In Bordeaux, everything was going well until the rain arrived at the end of the season. Some water-laden grapes produced light wines, but the great estates managed to produce very fine wines through rigorous selection. The Saint-Estèphe and Saint-Julien appellations (Ducru-Beaucaillou 1973) produced beautiful wines, but there are other successes elsewhere, such as Pétrus 1973, Latour 1973, or Domaine de Chevalier 1973.

In Burgundy, despite a warm summer that helped the grapes ripen, the end of the season was very rainy. Yields were high, but Burgundy’s red wines are diluted. The white Burgundies fared better: they are pleasant, supple and distinguished.

The 1973 vintage was satisfactory for Rhône Valley wines. Some wines from Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage and Châteauneuf-du-Pape were particularly successful. Champagne was the standout region of the 1973 vintage. Round and balanced, 1973 ranks among Champagne’s greatest vintages.

Our advice on buying a 1973 wine.

In Bordeaux, the best wines of the 1973 vintage come from the Saint Estèphe, Saint Julien, Pomerol and Graves appellations, including Château Calon Segur 1973, Château Pape Clément 1973 and Château Pavie 1973. The sweet wines are supple and elegant, as with Château d‘Yquem 1973. For 1973 Burgundy wines, as in the Rhône, we recommend looking to the best producers, who managed to stand out that year. White Burgundies from 1973 can be a good choice and are worth prioritizing. Consult expert tasting notes to help form your own opinion. For each wine, you’ll find notes from experts (Robert Parker, Michael Broadbent, JM Quarin...) when they have tasted it in the past.
