Vintage & Style
1961 is a legendary vintage: concentrated, powerful, and remarkably deep. Despite a cold spring and severe coulure (especially in Bordeaux), the low yields resulted in wines of extraordinary intensity. Reds are rich, structured, and age-worthy. Whites are less memorable but still sound. A historic year, particularly in Bordeaux, where many wines remain astonishing today.
