For Bordeaux wines, a rather satisfactory year. Marked by changing weather with a hot summer and heavy rains before harvest, severe sorting was necessary. Talented producers managed to distinguish themselves with fleshy and balanced wines. The best successes stand out in the Médoc area, particularly in the Margaux, Saint Julien, and Pessac Léognan appellations. The same observation applies to Burgundy wines, with capricious weather but ultimately very decent grape yield and quality. The red Burgundies improve with time, but the whites are not built for aging.

In the Rhône, amid a difficult stretch from 1991 to 1994, heavy rains swept away the benefits of favorable summer conditions. The south experienced severe flooding from mid-September onward. The resulting wines are fairly light.

Our tips for buying a 1993 wine.

Among this vintage’s finest successes, we recommend Château Angelus 1993, Château Margaux 1993, Château Pape Clément 1993 and Château Talbot 1993, all of which produced fine wines. The Sauternes wines from this year are best avoided, as heavy rains damaged the quality of the vintage.

For Burgundy wines, favor the reds, which are good, complex and develop a longer finish over time.

In the northern Rhône Valley, the 1993 wines are of lower quality. In the southern Rhône, however, the reds are excellent. Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas produced a great vintage.
