Vintage 1959
Burgundy: A record crop of magnificent wines, legendary and still very good. Full but soft-textured. After a number of difficult vintages and small crops, finally a great vintage arrived with the rare combination of sufficient quantity and high quality.
An ideal spring flowering was followed by hot and dry weather in July and August. Showers refreshed the vines and on 14 September the harvest commenced under clear skies.
Great, charming wines of rich, ripe fruit balancing the structured tannins. Still with a long life ahead.
