Ten Years On: Burgundy 2013 

BY NEAL MARTIN |

Every year, while doing the rounds of barrel tastings up and down the Côte d’Or, I like to revisit an older vintage. Last year, I asked winemakers if they could pull out a 2013, white or red, seeing as we often crack open bottles that reach that decade milestone. This is by no means a comprehensive overview of the vintage, but it serves as a litmus test to see how various wines are evolving, whether it is a vintage that might be worth opening now or is best left in a cool, dank cellar.
