Vineyard notes: "The heart of the Enclos is the only terroir that, every year, can produce the depth, elegance and concentration that we expect of the Grand Vin. It is here that the Cabernet Sauvignon (accounting for more than 90% of the blend) can achieve optimal expression in terms of colour, richness and freshness. These wines need time - often a decade- before they begin to be ready for drinking."

1953 Vintage: Bordeaux Learn more
Vintage quality: Excellent
Current condition: Likely past it
Overall, the 1953 vintage for Bordeaux is considered to be extremely good, thanks to a benevolent growing season.
That season began with a warm, dry spring, which saw little in the way of damaging frost, and both budburst and flowering were early and very successful...
