The 1982 vintage was a monumental one in Bordeaux, producing wines of extraordinary fruit, concentration and complexity. Many still believe 1982 was the region’s greatest vintage ever, though a few recent vintages should prove to be its equal. Two things are certain; the 1982 Bordeaux vintage captured the public’s imagination, and it made Robert M. Parker, Jr. and his newsletter, The Wine Advocate, famous.

This 1982 Bordeaux Collection includes many of the vintage’s most coveted wines. Today, more than 40 years since their release, they continue to impress with their overall excellence.
