1959 Wine

1959 Wine

The 1959 vintage is the first excellent vintage since the terrible frost of 1956. 

In the Bordeaux region, the quality is very good and particularly on the right bank (Graves, Saint-Julien, Saint-Estèphe, Margaux, Pauillac). The Château Lafite Rothschild 1959, for example, is remarkable with an explosive bouquet, firm and full-bodied, with an incredible length. In Sauternes, the Château d'Yquem 1959 is extraordinary and it was in this year that the Château launched its dry wine Y d'Yquem which proved to be a success.

In Burgundy, the 1959 vintage enters the legend of mythical vintages. The concentrated and swollen grapes offer us high-quality wines, rich, generous in fruity aromas and full of sunshine. In Champagne, Rhône Valley and other regions of France, quality will also be present. The best wines of this vintage are Châteaux Lafite Rothschild, Haut Brion, Vieux Château Certan, Montrose, Climens, Yquem and the appellations Chambertin, Musigny, Richebourg and Hermitage in the Rhône.
