The Bordeaux wines of the 1986 vintage are of very good quality. There are great wines from the Médoc, which can be compared to the 1961 vintage or a 1982 vintage. The red wines are very rich and have good aging potential. Among the most beautiful successes there are the Château Lafite-Rothschild 1986, Château Léoville Las Cases 1986, Château Margaux 1986, Château Pichon Longueville Baron 1986 …

The sweet white wines are exquisite, like the château d'Yquem 1986 and a château Coutet 1986. Then, in Burgundy, 1986 is a decent vintage. The wines of the Côte des Nuits appellation benefited from better quality harvests. The most successful wines retain a beautiful ruby color and are good to keep. The 1986 champagne are good.
