The 20th century went out with a bang for red Burgundy lovers, with the 1999 vintage producing copious quantities of excellent to outstanding wine.
From the outset, the 1999 red Burgundies offered a rare combination of charm and power. Most of the better wines were balanced and alluring from the start, but they are evolving very slowly and still have plenty of life ahead of them. While many of the ‘99s I sampled with the producers this winter have gone through sullen stages in bottle, most of them have launched into their periods of peak drinkability. If you own these wines – and especially if you chose wisely at the outset – you will be amply rewarded.

"Not a lot of difference between the two years in terms of the raw material," said Claude Dugat, echoing my feeling that, in Gevrey-Chambertin at least, the finest 2000s are not far behind 1999 in quality. Yields at this domaine were similar to those of '99, and a small percentage of rot-affected grapes had to be eliminated from the village and premier cru lots. Dugat '99s are truly heartbreaking wines: utterly compelling Burgundies that I delayed purchasing and thus may never own. (Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, D.C.)

Claude Dugat had virtually the same yields in '99 as in '98, as his high percentage of vines on very poor soil is a strong limiting factor on production. For example, in Griottes-Chambertin, he told me, he made about 25 hectoliters per hectare in both vintages. Not surprisingly, the '99s are immensely rich, sappy wines that will showcase the potentially glorious fruit of this seductive vintage. They offer almost liqueur-like ripeness without showing the more exaggerated roasted qualities of Dugat '97s. (Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, D.C.)
