Winemakers Notes: 1970 is a very demonstrative vintage. A cold, rainy spring delayed the appearance of vegetation until April 14th. From then on, the vines benefited from ideal climatic conditions, with a beautiful month of June. Flowering occurred under excellent circumstances and the vineyard was beautiful. Not a single drop of rain fell in July. Severe thunderstorms in August accelerated the ripening process, which came to an end on 26th. The hot weather in September allowed for optimal maturity and excellent concentration. Picking began on the 26th. These conditions, close to perfection, produced a remarkable wine, which is often considered as one of the greatest between 1961 and 1982. Château Palmer’s terroir is considered to be at its best with this vintage. Richness, fruitiness, concentration and balance are the key words. Over time, the wines have gained in depth and show remarkable length and finesse. 1970 is a great vintage, rich and ripe in its plenitude.
