Wine 1963

The 1963 vintage has a very poor reputation, and it must be acknowledged that the climatic conditions did not help winegrowers produce great wines. In Bordeaux, 1963 was cold and wet throughout the summer (from July to September inclusive), meaning the wines are far from the standard of the 1961 vintage, regardless of colour. In Burgundy, the very late harvest stretched into early November, thanks to an Indian summer that helped save the crop, but the 1963 red Burgundies are not legendary for all that. The 1963 white Burgundies from Meursault and Puligny Montrachet are better and can sometimes be a pleasant surprise. There was no 1963 vintage in Champagne, as the wines were held in reserve to supply the blends for non-vintage bruts. It should be said that the wines had a formidable acidity, and it would probably have taken time to incorporate these reserve wines into the subsequent non-vintage bruts (so as not to alter their flavour). In the Rhône Valley, 1963 is not a particularly notable year either, nor is it in the Loire or in Alsace, where production was severely affected by the poor weather conditions. While 1963 is not a great year from an oenological standpoint, a bottle from this vintage can nonetheless make an original gift on the occasion of an anniversary vintage. Offering a bottle of wine from a symbolic year is always a gesture that is appreciated.
