The 1959 vintage is legendary, marked by nearly perfect growing conditions with a warm, dry summer. This led to exceptional ripeness and concentration. Bordeaux shone brilliantly, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot delivering rich, velvety textures and complex flavors of black fruit, tobacco, and earthy undertones. Burgundy also excelled, producing elegant Pinots that showcased vibrant red fruit and floral notes. A truly remarkable vintage that continues to impress with its depth and age-worthiness.
