French wine map shows the best vintage, from 1978 to 2011. Top years include 1990, a year in which eight of the nine regions are given full marks, and 2005, when Loire, Alsace and the reds from Burgundy and Bordeaux are each awarded a ten.
Other years are more mixed, while 1984 was a "pretty terrible" vintage in the major European regions - hence its absence from Berry Bros and Rudd's wine ratings, and the chart above. Of course, vintage charts are summaries that may hide exceptional wines from poor years - and occasionally the opposite. Marions-les!
