Red Burgundy 1963: Drink now
Disappointing vintage across the whole of the region
Weather Conditions
The weather did not warm up until June, after a severe winter and protracted, coolish spring. July saw intermittent rain, and August was, frankly, wet. The crop did not really have a chance to begin ripening until the middle of September. Harvest began late, in October, and did not end until the beginning of November.
Best Appellations
None worth recommending
Best Producers
This vintage was a very poor one, with most of the producers not producing anything at all, and the best of the rest now well past their prime.
