Bordeaux 1967 Vintage Report

For much of the season, 1967 looked destined for greatness in Bordeaux, until the elements conspired against it in the final weeks.

Spring was steady if unremarkable, with the vines navigating the vulnerable flowering stage without major incident.

Summer conditions were balanced, oscillating between warm spells and refreshing intervals that kept the ripening on a steady track.

The finale was fraught with tension. A deluge of 109mm during the harvest period forced an expedited picking schedule to mitigate botrytis risks, rewarding those who sorted ruthlessly.

**Style:** Lighter-bodied, early-drinking wines that prioritize charm over depth.
