While both the 2014s and the 2013s from Burgaud will age well, Bernard told me that "the '13 is the one you'll want to have the most patience with." Burgaud's Côte-Rôtie is a deceptively cellar-worthy wine that ages nicely on its balance, and I think many people underestimate it because it never shows forbidding tannins or overt structure. It’s one of the most immediately accessible wines of the appellation and rarely goes through a dumb or sullen stage, even in years like 2005 and 2010.

In Bernard Burgaud's opinion 2013 has turned out to be "a nice, agreeable vintage, but some wines have slightly dry tannins that should soften up with a few years of bottle age." He noted that he has no complaints about his yields in 2013 and 2012, both of which gave him "about 35 hectoliters per hectare, which is good because 2014 only gave 20." Burgaud thinks that 2012 will turn out to be "a classic year, but not in the sense of 2010, which is brilliant and too good to be called classic."
