\u003eTasting note\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis was one of the first vintages for Michel Bécot, owner of the property since 1969.
