Vintage & Style
1953 was a very fine vintage: refined, delicate, and perfectly balanced. After a variable spring, summer was warm and dry without extremes, and harvest occurred under excellent conditions. Reds are elegant, supple, and aromatic, with silky tannins. Whites are precise, vivid, and pure, with great length. A classic, noble vintage, often overshadowed by 1955 but just as distinguished.
