Foreign language phrase for "best year"

[Johann van der Smut]

What is the phrase used to refer to somebody's "best year" or "most productive year", used of artistes, sportspersons, etc? I think it's either French or Latin. Thanks, Johann.

I love go-o-o-o-ld!

So long as you do not confuse it with Anus Profundus.
