In Bordeaux, the harvests were abundant and the quality was excellent. Favoured by a hot summer which led to the over-ripening of grapes, the châteaux were able to produce very pleasant, fruity and well-balanced wines. The Sauternes are remarkable. Unctuous and honeyed, the châteaux of Yquem 1983, Climens 1983, Fargues 1983 and Gilette 1983 offer truly great wines. Burgundy wines have managed to find balance with age despite difficult weather conditions. The appellations Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vosne-Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny experienced violent hailstorms which destroyed part of the harvest and could have weakened the quality of the wines. Fortunately, in June, hot and dry conditions persisted, allowing for a successful flowering.

This was not the case in Gevrey-Chambertin, where wet conditions led to rot, but enough grapes could be saved. The red Burgundies are fruity and have these characteristic aromas of Pinot Noir. As for the whites, they are very full-bodied wines with high alcohol content and good acidity.

Several successes also for the 1983 Champagnes where the harvest was abundant and extremely healthy. The wines are rich, complex and opulent but they remain rare to obtain today. Finally, the Rhône Valley wines are exceptional in every way.

Our advice for buying a 1983 wine

In Bordeaux, exceptional wines could be produced. The wines from the Margaux appellation are even considered better than the 1982 vintage. The sweet wines are also excellent, fruity and refined.

In Burgundy, the wines obtained vary in quality, posing a challenge for most appellations. Focus rather on the reds from Côte de Beaune and the wines from Côte de Nuits which remain excellent. The whites tend to be very full-bodied, leaning more towards opulence than refined elegance due to the wet conditions at the end of the season.

The reds from the northern Rhône are superb, particularly the wines from the Hermitage appellation.
