Year 1873 Wine

The 1873 vintage is characterized by its exceptional quality, particularly in Bordeaux and parts of Germany. Favorable weather during the growing season resulted in robust wines with rich flavors of dark fruits, earthiness, and subtle spice. Aromas of leather and tobacco often emerge with age. This vintage, however, faced challenges from the outbreak of phylloxera in some regions, influencing future viticulture. Remarkably, wines from this year are celebrated for their impressive aging potential.
