Our opinion on the 2013 vintage: an advantageous vintage for Burgundy wines and sweet wines. 

In Bordeaux, the capricious weather gave producers a hard time. Fortunately, thanks to the expertise of the châteaux, the 2013 vintage was able to produce some interesting wines. Burgundy was also hit by unstable weather conditions. The result was a thin and late harvest, but the low yields allowed the berries to be more concentrated. The Rhône Valley generally produced better wines than in 2012. Of almost similar quality, the 2013 red wines are more balanced than the previous vintage.

Our advice on buying a 2013 wine.

In Bordeaux, Saint-Estèphe was one of the few appellations to benefit from a substantially drier growing season. As a result, its wines are of superior quality and rank among the most successful Bordeaux wines of 2003. 

It was an excellent vintage for Sauternes, with wines of very high quality. Château Guiraud’s grand vin from 2013 is a fine example.

In Burgundy, the wines are fresh and intensely aromatic. The whites have lively acidity but lack a little depth. The reds, meanwhile, are lighter and more elegant.

We recommend the Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis appellations, which produced some very good Burgundy wines, as did Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.

In the Rhône, look to the wines of the north. The Rhône Valley excelled in the Hermitage, Côte Rôtie and Cornas appellations. The reds are fresh and pure, while the whites are livelier and more aromatic.
