Wine 1961 Bourgogne

The 1961 vintage in Burgundy stands out as a great year, one of the most illustrious of the era, born of a troubled flowering that sharply reduced yields and concentrated ripe, rich grapes. The reds (Pinot Noir) are its defining expressions: powerful, dense and deep, endowed with generous flesh and a superb ageing potential, with monumental successes in the Côte de Nuits (Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny, Morey-Saint-Denis). The whites (Chardonnay) are rich and ample, from Meursault to Puligny-Montrachet and Chablis. The ageing potential was considerable. More than sixty years on, the greatest perfectly cellared reds can still impress, but the individual bottle becomes decisive. Between the elegant 1962 and the weak 1960, the 1961 ranks among the very greatest years in the region, alongside 1964, 1966 and 1969.
