sale Romanee Conti 1965 Magnum

[J-M LATAIRE]

My parents are selling a Magnum Romanee Conti 1965.
I am checking on the side how they could make the best of it.

Hi 3-M and welcome to the board. Which of the R-Cs' are you talking about? Doubt the wine is worth anything as this was an absolutely horrible vintage in Burgandy. Too bad it wasn't a year earlier. I had a R-C Richebourg 65 in the mid 70s' and it was a mean, lean unattractive wine. Good luck. WW

I lived in Europe in 1965, and the summer was known and the "green winter." All the seaside resorts stayed closed all season. Cooking steaks on my balcony on the 4th of July required wearing two sweaters. Not a good environment for ripening grapes.
